MUCH IMPROVEMENT
 OF CITY'S STREETS
.ENSLEY HoRoUGHFARES ARE BEING PUT IN EXCELLENT CON- DITloN-CITY IS PROSPEROUS. GENERAL AND PERSONAL.

Ensley, August 1.-(Special) )-Through the efforts of Mayor Scott and the street committee of the city council, Avenue Is to be opened through to Eighteenth street. The street force will commence work at once and the council will short ly take up the question of laying concrete sidewalks or the new avenue.
 For sometime the council has been en- deavoring to have Avenue I opened from one end of the city to the other. This afternoon the trade was completed with the last property owner who has been holding out for quite a time. Much of the credit for carrying out the plan Is due to the Ensley Land company that has granted the city the right of way through it's property
 The present mayor and aldermen have done much work and improvement on the streets of the city. Nearly all of the side walks are now made of concrete and con- tracts are constantly being let for other Improvements. The street force is work ing regularly this summer getting most of the grading and Improvements com pleted before winter sets in.
 From the present indications the East Lake and Ensley trunk sewer will be completed by the first of September and Ensley will connect it's new sanitary sew , craze with 1t.

Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City Rail- road company-"The New Way"

The undeveloped resources along the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City rail- road are perhaps superior to those of any other railroad In the south; the timber is practically inexhaustible, consisting of inc highest grades of long yellow leaf nine. short leaf pine and a variety of hardwoods. The line also traverses one of the finest farming and agricultural sec- tions to be found in the south. Cores nondence is solicited from those contt m- plating the location of any kind of man. ufacturing enterprise or who may be prospecting for superior field for the purpose of tilling the soil. In addition to inc merits of this section for the products of the soil which are staple. we would call especial attention to the peculiar ad- vantages which obtain in favor of fruit and vegetable raising, splendid transpor- tation facilities to the best markets at reasonable cost.

BUSY SESSION IS
 BEFORE COUNCIL The Bessemer SoIons Will Have
 Meeting Tonight
TWO VERY LIVE QUESTIONS
Is Probable That Stock Law Will Be Passed and That Waterworks Matter VIII Be Settled.
 Other News.

Bessemer, August 1.-(Special)-The mayor and aldermen will meet tomorrow night in what promises to be one of the most interesting sessions of the year The main question that will probably come before the board are the water works matter and the consideration Of an ordinance prohibiting the running Of stock at large. From all indications a number of citizens will be present.
 According to a decision handed down by the supreme court last month, 1t Is up to- the council to regulate the running at large of stock in the city limits or Bessemer. For some time the stock ques- ton has been a bone of contention in the council. A few months ago a. number of the city merchants petitioned the board to pass a stock law ordinance. The re- quest was denied. Later the merchants ln- stituted proceedings in the Bessemer cltS court to force the council to pass stocK ordinance. Judge Jones decided in 1aVor of the merchants. The case was appealed to the supreme court and the decision or Judge Jones was confirmed 50 thls throws the matter back on the mayor and aldermen
 The water question has also been hang ing fire" for several weeks. Last spring the water works committee held a con ference with Morris Adler of the Besse- mer aWterworks company and plan was agreed upon whereby the water supply should be gotten from Hawkins spring one of the largest springs in the olstrlct' The council, after discussing the matter for several sessions, failed to ratify the contract. Several executive sessions were held but as to what is the opinion or the board in regard to the Adler propo- siton has not yet been given out.
 Ii is rumored that some definite step will be taken tomorrow night. plan that is meeting with some favor Is the issuing of bonds by the city with which to build a waterworks plant of its own. A mum Der of citizens are said to favor this plan and it Is probable that the council will take some action looking towards muni- cipal ownership of the waterworks.

Monument to Father o'ReiIIy

TO the Editor of The Age-HeraId.
 Father O'Reilly has builded his own monument in Birmingham. The great St. yincent's hospital stands as a perpetual memorial of his unselfish labors for those who suffer and are distressed, but II seems fitting that a great rough granite stone with only its opex and two panels polished should be placed over the spot where his remains lie buried.
 This monument should be built by small subscriptions from his thousands of friends, and I hope a fund will be sub scribed. I will be glad to contribute. and you can put me down for such amount as you deem proper not exceeding s25 for the purpose ALEX T. LONDON.
