SPECIAL SERVICE
REVEALED AT FIRE
Standard Oil Supplies Oil And
Gas To Trucks

That there is more to the placing Of
d contract than the flat figures of the
lowest bid came to light at the city hall
Friday morning.
For years the Standard Oil company
has been awarded the contract to sup
ply Birmingham with oil and gasoline
for municipal motor vehicles. With the
delivery Of the supplies has gone a serv-
ice that is not generally known. An
instance came to light Friday after the
lumber company fire in Ensley Thurs
day evening.
ii. II. Ament is representative of
the oil company. Thursday night,
when the Estes plant caught fire in
Ensdey, Mr.. Ament called one of the
oil and gas supply trucks and sent it
to the fire. There were a number of
fire department engines at the fire, all
occurring oil and gas. As it was need
ed the Standard company's truck had
1t ready. There was no break in the
fight against the fire for lack of, fuel
or lubricants.
This service, it was pointed out at
the city hall Friday, was not part of
the contract. A little investigation
brought out the fact that the Standard
Oil company has standing instructions
from Mr.. Avant to send supply truck
to all fires. 1t also became known that
when the street department motor We
hicles move across, the city a regular
system of telephone calls precedes them
and scarifier, roller or: other mechan-
ical vehicle of the department needs oil
or gas there is a Standard truck with
IN call to fill the order and prevent de-

100000 STILL. DUE
IN CITY LICENSES
More Than $500 People Delin-
quent For 1924 -

More than $500 business people in
Birmingham have failed to take out
their 1924 licenses, representing some
thing like 100000 withheld from the
city's use in money that is overdue,
and q. W. Ellis, chief clerk of the
license bureau is listing each to pay a
10 per cent penalty for delinquency.
The budget adopted for 1924 at the
close of the last fiscal year places the
sum expected from licenses at 1926, 900.
OF this sum about seven-eighths has
been collected, it is estimated.
Figures compiled by Mr.. ellis Fri
day morning showed the first six
months of the fiscal year, beginning
with October, to have brought in $780,
SO3 from licenses, against $7O7 $3.50 for
the same period a year ago.
The first three months of the cal
endar year 1924 show $676, 496 col
lected, against $626,910 for the first
three months of the calendar year 1928.
Delinquent penalties began with the
first day of April. On @he last day of
March the license department took in
$9S,674. The closing day of last year
brought in $68, 724.
"All of which indicates" said Mr..
Ellis Friday morning, that Birming-
ham is growing steadily and whole
somely, for in license returns the bust
ness man and city builder see a very
reliable barometer of development" )

ment of 1000 in 1918 to 10000 en-
p.oyed at present.
when you stop to consider that en-
ployes are continually leaving our de-
partment because of better pay some
where else, and we have to keep feed
ing raw material into the organization,
it is remarkable we get along as well
as. we do"
Judge Moss refused to declare his
opinion of the fate of the Mellon tax
reduction bill now pending in Congress,
but stated that if the cut did come in
this session he felt the income tax de-
partment could handle returns without
very much confusion.
He further commented on the growth
of Birmingham since he visited here
eight years ago..
THAT is the most impressive feature
Of my trip so far had heard the city
was progressing but 1 had no idea it
had advanced SO FAST" he added.
Judge Moss is visiting at the home
of his sister, Mrs. s. G. Stubbins, 310S
Summit avenue. From here he will
make a '.semi-officiar' trip to Mobile.
