Instead of erecting a tent as teni- rcrary place of worship on the lot purchased for a church on Highland Avenue by the congregation of the Highland Avenue Baptist Church. the Sunday school room of the church will be built as soon as is practicable. and utilized for all purposes of worship un- til the church can be built.
 A tent was ordered by the congrega- tion of the Highland Avenue Baptist Church some weeks ago and when re- ceived at Montgomery 1t was found to Dc of the wrong dimensions and was returned to the factory
 Some delay was caused in the ship rent of the second tent and in the meantime a congregational meeting was held at which 1t was decided that the idea of the tent should be aban- doned and instead of erecting tenn rcrary structure. the energies of the ocngreeation would be directed to the building Of the permanent Sunday school room of the church.
 The work on the building is expect ed to be started soon.

s@@-@-
 Tn answer to a communication from Mayor Teague. General Manager R. J. Chambers of the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company yesterday ex- plained the delay his company has ex- perieneed in providing Highland Park with gas.

 Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 24, 1906. Hon. W. NJ. Teague. Mayor, Montgom-
 cry, Ala
 Dear Sir:--Your communication rel ative to extension of gas mains into Highland Park received.
 For your information. as well as that of the City Council, wish to state that this company gave me instructions in May or June to buy the pipe and make the necessary extensions so as to furn- ish the citizens of Highland Park with gas. The pipe was bought, though the manufacturers would not promise deliv- cry under five or siv months time. wrote the pipe people on the 22nd of this month asking them when they could commence shipment of our or der, and from the attached telegram from the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Company, you will note that they cannot commence shipment oi fcur-inch pipe before November. nor can they commence shipment of six inch pipe before December.
 Immediately upon receipt of this telegram wired the Dimmick Pipe Company of Birmingham, asking them for prices and earliest date of ship ment they could make on certain quantity of pipe. and you will note from their attached telegram that they will not make promise to ship unfer ninety days.
 For your consideration I give you 6 statement of this main extension ant would be pleased to have you give II careful consideration from an invest ment standpoint.
