Ensley, November 23-(Special.) )-The street committee of the city council of Ensley met yesterday afternoon and in body made an inspection of the street and sidewalk improvements that are being made in various sections of the city.
 The committee was headed by Mayor N. W. Scott, who has been devoting a great deal of his time and attention to the Improvements under way
 The committee was well pleased with the progress of the work and also with i the quality of the improvements that are being made in all quarters.
 An immense amount of work is being done just now on almost all the principal streets and avenues of the city and the quality is superior to any that has been done for several years. Everything that is being done has an air of permanency that is very pleasing to the people and speaks we'll for the administration.

 Many of tre sidewalks in the city are being paved with cement which Is greatly improving conditions in that respect Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets are being put in fine condition in the business portion of the city by two large forces of worlmen These streets will be treated with the crushed limestone as soon as the grading now being done is completed Avenue H is being greatly improved The roadway fig being graded and cement sidewalks are being built.
