Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Dec. l9. The Commercial and Industrial As- sociation will meet to, morrow night aad among other important matters, q reroIt, will be made by Messrs Pea cock and Melvin. the special commit tee sent to Washington relative to the Alabama River improvement.
 While the Alabama delegation in Congress rendered all assistance pos sihlc fer the committee to lay their clains before the subcommittee of the Rivers and Harbors Committee, it Is Tot Believed that an appropriation will be mace during the short session of Congress. --... ,..
 The bill introduced by Congressman Bankhead a few days ago to make new federal judicial districts in this State. has lessened the hope for a federal court for Selma, and the ques- tion will most probably come up be- fore the Commercial and industrial As sociation tomorrow night.
 At the Associations last meeting a special committee was appointed to communicate with Congressman Bowie to see if the plans for the new federal building could be held up until 1t could be aScertalned if the IeQerai court could be located here. If 1t had been possible to do so, an increase of $75, ,00C would have been asked for the federal building here.

 Eufaula, Dec. ly.-((Speciai)-rh work of rebuilding the lately burned Hart's block has virtually commenced In the removal of the brick and debris which has now been going. on for the last week or ten days. As soon as this work IS completed the work of re- construction will immediately begin.
 The plans had not been entirely deci- ded upon further than that the build ings would be two stories high and would be more modern and up to date, The matter of an opera house on the ground floor in the center of the block, MT.

The old hall in the center of block will be rebuilt, but on a smaller scale in the event the opera house Idea is given out. large force of hands are at work every day in clearing up and 1t will net be a great while before things will be in shape to begin building.

SOLUTION BY MR. KOHN
ALDERMAN PRESENTED AN ORDI-
 NANCE ON GAMBLING.
Measure Seeks to Give More Power to Police and at Same Time to Protect Homes of
 Citizens.

Alderman John P. Kohn came for ward last night at the meeting of the City Council with a suggested solution of the vexed gambling question.
 The ordinance containing Mir. Kohn's solution runs along the lines of the Roemer ordinance which is now in the A1ands- of the Judiciary Committee of the Council, except that 1t provides that the police in entering dwelling house regularly used as such, shall first secure a warrant.
 The introduction of Alderman Kohn's resolution was the only appearance of the gambling issue on the placid wa ters of the Council Chamber. Alder man Jackson was not present and the Judiciary Committee did not report upon the Roemer ordinance repeating the Jackson ordinance, The friends of the Roemer measure, in the absence og MT. Jackson. did not attempt to force a report from the committee.
 The Kohn ordinance, amending the City Code in reference to gambling, is in full, with the exception of the enact ing clause, as follows:
 Any person who plays at any game of chance or hazard for money or any other valuable thing. or who, in any way aids, abets, conferences or en- courages such game, must, on convic- tion. be fined not less than one nor more than one hundred dollars. Provided no patrolman, policeman or police of ficer shall, in enforcing this ordinance have the right to enter any building used exclusively and solely as private dwelling house. unless to execute q properly issued warrant"
 The ordinance went to the Judiciary Committee.

terms of the waterworks Committee or the City Council used In describing the proposition to operate the waterworks system of the city of Montgomery with electricity instead or with steam.
 The terms are used in a report made at last nights meeting of the Council on the resolution introduced by Alder man Kohn some weeks ago. and which directed the Waterworks Committee to investigate the subject.
 The committee reported rather ex- haustively upon the resolution. show inS that 1t had gone deep into the matt ter. The committee found every reason why the change should not be made and no reason why it should be made.
 Alderman Lobman made a special trip to Atlanta to confer with the of fcials of the Southeastern Tariff Asso- ciation and ascertain what effect such a change would have upon the insur- ance rates of Montgomery. He found that rates would be instantly raised. | In fact it was intimated to him that l the Association would immediately withdraw insurance from Montgomery, unless :he power was furnished in ac- | cordance with their plans and specifi- | cations, matters which were set forth | in the report and which called for a considerable expenditure.
 The commute could not md any city in the United States whose waterworks
 plant was completely operated by elec- tricity.
 Moreover, the committee found that it would be necessary to purchase a brand new compressor and pump for the electricity. The committee found that 1t would be necessary, in case eiec- tricity was installed. to maintain both the steam and the electrical machinery so that the steam could be used in case the electricity broke down.
 The Montgomery Light and Water Power Company which made the origi- nal proposition for the installation of the electrical apparatus proposed to the committee to furnish the power at one- third less than the waterworks pump- ing station was now costing the city. The committee reported that this say Ing would be partially offset by the fact that steam machinery would have to be maintained and the light com pany wanted to shut off the power dur ing the heaviest drains which are be- tween o'clock in the afternoon and o'clock at night
 The committee found that the pre- sent arrangement of the waterworks station was not an economical one. but that with the installation of new ma- chinery conditions would be greatly improved.
 At the suggestion of Alderman Kohn the report went over until some future meeting of the Council

 late Dis0rderIy Houses.
 Alderman James J. Sullivan last night announced in the City Council that 1t was his purpose to present at the next meeting of the Council a plan and an ordinance for the placing of all houses of ill-fame in one district.
 The Alderman from Ward told his fellow Aldermen that he had been giv- ing considerable time and thought to formulating a plan whereby the houses could be removed from nearly every section of the city and placed in one locality. The City Attorney, at his re- quest, was investigating the legal as- poets of the question, and he hoped that the plan and the ordinance would be ready to submit to the Council at its next meeting. If there was a delay however, 1t would be only a temporary delay. Alderman Sullivan declared | it was his purpose to push this re- form.
 He intimated that he was considering licensing and the better regulation of house of this character by the police. The question of licensing these places was a serious one. he said, and the law bearing upon 1t had to be investigated before the ordinance was prepared. | The advantages that would come to l the city by moving these houses to a | distinct locality and away from resi- dence portions of the city, where some of them are now located. he said, would be discussed when the matter came be- | fore the Council for action. l This statement of MT. Sullivan was made while the Council was consider ing a resolution of Alderman Thomp- son, which revoked the city license of l Caledonia Scott, a woman living on | Hall Street, to sell spirituous liquors City Attorney Rushtou had in a report to the Council informed the Aldermen that at n recent hearing before the Re- corder evidence was brought out that the woman was maintaining a disrep- utabla house.
 Later in the meeting MT. Thompson introduced a resolution revoking the city license of the Scott woman for the sale of liquors. The resolution was passed by the Council.
