EPIDEMIC CLOSES
 SUNDAY SCHOOLS
tcontinued From First Page)

Similar cards are being distribut- ed in the factories in cases where employees are absent in order that any possible case of the disease may be tabulated. Toward this end, phy- sicians of the city and other assist ants have been assigned to the dif- ferent plants to keep track of this work
 With the closing Of the schools, this move was made necessary by the health board as the schools proved a valuable means of locating cases. because there hastbeen a dis position on the part of some families to conceal the fact that the malady had entered their homes. This at. titude has hindered the efforts Of the health officer and every means is being undertaken to make sure that the slightest suspect shall be thor oughly investigated and If necessary quarantined.
 In discussing the concealment feature Of the situation, Dr. Wois' ard said this morning that people knowing of suspicious illness in theil neighborhoods, should report. The information. while being held strict ly confidential as to its source, will assist the health officer in restrict ing the spread of the epidemic al segregation of the family means fewer contracts.

Will Determine Valuation Of
 First Avenue Property

A special committee on appraisal. consisting of John D. Chichester, Rob ert l.. Gregory and William A. Watts was appointed Monday by Probate Judge J. P. Stiles to determine fair val nations on property needed by the city in widening First avenue.
 After completing its work this com mittee will make q formal report, which will form the basis of settlement with property owners, unless objections are raised to the valuations set. In that case appeal may be made to the cir cult court.
 According to an agreement reached by the city commission. the board of revenue and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, the avenue from Forty to Fifty seventh streets is to be paved up to IS inches of the street car tracks at county expense, provided the city obtains all rights of way needed for widening and the street car company completes the paving.
