SMOOTH GAME OF
 IMPERSONATION
TWO THIEVES IMPERSONATE CHIEF AUSTIN AND DETECTIVE. GET $2o BILL AND $40 WATCH FOR THEIR TROUBLE.

By impersonating Chief of Police Aus and a gold watch valued at $40 from George Romini of Adger last night in O'Haras saloon on the Bowery. Police man Smith was after the two men in a few seconds after the robbery, but was urable to catch them owing to the dark ness. They ran into the alley through the rear door of the saloon.
 The game the two men played was dar- ing as we'll as smooth. Romini says he had been drinking and was asleep with his head on a table. The man claiming to be Chief Austin shook him by the shoulder and told him he was wanted Startled at being awakened and fright ened at the thought of arrest, he made no objection. The men told him he could make bond and used a common piece of scratch paper. They refused to allow any one to sign it, but told him it must be cash.
 Romini showed a $2O bill and gold watch valued at $40. They took the money as bond and said they would hold the watch as further security. Romini be- came suspicious about this time and asked the would-be chief who his partner was. He replied detective.
 Romini. then said he would call a po- liceman with blue clothes and brass but tons, and the men offered to return $5 if he would not. He ran out and found Policeman Smith near the door, but when they returned the two men had disap- reared

ON SEWERS WILL
 NOT BEGIN FOR 60 DAYS

gineer Gray who was employed by the Sanitary Commission to examine the plans and specifications has not yet filed his report although he has had the plans and other data about two months. Ills report is, however, expected daily. After receiving his report it will take 6O days to advertise for bids and start the work.
 The original plans were drawn by City Engineer Julian Kendrick and they pro- vided for two large sewers, one to begin at East Lake and run through Wood lawn, Avondale. East Birmingham, North Birmingham, Pratt City and Ensley to a point about two miles below Ensley where will be a purifcation station and from which place the sewage will empty into Village reek.
 The other S wer will start from Birm- ingham and run to a point about two miles below Bessemer where it will empty into a purifcation plant and thence into Valley creek. This sewer will serve Bir- mingham, Bessemer and all intermedi- ate territory. It will probably be built first as Bessemer has now a partly built sewerage system. The other sewer will be built as soon as needed. The towns through which it will run have no sew craze system at present and 1t would be useless to build sewer which will be of no service to anyone. Each sewer will be from eighteen inches to five feet in diameter. The total cost of the entire system will be over half million. The exact kind of purification plants which will be used have not yet been deter mined on.

Mayor Drennen's Opinion.
 Mayor w. M. Drennen in speaking or the matter yesterday said:
 'In my opinion under the ordinance re- gently passed by the board of aldermen prohibiting the Birmingham Water Works from collecting tax for lawn sprinkling I think the collection of such tax by that company would be illegal.
 MT. Romaine Boyd resident and at- torney of Ensley has just sent me copy of the annual rates of water rents at Ensley charged by the Birmingham Water Works Company AS shown by these rates for a three room dwelling at Ensley the annual charge is s6 while in Birmingham it is $s. This company pump ing water through Birmingham to Ensley a distance of about seven miles charges two dollars less for that place.
 .'It is hard to understand why this company can furnish water to It's con- sumers at Ensley with population of less than 10000 at lower rate than to citizens of Birmingham with population of 4000O."
