CONNECTIONS MADE
 FOR STEAM HEATING
Many Business Houses Are
 Being Equipped
TO MAINTAIN 70 DEGREES
Consumers With Whom Contract Has Been Made Can Use All the Steam They Desire-Basis
 for Charges.

Numerous connections are now being made by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company to supply business houses with steam heat during the com ing winter Mains have been laid on all the principal business thoroughfares of the city. Exhaust steam will be turned into these mains at the power house of the company and it is estimated that they could easily supply all the business houses in Birmingham with sufficient steam for all heating purposes.
 Numerous questions are asked daily as to how the company will base Its charge for steam heat. The contracts are made for one year and the company will not agree to supply the heat for a less period. The contracts read that the company agrees to heat given building for a cer- tain sum for one year. This sum is divided into six equal payments due on the first of each month during the win ter. If the installment Is paid before the tenth of the month a discount of 10 per cent is allowed.
 Each building supplied must be fgur-
 
 by the number of square feet of space to be heated, with certain allowances made for plate glass When the amount Is agreed upon the company will allow consumers to use all the steam they with. The company agrees to keep build ings at temperature of 70 degrees even in zero weather.
 Where the steam is to be used for other purposes than the heating of rooms such as the heating of pools or tanks of water the charge is made according to the amount of steam consumed. This Is de- termined by a meter which measures the water which results from the condensa- tion of the steam. The condensed steam gathers in small receptacle and is measured by the meter in much the same manner as gas is measured.

NEW FILTER PLANT
 NOW IN OPERATION
NORTH BIRMINGHAM STATION
 SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED AND ALL WATER PUMPED THERE WILL GO THROUGH THE FILTER.

The new filter plant of the Birmingham Water Works company at North Bir- mingham was put into operation yester- day morning for the first time, and in the future all the water pumped from that station will go through the filter.
 sIt j5 impossible to determine the exact point at which the divide in the water supply takes place. but the larger portion of the north side of the city is supplied from the North Birmingham station. The other station of the company is located on Shades mountain, south of the city.
 The filter plant at North Birmingham has been installed at an enormous ex- pense. and it Is of the best design known for the mechanical filtration of water. It has a capacity of 51OO,O0O gallons of per- fectly clear filtered water every twenty four hours.
 Work on the plant on Shades mountain, which is more than double the size of that just finished, Is progressing as rapidly as is possible for an undertaking of such magnitude.

SAYS THE MEASURE

Chairman Greater Birmingham Committee Invites Discussion
WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS
Mayor Drennen, Mir. Beitman, Chair man of Joint Committee of an Expansion Bill, Ready to
 Meet Objections.

Chairman Joseph Beitman of the Greater Birmingham committee of the Commercial club, Board of Trade and mayor and board of aldermen was seen yesterday in reference to the interview in the Age-Herald with T. Y. Prude of East Lake, claiming that the Greater Birmingham bill was premature.
 Mir. Beitman invites committees or rep resentatives from the various suburbs to call on him or Mayor Drennen and talk the matter over. and he states that he feels assured that they will be satisfied that the bill is not premature. He said;
 'In your issue of today I notice that MT. T. Y. Prude of East Lake considers the Greater Birmingham bill premature and that East Lake, Woodlawn, North Birmingham and West End would oppose it when introduced at the next session of the legislature. As West End is not in cluded in the bill they are not directly interested
 "If the committee representing the above suburbs will either call upon me or Mayor Drennen, who I appointed chairman of the subcommittee to draw up the bill then they will find that am pie provision has been made to give them time to clean up.'
 'I had the pleasure of meeting Mayor John B. Burris of Woodlawn few days ago and found him liberal in his views and as our interests are mutual and we do not aim to take snap judgment. feel confident that the representatives of the other municipalities can and will be sat- isfied."

The man made his escape, and as he ran away Mrs. Moses shot at him several times with a revolver. The burglars neck was evidently badly torn by the dog, as there was plenty of blood on the ground to show where the animal tore the mans flesh. It required fully five minutes for the burglar to get away from the dog.
 The animals injuries consisted of a large bump over her eye and three teeth broken off.
