 Pole setting is progressing rapidly on the East Lake division of the Birming- ham Railway and Electric company. Yesterday Mayor Hood of woodlawn ap- proved the pole route through his city and the work will be finished Monday. Mayor Hood is one of the most progress sive men in this section. He knows a good thing when he sees it and helps to "push it along" Much credit is due Mayor Hood for his efforts to secure an electric line, as is also the case with May or Ellard of Avondale, who is one of the pillars of progress of this section. The poles are set through Avondale.
