Railway Improvements.

On account of some delay in the secur- ing of material the work on the Tenth avenue viaduct, which is being built by the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company has been delayed but now that the necessary material has been se- cured the building is being pushed rapidly
 It will only take few days now to get the viaduct in shape for the use of the cars and the traffic will be turned this way as soon as the work can be com- pleted.
 The viaduct is a magnificent structure and will be great convenience to the railway company and the travelling pub lie, obviating tho danger and ineonven- fence of the cars crossing the steam railway tracks at Twelfth avenue as has been the case since the building of the road. There are almost dozen tracks at this point and while no serious ac- cident has been reported there is an ever present danger and the Birmingham Rail way, Light and Power company is anx- ious to abandon the crossing The new viaduct spans all these tracks and will enable the company to make better time with it's cars.
 The viaduct is of steel and will cost, when completed, about $75,000
 Work on the new line from Twelfth ave- nue on Nineteenth street to the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry plant is progressing well and will be completed within d comparatively short time.
 The freight depot at Nineteenth street and rlrst avenue has been completed and work on the passenger depot at the same place is being pushed as rapidly as men and material can be secured.
 The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company is spending about sl50.0O0 in improvements at Bessemer and other extensions and Improvements are being planned for the near future. The people are very much pleased with the work be- ing done in this city by this company. Notes and Personals.

 The trustees also assure the public that the institution will appeal with great force to the business interests of the entire country. With this in view it is claimed that the establishment of enter prise in Alabama will be the first step in the direction of nationalizing the move ment It is also claimed for it that solution will be reached for the vexed question of skilled labor in the south. For this reason the trustees say that they have the highest authority for stating that this institution will be amply en- dowed by many millions of dollars secured ] from manufacturers. business men and | phlanthropists throughout the country. 1 1t Is stated in the bulletin of the trus- i tees that any bank in Alabama is author ! ized to receive subscriptions for this movement. The trustees avow that they 1 have given the undertaking the deepest ! of study and that it will be pushed to success with all the energies of Alabamas s ] best men aiding them
