The Commit tee will obtain data for the formulation of a report to the Council, which will, in tho opinion of some more or less famii- lar with tho subject. have as It's ulti- mate result the installation of a paid fire department.
 No decisions have as yet been reached. but 1t is understood that the immediate purchase of 1500 feet of new hose will be favorably reported to the Council.
 A minute examination of the condition of the department will be had. 1t is stat ed, and it's ameiioration be at once in. stituted. The volunteer system Is said to possess various faults, not. the least or which is the laxfty of its discipline.

W. of A. Again changes schedule.

The Western Railway of Alabama. through its contracting agent. D. P. O'Rourke, and its passenger agent, L.. c. Harrison, has given notice that It's passenger train No. 36. from Selma to Montgomery, will again depart at p. m. instead of at 4:30 D. m. as at present. The new schedule is effective at midnight to- day and No. 36 will leave tomorrow af- ternoon at o'clock.
 It is understood the reversion to the old schedule Is resultant from the inter mittence with which freight No. 209 from Montgomery to Selma Is now operated. Because of light traffic No. 2O9 is an- nulled every now and then and Is prac- tically tri-weekly. On the days 1t is not treated to a trip to Selma It's re- turn business is handled by No. 36 which will therefore require an extra half hour of running time to keep its engagements in Montgomery.
