FURTHER ROAD WORK
 DELAYED FOR. WHILE

With present unfinished work ex- peeted to occupy 60 days more, it is unlikely that further road work will be undertaken in Jefferson county this year, Claude A. Rogers, county high way engineer. said Tuesday.
 Contracts for $50,000 worth of grad ing work on two stretches near Bir- mingham remain to be, let. but work probably will not get underway this season, Rogers says. '
 No word has been received here re- garding the distribution of federal and state aid for the county highways, it is pointed out, and the present highway board probably will have no part in the work outlined for the fiscal year begin ming Tuesday. Jefferson county's share of the state highway funds is more than $9,000,00O.

TEXAS RAILROAD
 BRANCH OPENED
One Order Already Placed With Roscoe, Snyder
 And Pacific Line

The Roscoe, Snyder and Pacific railway of Texas, "a connecting link be- tween the Texas and Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail roads, has established a branch office in Birmingham, with Leander Poole as it's representative. ,
 Officers were formally opened at 737 First National Bank building Tuesday after several months of negotiations with o. l.. Bum, secretary of the was influential in bringing about the establishment of the agency here.
 The Roscoe, Snyder and Pacific, it Poole, is an essential link in the ocean to-ocean railway system through the southern states, and plays an important part in the transportation of eastbound California fruit and west bound Bir- mingham cast iron and coke. It consists of about 60 miles of track between Roscoe, the western terminal of the Texas and Pacific, and Snyder, east ern terminal of the Santa Fe. It was announced Tuesday afternoc< by Mir. Poole that a Birmingham firm already has, placed an order for 225 tons of pipe to be sent to Snyder over the T. and F. and the short line.
 The town of Roscoe, it was added by MT. Poole, bears considerable indus trial importance because it is located in one of the large oil sections of Texas Snyder lies in on the southern border of the middle west cotton and wheat belts. Roth are growing and prosperous towns, it is said.
 Of interest to several Birmingham m busiess men is the fact that H. o, Wooten, former partner of E. T. Doug. lass of the Douglass Brothers Produce company, Morris. avenue, is vice presi. dent of the Roscoe, Snyder, and Pacific railway. rs
 Mir. Poole also represents :. the San Francisco and Sacramento rail. road in Birmingham.

CITY TO TIGHTEN RULES GOVERNING. DAIRY OPERATION
To Withhold Permits Of Those Who Fail To
 Quality Product

"July 1 marks the beginning of new permit year, and it will be the policy of the board of health to withhold per- mits from all who. fail to qualify and to utilize all the force at. its, ,comamnd to prohibit the sale of milk that is not ap- proved in accordance with provisions of the city's milk regulations :. - This statement came from Dr. J. D. Bowling, health officer, after commit tee of dairymen appeared before the city commission Tuesday and charged that around 2.500 gallons of bootleg" milk is being sold daily. z.
 The dairymen, who made their pro- test with the full accord of health au- thorities, charged that the health of children is being menaced, that the milk ordinance is not being properly enforced and that, in consequence, their own eff forts to safeguard the milk supply are being hampered.
 Like Bootleg LiquoA
 S. B. Smyer of the Glen Iris dairy was spokesman for the protestants, about twenty five in number and in- eluding all the large operators. He said bootleg milk is just as bootleg whisky. Making it plain that no criti- cism was directed at the health depart ment, he asked the commission to take appropriate action.
 President D. E. McI4endon told the delegation the commission could only enact laws recommended blythe health board. He expressed sympathy with the movement and promises to refer the matter to Mrs. Mary Echols, con1mis- sioner of health, as soon as she returns < from New York. @.-s.. : -. Meanwhile, Dr. Bowling said the pro- srtest of the dairymen would tend to 2 hurry the situation to q asHew-down," i" which the health department welcomes.
 Approximately 80 per cent of the total milk supply is now meeting the city standards" said Dr. Bowling. There remains approximately 20 per cent of the milk supply being distributed in its raw state, which has never been brought upi to the legal standard, and the pro- ducers of this milk hold no permit from the board of health.
 Avoid Legal Measures
 "0f the portion of the milk supply that is meeting the standards, approxi- mately 80 per. cent is .pasteurized and 20 per cent is raw. The producers and distributors of both these classes of milk are cooperating with the health de- apartment and. with each other. These interests are justly advocating the en: forcement of the milk law as the only means by which their business may be stabilized and safeguarded against the disturbing effects of bootleg milk.
 up to now it has been the policy of the department of health Sin dealing with the milk situation to limit it's ac- tivities to educational and corrective methods and to postpone a resort to law enforcement so long as such methods offered hope of success. It is apparent, however, that there remains a restricted group of dairymen fwho hesitate to mako the.necessary adjust ments except in response .td@eoercion." l"
 The commission probably will go fur ther into the situation immediately on Mrs. Echols' return. Meanwhile, the health authorities will launch a de- termined drive to prevent the operation of dairymen without permits
