BOARD TOCHOOSE
 SITE THIS WEEK
Final Location Of West End School Still
 Unknown

Final decision upon the location of the. new public school in West End will be made within two or three days by the board of education, it was an- nounced Monday at the executive of- fees of Birmingham public schools. Immediate action on the site must be taken, it was explained, because the option on the Lee avenue site, hereto fore favored by the board, expires July 31.
 Several weeks ago West End citizens objected to the board of education's s proposed selection of the Lee avenue site. An attempt was made to sub stitute Harrison park as the location of the new school, but this met with little success, and Hartford avenue was advanced as compromise.
 Mass meetings have been held in West End from time to time to voice their dissatisfaction with the boards choice. Last week, about 150 persons who attended one of the meetings marched to school headquarters at 203O Park avenue to add strength to the protest that had already been sub mitted to the board. It was found, however, that there were many con fllcting opinions in this group of rep resentatiye residents of West End, and heated arguments followed. The board announced at that lime that the loca- tions would be reconsidered in the near

future with the view of doing what will be best for the children who will prob ably attend the school and their par ents.
 What decision the board will reach is matter of speculation. Some point with significance to the remarks of school officials who have said that in every previous case that the board of education has reversed similar de- cision on the instances of protests from citizens, both board and citizens have later admitted that mistake was made. This indicates, some say, that the board will stand pat" No one claims, however, that this is surety. West Binders are still optimistic, many hay ing stated that tsey feel sure that the board will change its decision.

EXPECT FINISH
 OF COURT AUDIT
 BY WEDNESDAY
Officials Refuse To Di- vulge Findings Of
 Long Check

Audit of books in the third division of the municipal court probably will be completed by Wednesday of the current week, R. l.. Malcomb, state book examiner, said Monday afternoon.
 Additional mystery has been thrown on the examination of these accounts by refusal of Judge Thomas Mccall, chief state examiner, under whose di- rection the audit is being made, to disclose the findings brought out by the check.
 Asked to confirm a report that the report of the auditors had been placed in his hands, Judge Mccall declared that the work of his men is not yet complete, and added that he would .'have nothing to say even when they have submitted their report" W. l.. Avery and MT. MalcOmb have been at work on the audit for the past two weeks.
 Intense secrecy has shrouded the en- tires examination of accounts in the court, which is presided over by Judge Thomas R. Lea. First intimation that a check was to be made came when the two state examiners started work, almost simultaneously with rumors of heavy shortage in the accounts of the court.
 Silence Maintained
 Admitting only that they were sent to Birmingham by Judge Mccall to make thorough check of the books sinee 1917, Malcomb and Avery have maintained a silence regarding the req son for their work. They have declared they are not at liberty to discuss the findings of their audit, and that any information as to whether a shortage has been located will have to come from Judge Mccall or his superiors. I.ucien W. Brown, clerk of the court, has issued statements denying all rumors of a shortage. Reason for the audit, he ayers, is to determine the legality of collection of a 25-cent release fee on certain judgments. The custom of collecting this fee, he points out, has been prevalent for a number of years, and no definite decision ever had been handed down regarding its legality.
 No Shortage Reported
 Further cause for the investigation is a check on a number of small judg- 1ments that never had been collected, Brown says, because of various req sons, chief of which is a low financial condition of parties concerned.
 When the examination of books in the court was started, Jim Davis, sOlic- itor, announced that no official report of a shortage in the court had been submitted to him. He declared, how ever, that if he should learn, from of ticial sources, of real shortage, he would immediately bring the matter before the Jefferson county grand jury. |
 Although Judge Mccall has an- uouneed that he will have nothing to | give out regarding the findings of the two examiners, it is expected that he | will turn their report over to Solici- 1 tor Davis if shortage is located in | the accounts.

Dillon Says Work To Be Completed
 By September 15
 No difficulty will be experienced this year in completing, before the required time of September 15, the work on the apportionment of taxes, L. R. Dillon, county tax assessor, said Monday.
 Dillon's statement was made in de- nial of a report that he had increased his office force in an effort to have the work completed by the required time. Work has been progressing steadily since July 1, when the county tax books were returned to the assessor by the tax commissioners.
 Two crews of clerks have been at work during this period, and the return from vacations of other clerks results in a third crew being placed immediate ly on the job, Dillon says. Total taxes collected in Jefferson county are ex- pected by Dillon to exceed $S,OOO,O0O during the CArrent year.

FERTILIZER NEEDED.
MOT POWER, SAYS
SHOALS ENGINEER

| WASHINGTON, May g w. G..
Waldo, engineer of the Tennessee
River Improvement association, re-
Stunning his testimony at today's hear
| ing of the senate agriculture commit
| tee in support of Henry Ford's bid,
said there is no shortage of indus
trial waterpower in the southeast,
and declared Muscle Shoals repre-
scented only a small part of the power
resources of the section.
Reiterating his contention that
Muscle Shoals be used primarily for
fertilizer manufacture and not power
distribution, he said decision should
first be reached as to what use
should be made of the property.
| Under the Ford offer, the power
at Muscle Shoals will be employed
| primarily in the public interest and
primarily under public control" the
engineer said.
The record shows that nitrogen
! fertilizers can be supplied to the
| farmers at 5 cents per pound of am
monia instead of 20 cents to %. cents
now paid, and that half-price fer
tiliZer is a very reasonable eXpecta-
ton under the Ford Offer" Waldo
said.
He declared the useful continuous
power available at Muscle Shoals
would be only 241 900 horsepower
after both dams Nos. and have
been completed, and that storage
dams in the upper Tennessee river
ri
600 horsepower.
Ford's obligations to produce fer
tilizer will require improvement of
some of the irregular and unreliable
power, he said.
Since profit on fertilizer is limited
to per cent, he said, cit follows
that the Muscle Shoals power will be
employed primarily in the public in
terests and primarily under public
control
"As long as the state utility COM
missions agree as to the rate to be
charged for the power, the federal
government has not basis for inter-
ference" he added. He contended
Ford would get no clear title to the
property, and that "the government
is not selling $85 100000 worth of
property for $5,000.OO0,' because 'the
property has no such value"
The witness agreed with Chair
man Norris that a wide variety of
power available on streams in the
south coulde be utilized in a super
power system so that a uniform
supply would be available.
Senator johnson, farmer-labor,
Minnesota. urged a study of flood
control for the Mississippi river to
provide power the year around.
Chairman Norris and Senator
Ransdell Democrat. Louisiana,
asked if Waldo had any objection
TO amending Ford's contract to pro-
vide for distribution Of surplus pow
er and Waldo declared it would be
difficult to determine surplus be-
cause of uncertain demand for fer
tilizer.
Senator Ransdell regarded fer
tilizer as the big thing at Muscle
Shoals" but said surplus power
should be distributed. Waldo sug-
gested the reduction in fertilizer
cost would benefit Louisiana farm
ers more than would cheaper power
and said Ford should be given all
available power.

Wheat was firm early today but the
advance was difficult to hold. An
encouraging feature was the fact
that support came out around the

When the error was corrected buy

increase in selling pressure. An

ness in Winnipeg and a report that
