CITY OFFICIALS ARE
BACK FROM
NASHVILLE
HAD A PLEASANT TIME SOCIALLY
AND INSPECTED NEW PROCESS
OF PAVING sTREETs-PAVE-
MENT SIMILAR TO ASPHALT.

Mayor Drennen, with other city off,
cials, who have been absent in Nashville
for the past two days inspecting the lay
ing of street paving in that city, re-
turned to Birmingham yesterday morn
ing.
Mayor Drennen stated that he was
highly pleased with his trip, both from
an instructive and social point of view.
He states that the process of paving
which is now being done upon many of
Nashville's streets. is that employed by
Warren Bros. & Co.. and known as War
ren's Bituminous Macadam Paving. This
paving differs from others in that it is
composed of proportionate parts of lime
stone asphalt sand and pitch. These are
treated In manner practiced only by the
Warren people. The paving is laid and
rolled by 20 ton roller while hot. Sew
eral layers are put down, one on another,
and rolled level before the work is COM
plete. The surface, when completed, is
rougher than that of asphalt.
1t is claimed by the manufacturers of
this paving that 1t is superior to any
asphalt paving made. The claim Is also
made that the rough surface is superior
to the smooth surface of asphalt streets.
in enabling vehicles to be drawn more
easily over them. Mayor Drennen is of
the opinion, however, that the rough sur
face might be Objectionable on account
of the inability to keep it clean by sweep
ing.
Those composing the party from here
were Mayor w. M. Drennen, ]. F. Ora
ham, chairman of the street committee;
Aldermen ]. R. Copeland and Harry
Jones. members of the street commit
tee; John MeCarten, street commissions
er; Julian Kendrick. city engineer, and
John B. Donelson of the Donelson Com
struction company. The party was taken
charge of in Nashville by Mayor Head,
Mr.. Ingram of the Nashville Roofing
company, and Major Castle. representing
the Warren Bros. company.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"McFadden's Row Of Flats"

1t is claimed that the new "McFadden's
Row of Flats" has more fun to the
square inch this year than 1t ever had
before 1t is said that II is full Of bright
specialties and the selection of McFad-
denis daughters and their other young
lady friends has been exceedingly care
full for two reasons-one was to insure
perfection in the ensembles and 10 enable
the management to carry out a project
he has long desired to see an accom-
plished fast-the grouping together of
bevy of pretty talented girls who can
sing and dance anthing In the whole
range OF farce comedy and light opera.
This organization. therefore, is said to
be most complete In all its details. The
principals are artists of metropolitan rep
utation; the specialists are of the most
popular and skillfui and the choruses are
bright, pretty. tuneful. graceful and chic.
Thus has the management endeavored
to keep abreast of the best theatrical at
traction In New York. and to give his
patrons on the road just the creme de la
creme Of what Is uppermost In the public
mind. It is said that the fun Is faster
than II ever was before. and the cos
tunes, scenery and stage effects are new
and finer than ever.
"McFadden's Row of Flats will be
at the jefferson theatre next wednesday
and will be the only attraction Of the
week.

out by the republicans, but it is claimed
that the greatest campaign work will be
done in the ninth and seventeenth de-
tricts, at present represented by Under
wood and Burnett. Amos Goodhue of

probable opponent of Congressman Bur-
nett In the seventh. has written a letter
stating that he is not a candidate and
has no idea of becoming one. 1t is said
that Oliver d. Streets of Guntersville will,
In all probability, oppose Mr.. Burnett.

pleted early in the coming year. It was
to have been finished this fall, but the
steel material which was que July has
not yet been received. It is to be supplied
by a Pittsburg concern, and will come
within the next few weeks.
William c. Weston, who was the super
vising architect of the Woodward. and
who Is the architect OF the Third avenue
ana the Second avenue buildings, says
he can complete the Title uuarante:
building in four or five months after the
steel is on the ground.
Last year was a record-breaKer in
building operations In Birmingham, but
this year will make even better record.
During a period of twelve months ending
May 1, 1902, 1865 buildings were erected in
Birmingham and its suburbs at an aggre-
gate cost of a little over three and a
quarter millions. The number of new
houses this year will easily exceed 1000,
and tho average cost will be considerably
greater than that of any previous twelve
months.
Included in the important buildings
now IN course of construction, or just
completed, are the Hillman hospital, to
joining the hospital, to cost between 3d.
900 and $4,000; the Southern clubhouse.
costing about $4,000; the R. Mcconnell
& Co. building erected for the Cooper
Furniture company. on Third avenue, and
the Wood, Dickerson & co. building OH
Third avenue.
New Buildings Ready.
1.-The Mcconnell building is ready for
occupation. The Southern club is about
finished The Medical college will be
completed by the first of October and the
Hillman hospital the first of next March.
Work on the Athletic club house will be
started this fall. The building will adj
join the Southern club on Twentieth
street and will be both handsome and
solid
1t is believed In building circles that
one or two elegant apartment houses
will be erected between now and spring.
It Is known that more than one architect
has made apartment house designs. 1t is
probable that the first building of this
class to go up will be for bachelors.
There is a pressing demand for bachelor
apartments and architects and real estate
agents agree that money invested. In a
six or seven story building either on the
South Highlands or the Northside. to be
occupied by unmarried men would pay
big dividends.
Capitalists who have considered the
apartment house question have been In
clned to hold Off until the cost of mate
rial and wages declined, but the field is
so tempting right now that 1t should not
be difficult for enterprising agents to
before the end of autumn.
