DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY

1t is understood that a large amount of
lars, will be put in the Elyton company af-
ter it's reorganization.
The purpose will be to develop the prop
erty as rapidly as possible. Development
will be pushed with more vigor than ever
before since the property was brought un-
der one ownership.
With this end in view, streets will be
graded and made good wherever necessary,
water mains laid, and sanitary sewerage
put in.
1t Is thought that arrangements may be
made to erect dwelling houses for pur-
chasers of valuable lots.
The capital of the reorganized company
will be SO, 000, 600, out of which obligations
at present existing will be provided for. 1t
is in that sum that the present board of
reorganization will transfer the property.
The revenue stamps on the deed; now short
" to be recorded, viii thus be $4,000. The
stamps already affixed to the deed of court
sale to MILAN Halls, Jr., amounted to ST.
O4O; the price paid by Mr.. Halls being ST.
Oi0 Co.,
The work of reorganizing the E1yton
company's affairs will be hurried as much
as practicable, and the reorganized, or new,
company is expected to begin operations by
the first of January.
1t is understood that William Halls, Jr.,
will be elected president of the company.
Mr.. Halls is the chairman of the committee
on reorganization, and represents others
who are very largely interested in the
property He is the cashier of the Hanover
National bank, of New York. AS to the
other officers of the company, no guess has
been ventured.
Incidentally 1t is given out that the Belt
railroad will be Immediately put in the
best possible condition, and be worked to
the best advantage.

AFTER CHEAPER
SCHOOL BOOKS
Movement Inaugurated by Board
of Education.
MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT
superintendent Will Gather Statistics
of Prices Even in Other Cities
Action on Rolling Mill Dist
riet School Deferred
MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT

Birmingham's public schools are to have
cheaper text books
Steps looking to that end were taken by
the board of education last night.
The rolling mill district is not to have T.
public school just yet. Action on that
question was deferred, the committee to
which it was referred having been granted
further time.
The board of education at its regular
monthly meeting last night deferred action
on the question of a school building for the
Birmingham rolling mill district.
The committee consisting of B. Steiner,
Mayor Drennen and Superintendent ]. II.
Phillips, appointed at a previous meeting,
requested further time a.t they were not
ready TO make their report The request
was granted.
committee of three from the ConcordIa
society," headed by d. c. Behrens, appeared
before the board seeking to lease Concordia
hall to the city for school purposes. On ac-
count of the difficulty in placing seats in the
hall action on the matter was deferred.
Another matter of general interest to the
public considered last night was the ques-
ton of cheaper text books and on motion
of B. Steiner Superintendent Phillips was
instructed to procure statistics from the
various cities of the United States with
regard to prices of text books used in their
public schools.
1t is the intention of the. board to take
this matter up later on and if possible to
secure cheaper text books for the public
schools of this city.
The superintendent was, on motion In
structed to deny the privileges of the public
schools to the children of certain nom
residents. 1t Is understood that there are
some parties living outside the city limits
who send their children to the public
schools of the city, but who refuse to pay
tuition. Neither will they pay street or
poll tax.
The treasurer was instructed to make ar
engagements for the payment of the teachers
tomorrow
The Peek-Hammond company was given
the contract for putting in an additional
furnace at the Paul Hayne school. The
executive committee was instructed to have
necessary repairs made at the same school
building
Chief Parker of the negro department of
the State Fair requested that the colored
school children be given a holiday on Negro
Day, November IS, at the State Fair. The
board granted them a half holiday.
The meeting was held in the High School
building and President Samuel Ullman,
Mayor Drennen and Messrs. Steiner,
o. Brien, Gregg and Gray and Supernten-
dent Phillips were present.

FIGHT ON NEWPORT TRACK
Desperate Encounter Between Two
Race Horse Men.

Cincinnati, o., November "a bloody
fight occurred on the Newport track TINS
evening Just before the last race was run.
Dan Murray, the well-known race caller
and form book man, was attacked by Cur
lev Brown, former starter at the track,
and badly beaten up. The fight took place
in a room under the grand stand, and there
are many conflicting stories out regarding
the trouble. 1t Is claimed that Browns
two brother-in-laws, named Heating, WHO
are assisting Starter Mailman at the pres
ent meeting, were with Brown when he
Jumped on Murray. The trouble is the re-
suit of am old grudge which sprung up be-
tween Murray and Brown the Canadian
circuit last summer. Murray's face was
cut in several places, and he also received
a deep cash on the side of his head MUIR
ray is in serious condition at his hotel in
tllis city. Brown left the track after the
affair, but was later taken into custody
and put under bond. The judges have
suspended the assistant starters, and the
case will come up for a hearing in the
morning at the Queen City track.
The racing today was spirited over
good track. Attendance large, betting
brisk.
