IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS
The Electric Current viii Be Turned On the
East Birmingham Line.

I'm about two weeks said General
Manager Williams, of the Birmingham
Traction company, yesterday, 81 think we
will have our East Birmingham road in
full operation.
1.-THE cars which We're built in st. Louis,
were shipped on June Is, but they have
been delayed on the road somewhere. They
will be ready to put the track as soon
as they arrive. The road-bed and track
are as fine any in the south and is en-
tirelyfinished The stacks on the power
house syet to be set up. but this will not
take long. With these exceptions every
thing is in readiness
Until the dispute is settled in regard to
the crossing at Woodawn we will transfer
passengers from one side of the East Lake
track to the other
Work on the road-bed of the North Bir-
mingham road is also progressing splendid
ly. We are cutting down the grades, filing
up the trestles and are grading for the
double track which we are sure to have
eventually. All the work on this line will
be completed by October l."

CITY WILL LOOK :
TO LEGISLATURE
For Relief in the Sidewalk I'M
pfovement Cases
IF DECISION IS AFFIRMED
By the Supreme Court Unpaid Assessments TO
the Amount of $4,000 Are Out :
standing City Attorney
loves Opinion.
IF DECISION IS AFFIRMED

The decision rendered by Judge Sharpe
in the city court on Saturday in the side
walk improvement cases affects the city
to the tune of about $4,000.
Several of the aldermen We're seen yes
terday by an Age-Herald reporter and re-
fused to discuss the merits of the case
stating that they preferred that any opin-
ion affecting the city's interest would come
from City Attorney Lowe
Mr.. Lowe, when seen, stated that in his
opinion the decision would only delay mat
tiers until the meeting of the legislature,
when that body would be asked to ratify
the resolution of the board under which
the contracts We're made and make it
operative. The supreme court will be
asked to pass upon the case and if Judge
Sharpe is sustained the city will look to
the Legislature for relief.
1t seems that the decision hinges ON q
technicality. In the action brought by
the petitioner, an act was cited in which
a property owner was given ten years in
which to pay the assessments and it
seems that this was one method of relief
sought to be obtained.
The city authorities claim that the meth
cd which they pursued was the cheapest
way in which the improvement could be
made, publication of the ordinance not be-
ing required, which was a saving to the
property owners.
A large number of the property owners
have paid the assessment but those who
are resisting the claims propose to fight
it to the bitter end.

LIME FOR THE SOIL.

One form of lime, gypsum, has been
shown to be 4 most effective corrective
Of black alkali, found in some parts Of
the United States.
1t is impossible to state definitely
for all locations and conditions what
form of lime is cheapest to use. Caus-
tic, or quicklime, is the most concen-
trated form and consequently the
most economical to handle.
Lime in the form of carbonate Of
lime, as in mari, wood ashes, etc, can
usually be applied with safety in the
spring or at any other season of the
year, but autumn is always the safest
time to apply caustic or Stacked lime.
The use of lime as n soil inprcyer is
very ancient, and its value for this
purpose is generally recognized. Its
action as a fertilizer is both direct and
indirect. There are many soils in
which lime is deficient, notably in
soils derived from granite, mica schist,
and sandstone formations. On such
soils lime is of direct value in supply
ing necessary element of plant food.
The frequency with which lining
should be practiced depends, among
other things, upon the character of
the soil and the rate If application,
the number of years involved in the ro.
tation practiced, the plants grown and
their order of succession. As gener-
al rule, it may be stated that from one.
half to one and one-half tons OF lime
per acre every five or six years is sufll'
cient.-American Gardening,
