COUNTY PROTESTS
 ROAD TAX DIVISION.
Indicates New w ofkin g Agreement Involving Paw
 ina Of Streets

Determination on the part of the Jefferson county board of revenue to oppose payment of moro than this years part of the city's share of the special 1o-cent road tax may lead to q working agreement for city-county road building in the near future, it was predicted in court house circles at the close of the week.
 Differences of opinion in the mat ter of aliocating expenditures de- rived from the county and its hub of population and wealth may be com promised to a practical extent by this agreement, it was informally pre- dicted. /
 Board of revenue members. in pointing out that they had spent nearly $2oo.ooo on roads which: they charge. the city should pay for to a large extent, claim they are com pelled to carry the burden of build. ing these roads without full credit and at the same time pay over to the city its share of the tax re. ceipts in full under the ruling or the supreme court of Alabama.
 The board Saturday threatened to present a bill from the county for
 
 limits, if the city commission in- sisted upon their legal part of the 10-cent special tax.
 Birmingham taxpayers, in carrying the major portion of the road tax burden, are entitled to a better spirit of acquiesence to the court ruling, city officials pointed out in this con- nection.
 "It is not only that Birmingham population, because 1t is larger and wealthier, shoulders the heavy end of road taxation that should bring the county to an ainiable agreement, but that the city is an inseparable part of the county-community organiza- tfon and co-exists with it; there shouldn't be any family friction in Jefferson" one official asserted.
 Maintenance of county roads through the city does not benefit Birmingham alone" the official con- tinued. Tt amounts, in fact. to es- sentially the same thing as the coun- ty roads running through any other center or population in the county territory"

 AT THE MESSIAH
Gordon Erickson Gets Ova. ton And Token For Work
 With Chorus

Birmingham music lovers, nearly 5000 of them, crowded into the new Masonic auditorium Sunday after noon and heard HandePs sacred or- atorio, "The Messiah" presented by the Municipal Choral society as- sisted by four soloists, Miss Dicie Howell, soprano; Mrs. R. P. Me- Cowan, contralto; Arthur Craft, ten- or; and Herbert Gould, bass. Practic- ally every seat in the huge auditorium oratrio began, and the usual late- corners were obliged to stand.
 Those who went back missed q musical treat; and those who stood up for the two and a half hours that the program lasted were well repaid. The whole audience was thorough- ly appreciative and voiced it's pleas ure whenever it had an opportunity. The applause after each aria and chorus was not the perfunctory kind indulged in as a matter of courtesy to the person or persons on the stage; it expressed an enthvsiastfo approval and once or twice threat rened to break out before tho conciu- sion of the number.
 Honors Divided.
 Honors were divided among the four artists singing the solo recita- tives and arias, the 150 members of the chorus, the orchestra and it's con- ductor, o. Gordon Erickson. The au- dience voiced it's approval of the pro- gram as a whole and played no fa- vorites. Several times the succeeding number was delayed while an artist acknowledged applause.
 Miss Dicie Howell, soprano, came to Birmingham from New York es- pecially for Sundays redition of "The Messiah" and brought with her lyric voice of such unusual quality and beauty that 1t has brought her to the favorable notice of the critics critics are said to be hardest to please and stingy with their praise:
 Mrs. R. P. McCowan. contralto.. of Birmingham, Is well known for her work as choir singer in several local churches. Her voice, like Miss Howelrs, is well adapted to oratorio, and she sang with the chorus in one Arthur Fraft, tenor, was also per- fectly at home with his part in "The Messiah" having appeared with ten choral societies during the month or December. There were several op- portunities to display an unusually and he took full advantage of them. Herbert Gould, bass. is remembered for his part in this oratorio two years ago, and he showed Sunday that he was still popular with Q Birmingham audience.
 The chorus sang several numbers to excellent effect, the 150 voices blending perfectly with one another and with the orchestra. MT. Brick son, conductor. was presented with gold-headed cane in appreciation of his work with the chorus on this and previous occasions. In his speech of presentation, Rev. J. M. Broadly of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church spoke of the spirit of help fulness displayed by MT. Erickson in making the Sunday afternoon concerts Q popular Birmingham tn- stitution.
