SHACKS ARE AN EYESORE

Ensley Public Schools, VIII Return

This Week.

Ensley, August 5.-(special. august
Fayette is preparing to erect several
brick business houses on Nineteenth street
near Avenue B, and it Is hoped to have
some of the buildings ready for occu-
paney by October l.
1t is understood that several of the old
wooden shacks on Nineteenth, out in the
direction of the steel plant, are to be
torn away and replaced with respectable
buildings in the near future. Most Of
these structures were built in the early
days of Ensley and were hastily construct
ed for temporary use. They are an eye
sore to the town and present a very bad
appearance
Since most Of the visitors who come to
Ensley go out this street in looking over
the city it is pointed out that these build
ings create a very bad impression of the
preogressiveness of the place.
All saloons have been removed from this
street beyond Avenue C. which has great
ly improved conditions in this section and
now 1t is argued that If suitable and COM
modious buildings are erected that more
of the respectable business of the city
will be located out on that street
The buildings to be erected by Mr. Fay
cite will be a move in that direction that
will possibly inspire other efforts of a
like nature.
other Buildings.
The business house being erected by ].
f. Lange on Avenue e Is nearing compile
tion and will possibly be ready for oe-
eupancy in thirty days. Mr.. LANCE will
move his grocery store in to the new
building while the second story will be
fitted up for offices. This will be one of
the handsomest and most substantial
business houses in the city.
The two-story brick being built by
Charles Rouss on Seventeenth street is
also about completed.
It is said that plans are now being
drawn for several other large and impor-
tant buildings in different sections of the
city.
