ever. looked forward in a general way to what the additional territory of Greater Montgomery will demand from his depart ment
 The improvements and extensloons of the city water works system, as roughly estimated by MT. Cain will cost $2O0.000.
 We will have to lay S71k miles of addi- tional piping" said Mir. Cain yesterday. "It will take this much piping to furnish the water in the streets of the suburbs where they are demanded. The piping should be of sufficient size to furnish water for the suburbs for years to come no matter how rapidly they grow.
 "The cost of the material and laying of this piping, with the necessary hydrants will be $l50,0O0. We think two stand pipes will be necessary, one at Highland Park and one in the western portion of the city. These two stand pipes can be erected for $25,O0O. A new 5,000,O00 gallon pump is needed at the pumping station and. this will cost 900. The total cost of the proposed Improvements demanded by Greater Montgomery, so far as the water works department Is concerned will cost $2OO,O 900.
 ''The bonds for the water works i'm provement will cost the city nothing. The returns from the sale of water will more than pay the interest on the bonds''

Superintendent Cain OF City Water Works Estimates It Will Cost $20O,O0O and Will Be
 Good Investment.

Thirty-seven and half miles of piping will be required for the extension of the water mains of the city in the annexed territory.
 Two more stand pipes will be necessary for the storage of the additional water. A new 5.0O0,OOO gallon pump to keep the stand pipes and the water mains full will be needed at the city pumping sta ton.
 These Improvements, it is figured by McD. Cain. city superintendent of Water Works. will come under the proceeds of the proposed bond issue by the city. MT.

Other Man,

mass meeting of the citizens of
Highland Park has been called for
Monday night next at which a candi-
date for Alderman from that end of
Ward will probably be selected
On the same night the Central Coun-
Gil will meet to arrange further de-
tails of the Ward primary. The Gem
tral Council has already requested that
names for aldermanic candidates be
handed in on that night. 1t Is proba-
BILE that the time for the mass meeting
or the time for the meeting of the
Central Council will be changed. At
present however. there is a conflict
between the two.
or fGdr well known citizens of High
ldhd Park who are not averse TO oc-
cupying a seat In the Montgomery
City Council. At present, however "
w. l.. Thompson is the only avowed
candidate from that end OF the ward
He has made formal announcement
of his candidacy
The proposition that one of the AL
dermen from the new ward should
come from Highland Park and one
from Cloverdale seems TO be agreeable
all voters of the ward. The Cloverdale
end has no other candidate than j. Lee
Holloway. Mr.. Holloway will get the

MORE ROOM IS NEEDED MASS MEETING AT PARK
CHANGES TO BE MADE AT STATE
CAPITOL.
New Supreme Court Justice VIII Use
Room of Railroad Commission
which VIII BE Moved to
Third Floor.

Several important changes in the
location of offices in the State Capitol
will be made in the near future The
changes are made necessary by the
addition of two new members to The
Supreme Court of Alabama
ONCE room and consulting room for
the new Justices will have to be pro-
vided and they will have to be pro-
vided closely adjacent to the consul
ting rooms of the present Justices of
the Supreme Court,
Governor Cunningham and Private
Secretary j. Kirk Jackson who is also
Custodian of the Capitol yesterday
made a tour of the building in plann
ing the changes.
IT has been decided to give the new
Justices consulting rooms where the
present quarters of the Alabama Rail-
road Commission are located on the
second floor of the Capitol. The par
tition between the present quarters of
the Commission and the rooms of the
Supreme Court will be torn away and
an increase made for the Justices.
The office of the Railroad Commits
sion will be moved to the third floor
of the Capitol. The Commission will
probably use the room occupied by the
Adiutant General. The Adjutant Cen
room which Is now used as a storage
place for the tags Of the Agricultural
Department.
The Capitol Is rapidly becoming,
too crowded. The building which was
adequate for the State government of
fifty years ago is too small for the
government of Alabama Of today.
very few If any of the State Depart
ments have adequate quarters The
state oficials will hail with gladness
the beginning of work on the addi-
ton.

CUBAN SENATE MEETS.
For Eirs& Time In Several Weeks n
Quorum Present.


Havana, August For the first
time in several weeks there was a
quorum of the Seante today and a res
olution was passed declaring thu cht
constitution required the presence of a
two thirds majority in each house of
congress only at the opening of the
periodic session instead Of a two
thirds mapOTty of tho daily sittings Of
congress as heretofore considered ne
cessary. The radical Senators did not
vote.
The moderates in the House of Repre-
sentatives following tho establishment
of this precedent by the Senate can
now secure quorum without the aid
of the opposition. thus giving them
control of the House.
The securing Of quorum of each
house will enable President Palma to
send to Congress his long delayed mes
sage with reference to the additional
loan. the distribution Of the veterans
pay, the resumption by the government
of the work of sanitation of cities and
other matters of Importance The ac-
tion of the Senate today was not suc-
gested by President Palma. who has

ton in party difrences and Congress
