DICKSON TO DISCUSS
 GARBAGE PROBLEMS
Kiwanians Ask Commissioner To Outline Plans To Relieve Situation

Members of the Kiwanis club have invited Commissioner W. E. Dickson to be their guest at the weekly luncheon Tuesday and outline for their information the garbage han ding problem of Birmingham and what plans the city is making to re- lieve the situation.
 MT. Dickson has been in communi- cation with sanitary experts in re- gard to survey of the situation in Birmingham and has compiled much data on the cost of installation and operation of incinerators.
 Saturday morning MT. Dickson re- ceived information from the Balmer corporation in New York to the eff feet that incineration in modern plants operated in cities of 100000 population cost about $l per ton for handling, when dry and wet refuse are handled separately. AnalyzlnS the somewhat lengthy report re- ceived from this source of informa- tion, MT. Dickson said an annual cost of S150,000 for Birmingham was indi- cated, if that method was used against an annual cost today of S90- 900.
 This latest report received also Sldltu that IHOutIn lHClllSA ReNA plants would cost about $l,500 per ton capacity for installation.
 The commissioner was not deeply impressed by the communication from New York, saying it was his belief that equipment and mainte- nance could be handled for consid- erably less. However, he will have this report and several others to cite for comparison before the ha- Wanians

BOARD BILL
 READY THIS WEEK
Wynn Says Measure Will Satisfy Organizations Urg-
 ing Legislation

City Attorney w. J. Wynn stated Saturday that the park board bill will be completed in time to place before the legislature during the latter part of this '7eek, and progress in it's com pilation so far had been apparently satisfactory to interested orSaniza- tions.
 The bill will conform to the Ie- sires of the Kiwanis club, which is taking an active interest in it." MT. Wynn said, and others have been aken into consideration during the preparation of the measure.
 1t has been a delicate task to ar range the measure to give sufficient permanency and sta ability to the park board and at the same time not com pletely divorce the board from the governing body Of the city.
 Tt is essential that while the park and recreation board should have eer- tain well-defined powers there should always exist strong bond of union and perfect harmony between the park board and the governing body of the city. I believe the bin as finally drawn, will accomplish these results

SHIPPERS TO DEMAND CONCENTRATION RATES
Legislature Asked To Insist On
 Necessary Legislation

Alabama cotton shippers have de- termined to press what they regard as their just claim to concentration of Ala bama cotton and other com modities at points in-Ihe state on reasonable rates. A bill empowering the state utilities commission to specifically prescribe intrastate rates and regulations oil concentration of cotton and other commodities inside the state is before the legislature and is being pushed by cotton hand lers and others.
 The Birmingham Traffic associa- tion in the name of its shipper mem bers has addressed an appeal to the legislature to stand by thls bill and see that it becomes law. The. railroads did recently grant rates on concentration of cotton. 1t is set forth, but it is claimed that the rates and regulations in that schedule are unreasonable. There is thought to be some doubt as to the full power of the commission in this matter, hence the pressing of the law speci- fically comforting that power. The interstate commerce commission has authority to prescribe all manner of concentration and other inter- state in transit privileges and rates and it is held that the state com mission should have like authority on intrastete rates looking 10 the same end.
 Concentration rates. it is pointed out, would affect mixed feeds, lum- Der and variety of commodities and serve to enable any Alabama point we'll situated for concentration or commodities to become real con centratiou center.
 The complaint originally grew out of the alleged discrimination in fa- vor of cotton moving to Carolina mill points which. 1t is claimed, allowed concentration privileges and ad vantages not allowed Alabama cot ton going to mills in this state.

Alabama iron production in the first seven months of this year to- taled 1,6SO,667 tons. an increase over the same period in 1922 of 5S9,549 tons, or 47 per cent.
 The production has been at the rate of 24O,O00 tons month and 2,SS0,00O tons for the year. If this rate of production is slightly in- creased, the output for the year will come near the record production Tn 1917, when, during the war period, every Alabama stack, fair weather and regular, was in operation and producing at forced momentum. The record in 1917 was 2,s5O,00V tons. The 1923 record seems certain of be- ing second only to the 1917 high.
