PERRY STREET LINE
fTRACKS TO BE LAID IN CENTER OF THE ROAD.
.Traction Company Agrees to Pro- position of Board of Revenue to Repair Bridge Over
 the Slough.

: On request of citizens living on the ex- tension of Perry Street over which thor oughfare the Montgomery Traction Com pany has franchise to operate a street railway, the Board of Revenue of Mont
 gomery County yesterday fixed the center
 of the roadway as the point over which the cars of the new company will run.
 The citizens and property holders of ! the Perry Street extepsion were very earnest in their objections to the cars operating on side of the street, hold ing that their property would be injured
 thereby. It was emphatically declared
 by some that in case such step was
 taken by the Board the matter would be
 taken into the courts.
 w. H. Ragland. President of the Trac-
 ton Company said that 1t made no diff
 ference to him. whether the tracks were
 located in the middle of the street or on
 either side. He declared himself willing
 to do what the Board saw fit. Discussion then arose as to how cars
 would cross the bridge over the Perry
 Street slough. It was the original inten-
 fion of crossing the slough by way of a
 trestle to oneside of the County's bridge
 but the locating of the tracks In the cen
 ter of the road rendered this plan inn
 practicable.
 Members of the Board proposed to grant the Traction Company the right
 to cross the bridge if the Company would so repair 1t as to make 1t permanent
 structure with brick abutments and thir- Fy-two feet wide.
 MT. Ragland, President of the car com pany. said that he was willing to do this If the County would share half of the expense, but he did not think it just for the entire expense to be unloaded on the shoulders of his company. I | John Carter, a member of the Board, said that in view of the fact that the County had been particularly generous
 in granting franchises for the Traction Company he thought 1t little enough for the company to make this bridge per manent structure.
 More discussion seemed liable to follow, when MT. Ragland said to the Board that he so believed in the propensity of the EBoard for doing the right thing that he was willing to abide by anything the Board decided upon.
 The motion of MT. Carter to have the
 bridge made a permanent structure by
 fhe Traction Company prevailed by lnnanimous vote.
 County bills for the week were passed and the Board adjourned until Monday.

J.. R. Grady. deceased, was introduced py Senator Rodgers of Sumter. senator Kennedy of .Lauderdale, in- troduced bill to amend Section S6oe of the Code. and. Senator Hogue of Perry another to amend Section 5O04 of the Code.
 Pay of State Chemist.
 The only debate of the session was on the bill called up by Senator Harrison. amending the Code of 1896 so as to better compensate the State Chemist for the analysis of human stomachs when poison is suspected of having caused death. The sum allowed under the present law is u5, ridiculousiy low sum according to opinion of Senator Harrison and others.
 The bill as originally introduced pre- vidcd maximum compensation of sloO, but the bill had been reported with a substitute by the committee fixing the limit at s7s. the provision being that this was intended merely to defray the actual expenses of the State Chemist Ill prose- cutting his Investigations.
 The substitute bill was strongly sup ported by Senators Harrison of Lee and Acree of Dale. who contended that even under the law proposed the compensa- ton for the State Chemist was far below that prevailing in other States for similar services
 Senator Bullock of Franklin offered an amendment allowing sthe State Chemist T5 where he Is called on to testify in court in the matter under investigation. and $50 where he is not
 This was supported by Senator Hipp of Cullman and opposed py Senator Morrow of Jefferson. The amendment was later withdrawn. whereupon Senator Hogue offered another. fixing the limit of com pensation for the State Chemist at $50 ip all cases. This was tabled on motion of Senator Morrow.
 The work of examing bodies Of per sons suspected to have died from effects of poison. though usually done by the State Chemist. was Believed by some to be a part of that officials duties. while by some it was held otherwise.
 Work Made Mandatory.
 To remedy what appeared 10 be uncer- tain in the law Senator Thomas of Bar bour offered an amendment to the bill under consideration making this work mandatory upon the State Chemist This was adopted.
 Senator Harrison then moved to table the amendment In the form of a substi- tute submitted by the committee. and this carried, leaving the bill in the form in which 1t was first introduced
 Senator Hipp of Cullman found the bill objectionable in that 1t provided extra compensation for a State official who draws a salary for his other duties. He submitted an amendment stipulating that the chemists fees for work of this kind should be deducted from his salary, less actual expenses incurred in making the examination.
 On motion of Senator Acree this was tabled and the bill put upon its passage. It passed by vote of g to 2.
 A motion to recess until 3:30 o'clock was voted down, and a motion to ad- journ until 10:30 today prevailed.

 If you have read Peter Simple" you remember this character and his often- made assertion that H.s72 years ago the world and all therein was the same as to- day and that the same number of years hence the same state of affairs will be in existence.
 Suppose we accept the carpenters the ory long enough to picture some of our law-makers H,S72 years ago. We can see Governor Jelks signing bills at the ancient Capitol fin that ancient time and can hear the rap of Lieutenant-GovernorC Cunning hams gavel as he calls for order in the Senate. We see Senator Powell of Butler rise to move that an amendment be tabled and Senator Hogue of Perry rise to a point of order, Secretary Brandon reads in loud and distinct tones the Capitol i'm provement Dill. while MT. Lusk of Mar shall rises to oppose 1t.

 Montgomery will furnish tis share of visitors to the Mardi Gras Carnivlas in Mobile and New Orleans
 A number of person left last Wednesday morning on the river steamer City of Mobile for Mobile and it is expected that the trains from Montgomery to those cit- ies will carry vast throngs.
 An interesting interpolation during the Mobile Carnival will be the presenta ton of the silver service to the battleship AL for hundreds of people residing in and around Montgomery.
 The presentation Is to be made in the Mobile Theatre, although the battleship will stand out some distance beyond Fort Morgan which Is thirty-three miles down the bay.
 Three Parks for Summer Days. As summer approaches the subject of places of outdoor recreation is being widely discussed. Montgomery will have this summer three delightful parks to which the people may resort in the long hours of the afternoon and evening" the places well out of the whirr and turmoil of the busy city.
 The new park, Pickett Springs, has been made since last summer. This park con- stitutes all that goes to make a place of resort, including pavilions, theatre. baseball grounds, laks, boat and bath houses It Is about three miles out of the city, the means of conveyance being the new car line.
 Oak Park Is one of the prettiest places in the State and Bloemfontaine was pop- ular last summer.
