FIRST NATIONAL
 LOOKS TO FUTURE

The First National Bank of Bir- mingham will utilize the recently acquired 25 feet on Second avenue ad- joining the present building, for an extension of its banking room and also the wings of it's ten-story building at Second and Twentieth street. This was the information given to The Age-Herald Monday by Oscar Wells, president, although he explained that the property was under lease for some time yet, and could not be utilized until the lease expires. The bank paid $125,OoO approximately for the lot which is improved with a two-story building. At this price the rate was $5,OOO per front. foot The lot faces Sec ond avenue on the east side of the bank building and goes back 40 feet to Second alley.
 Mir. Wells said the banking rooms of the First National if expansion is need ed would be thrown into the new space and it would follow that the wings of the building would be likewise extended.

SMALL PER CENT !. OF MILK SUPPLY
 IS ADULTERATED
FBulmer's Report Shows Marked Decrease In
 Infant Mortality

Less than 2 per cent of the Birming- ham milk supply now is adulterated, as compared with 50 per cent when the present milk code was enacted three years ago, says the annual report of l.. c. Bulmer, chief of the dairy inspection division of the health department, which was nearing completion Monday for submission to the city commission.
 Bdlmer said additional progress in milk control here would be shown by the. report as follows:
 < Milk consumers are saving approxi- mately $1OO,00O year which they for merly paid for water.
 Typhoid fever and infant colitis death rates have been reduced 60 per cent, largely in consequence of the enforce ,ment of the milk code.
 Twenty new dairies were established during the year and the amount in- vested was more than $50O,0OO.
 The dairy COW population increased from 1000 to 5000, and II 300 gallons of milk per day now is produced here.
 Production and sale of milk in the district causes more than -$25,OOO to change haneds daily; this being at the rate of $l ,OOO, 900 year, or an increase of 30 per cent since the milk code became effective.
 Dairymen Cooperate
 None of the established dairies arc selling adulterated milk, and 80 per cent of the dairymen of the district are cooperating fully with the department of health in its "pure milk" campaign.
 "Our annual report" Mir. Bulmer added, twill show a material improve ment in the raw milk situation. The 2S raw milk operators behind the pro- posed ordinance to modify the milk code are being forced to comply with all regulations in order to hold their per mits. Some of these dairymen. how ever, are complying unwillirgly, but the department will be enabled to keep the situation under control if the existing regulations are allowed to stand"
 Action on the so-called "stabilization' ordinance will be taken by the city commission shortly-possibly Tuesday. it was learned Monday. Its defeat by vote of at least to 2 was recently assured by a poll of the members:

VIADUCT ACTION BELIEVED NEAR Dickson Hopeful Of Agreement Within
 Ten Days

Direct negotiations with the railroads, which Street Commissioner W. E. Dick son believes will result in 10 days in an agreement for immediate beginning of work on viaduct at Twenty-fourth street, were under way Monday.
 Dickson admitted he was making de- termined efforts to bring matters to head" but withheld details of the plan he is following.
 The three underpasses which the city has ordered the railroads to >con- struct at other downtown grade cross ings are not involved in the present ne- gotiations, but the street commissioner indicated that if the Twenty-fourth street viaduct controversy iss amicably adjusted, a movement to evade long court fight over underpasses will follow.
 Other commission members said they could not talk about the situation un- til Mir. Dickson concludes his negotia- tiOns. They seemed hopeful that the viaduct controversy, at least, would be ended.
 Tt will be about 10 days before ] will know anything definite" was all Dickson would say.
 The commission and railroads are ir agreement concerning the method ol relief at Twenty-fourth street, but arc at issue over a division of costs, the city seeking to pay 25 per cent, plus property damages, and the railroads de manding that the city pay 35 per cent. plus property damages. The difference is approximately S3O,O0O.

ASHBURN HERE
 FOR INSPECTION 3 OF BARGE LINE
Numerous Details o
 x. as Service To Be Fss Dealt With

Gen. T. Q. Ashburn, executive of ficer of the Inland Waterway commis- sion, reached Birmingham Monday night accompanied by members of the advisory committee The visitors were met at the station by Henry F. DeBar- deleben, Wilbur D. Nesbitt, A. w. Allen and E. W. Carey.
 General Ashburn said that the visit here was another effort to keep a close line on the Warrior river barge line, and to demonstrate to those interested that the Inland Waterways was vital. ly concerned with the future of the line and unwilling to overlook any step which would contribute to the up- building of the service. He said the matter of eliminating switching charges between and Ensley was of the great the subjects given the closest atten- tion. -.
 General Ashburn said the adjustment of traffic details whereby the Warrior line could make interchanges of traffic ats several points in the state would receive the study of the officials while here. - - "
 To Go By Train ~.
 The committee will leave for Bir- mingport on special train operated by the Ensley Southern. The commit tee will be able to see the conditions of the Ensley Southern, now in the hands of a receiver. The advisory com mittee is expected to be so impressed with the vital necessity of the improve ment of that line and its constant oper- ation as to bring about some plan whereby it may be taken out of the hands of the court and operated as an integral part of the Bort of Birming- ham corporation or leased to the Bir- mingham Southern under such arrange ments as will insure the maximum efficiency of service. The line is owned by the Southern Railway, whose of- ficials have been informed by Secretary Weeks, that any attempt to evade the rendition of adequate service will incur the extreme disfavor of the de- pertinent of war.
 Return This. Afternoon
 The committee will return from Lock IT, during the afternoon and is expected to go to Tuscaloosa Wednesday morning where a conference will be held with shippers and other interests there. The party will return to Birmingham dur ing the evening and will leave for Washington in time for conference there December 13, when vital things may be decided.
 Members of the party expressed keen pleasure over the visit to Mobile, say ing that the attitude of the people there was one indicating willingness to CO., operate in every improvement of con- ditions between Birmingham and that city.
 Those reaching here include General Ashburn James E. Smith, president of the Mississippi Valley association {; Robert A. Brown, M. J. Sanders of Mobile; H. w. Seamons of Clinton, Iowa; Theodore Brent of New Orleans.
 The party will hold open discussion of the Warrior Barge line needs with interested persons and will hear any suggestion relative to the improvement of, that service while in Birmingham. The meetings probably will be held at the Chamber of Commerce offices.
 General Ashburn and members of his staff will be entertained Tuesday by officials of the Chamber of Commerce.

SIXTEEN BARGEs LEASED
New Equipment Expected To Relieve '! River Shortage

s fGlV0r SH0fGaR0 .
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail road company has leased to the Inland Waterways corporation, 16 steel barges to be placed in operation on the War rior river. This announcement, coming simultaneously with the visit to Bir- mfngham of the Inland Waterways advisory board will be of unusual in terest, it is believed.
 The leasing of the barges by the Tennessee company is expected to be followed by their purchase just as soon as the Inland Waterways can secure sufficient funds. The boats are con- structed of steel and most of them are tied in at Louisville waiting to be lowed to Mobile and thence to service in the barge line.
 The requirement of the barges will go long way towards relieving the se- rious shortage of equipment existing on the line about which the officials have been worried. However, much addi- tional equipment is necessary as the traffic being offered is gaining in volume every day.
 PRACO TRAIN OFF
 The Praco accommodation which for years has been operating from the Louisville and Nashville station to Pra- co ceased Monday by permission of the Alabama public service commission Following long drawn out examina- tion the commission granted the peti- tion of the Louisville and Nashville and permitted the train to be taken off. The principal reason for the elimination of the train was the prohibitive cost, and the low revenue. The statement was made during the examination that the train crew was paid more than the train earned in gross revenue.
 The move has caused the Louisville and Nashville to change the time of de- parture of it's afternoon train to Gads- den and Anniston. The train leaves now at 3 :25 o'clock as against 4 20 o'clock heretofore. The. morning train will arrive here at 10 40 a. m. from Anniston instead of 9 .21 o'clock.
