 Notes and Personals.

Ensley, October 4.-(Special)-The meet ing of the Board of Aldermen was called to order by Mayor N. W. Scott at 8 o'clock tonight. A quorum was presen. and several citizens came to make com plaints and request privileges
 This being the first meeting in the month the reports of all committees were read and adopted. The officers also made their monthly statements which showed a good standing in city affairs. There were 174 arrests made by the policemen of which IA were convicted.
 The matter of street crossings was taken up and finally referred to the street committee with power to act. Mayor Scott stated that he had written to pro cure prices on curb stones which can be placed across the streets in pairs, thus making a dry and durable walk. These are used in other cities to good effect and are said to wear much better ;nan brick. They will probably be laid before the month is out. Concrete slag will be used in the residence section.
 Alderman Brigman called attention to the fact that the street cars always stop on the near side of the streets thus fore ing the passengers to alight in the faud. It was first suggested that the Birming- ham Railway Light and Power company be asked to have cars stop on the far side but this was finally changed to request that the motormen be instruct ed to use their best judgment, and d. ways stop where the mud can be avoided A complaint of the citizens on Avenue against the condition of the sidewalks and road of that avenue was referred to the street commissioner with instructions to remedy the trouble at once. There was nothing else of importance to come up and the council adjourned at o'clock.
