Much interest Is manifested here now in the furnaces that the Central Coal and Iron Company contemplates building in this section in the near future. Tusca- loosa offers the Warrior river and water transportation. and good railroad con- nections as Inducements, but the coal region lies farther to the north and all the coal used would have to be hauled about thirty miles if the furnaces were located here. Tn spite of this. however, there is a strong probability that they will be erected in. Tuscaloosa, and if the city Is so fortunate 1t will add very greatly to her industrial prosperity.
