7NO TAX RAISES
 .nFOR SALARIES, < < OFFICIALS SAY
Policemen And Bremen
 Face Defeat At Con- ference Friday

A committee representing the police men and firemen will be told by the city commission at conference Friday morning that no additional tax levies will be voted in order to grant them an additional salary increase of $5.
 This appeared certain at city hall Thursday afternoon, as commission members discussed the various sug- gestions for increasing revenues, in cluding one by Commissioner w. E. Cole to assess a head" tax of $1 on all citizens, or on those who hereto fore have had to pay no taxes.
 The sentiment of the majority of the commission was apparently voiced -by Commissioner William l.. Harrison when he said:
 II think we've done all we can for \ the policemen and firemen at this time, Grnd 1 am against taxing the people -Tny further"
 Fridays meeting will be behind closed doors, with only group of police and fire department members and few of their spokesmen present with the commission. President. D. F. McLendon expressed the belief that this would be the final conference. Like Harrison, he is opposed to any further tax increase, and it is understood that Commissioner w. E. Dickson takes the same position.
 The 1925 budget. just adopted, pro vides flat salary increase of $10 per month for policemen and firemen. They lad asked for S15. Their fight for the extra $5 is being led by Commls- sioner Cole, Civil Service Commissioner Horace Wilkinson and special com mittee from the uniformed forces.

MILLIONS SPENT
 BY COMMISSION
Shortages Seem Insignificant In
 COmptrOller's Comparison

The city hall shortages were made to appear insignificant Thursday by a re port submitted to commission members by Comptroller Armstrong, showing that more than S20,0O0,0OO had been handled at the municipal building since the McLendon administration assumed office three years ago.
 Shortages now stand officially at $37,0 ,000 with a virtual certainty that an added $18,50O has been uncovered and will be reported in the final state ment of the auditors now at work on the books.
 In three years, the commission has spent $2,439,900 on public improvement projects. However. abutting property owners reimbursed the city for large percentage of this sum.
 The public library in three years has cost S207 ,324.64, the least of any of the city's larger projects.
 School construction and equipment cost $2, 2,442. .345, and school operations, including salaries. heat, light and other expenses, cost. S4,S31 ,743.

CITY STANDS PAT FOR UNDERPASSES

The city commissions proposition to pay % per cent of the cost of the proposed Twenty-fourth street viaduct still stands. President D. B. McLen- don notified executives of the railroads involved in the grade crossing contro- versy in a letter Thursday.
 ''The commission sees no reseon why we should have to go to court over the viaduct," he wrote. "Our offer to bear part of the cost will remain open until the date set for beginning work under our ordinances just passed
 McLendon also notified the rail of ficials that the city would remain firm for underpasses west of Twenty-first street and would fight through all the courts rather than submit to viaducts, which the roads advocate.
 The Southern railway, in letter received by McLendon Thursday, re- jected the city's proposal to pay p per cent of the Twenty-fourth street viaduct cost, Oh the ground it was in adequate. The Southern, Louisville and Nashville, and SeabOard Air Line rail roads now have declined to consider the cost division plan.

 TO REPAIR STREET
J. M. Norment Says Grand Ave
 nue Is A Disgrace To City

Grand avenue, embracing territory occupied by the old Tidewater tracks from Forty-seventh street in AvOndale to the Southern railway crossing in Woodlawn, is the worst stretch of road in the city limits ''and a disgrace to any community" J. M. Norment de- clared in letter to the city commission Thursday.
 Norment wrote that be broke two automobile springs last week, and was lucky that I didn't break my neck" He said the city was not doing it's duty, and that hundreds of citizens in that section wanted the situation remedied.
 q sent the city street department and the Birmingham Electric Co. complaint month ago, but have had no reply, and conditions have steadily grown worse," he said. If it is not the city's duty to do this work, it certainly is its duty to see that the work is done by those who are respon- sible for il"
 Street Commissioner Dickson was given Norment's letter and is ex pected to take quick action.
