PLANTS BREAK RECORDS

Ensley, March 25-(Special.) )-The present good weather conditions are enabling the construction work now in progress at several of Ensley's largest plants to be pushed rapidly. The build ing of the new open-hearth furnace at the steel plant Is progressing most satisfactorily.
 The completion of No. 6 furnace, which has been in course of construc- tion some months, will in all probabil- ity be delayed by small fire which occurred in the engine room one day during the past week.
 This month promises to be a record breaker with all of the Ensley indus tries. Every indication is that the out put of the steel plant will go far in excess of last Novembers record, when over 21 ,000 tons of steel were rolled out.
 The five furnaces have been in con- tinuous operation this month, and everything points to an output of the furnaces smashing all records.
 The building boom which was com menced early in the spring continues unabated. In addition to the many residences already under construction preparations are being made to build several more during the next few weeks.
 c. F. Camp has begun work on his new two-story brick building to be erected on the lot adjoining the city hall on Avenue E.
