mitted to the people for consideration.
Those who are behind the movement
are enthusiastic over the proposition
and earnestly believe it will present a
solution of the paving difficulties do
away with the demoralizing battles
between the paving companies and re-
move all cause for tampering with
city officials by the professional lob
byists
At a rough estimate, without at this
time being able to present detailed and
accurate figures. it is believed the city
can lay the best pavement such as is
on Main street at a cost not to ex-
ceed $40 a yard-and later estimates
may be lower.
One necessary primary cost would
be through the purchase of a paving
plant, which it is estimated, may be
bought for $1,000. This would be a
permanent investment and would rep
resent a far greater value to the city
than the purchase of an $4,000 gar
bage incineratOr.

WORK OF CHURCHES
ALL APPROXIMATIONS ARE BUSY
 MAKING IMI MOVEMENTS.
0orf 1nterest is Being Shown and Mentg0mery Seems to Be on
 Crest of a Moral

Cnurch workers, pastors and lay men are enthusiastic in regard to the work which is being done in Mont gomery, the State and all over the 0outhiand.
 Every church in Montgomery, of ev- cry denomination is doing work which tends to the moral betterment of the communfty, and the work is growing to remarkable proportions. The sums Of money which are annually given 10 charities, missions, both home and foreign, and the incidental expenses of the parishes. are increasing very mo- ttceably. A short while ago the Bap- l ttsts of the State reported that their collections for home and foreign mis- Dfons were greatly in advance of those Tor the preceding year.
 In addition to this sort of work nearly every church in Montgomery is nnaking great strides in the prosaic otde Of the work, such as beautifying the houses of worship both inside .and cutside. purchasing new organs. im- provfn9 the parsonages and the like. The new First Baptist Church, which a being erected on the corner of Per ry and Scott Street, will be one of the Abandonment buildings of this character in the South and an ornament to any city.
 The inside of St.. Johns Church has been greatly improved by enlarging the chancal and ma king a new ent rance to the chapel and Sunday School rooms.
 The Court Street Methodist Church . has built a new annex to the church which adds greatly to the beauty and !convenience of the edifice. They have also remodeled the parsonage and re- Furnished it, and are trying to raise
 money for a fine pipe organ. The First Presbyterian Church has recently purchased a magnificent new organ, and Temple Beth Or has given the contract to a Louisville firm for . $4.000 organ.
 The cong:eg ttion of the Highland Avenue Baptist Church has selected plans for the erection of new church and the work of building will soon begin.
 The Y. M c. A. has recently com pleted its fine new building and is do- ing a great work among the young
 men and boys of the city. All these Improvements show the interest in church work which is be- coming so apparent in Montgomery and which seems to be increasing steadily. MT. G. G. Miles's plan for the erection of a tabernacle in the city, where all conventions may be held is one which if adopted will materially add to the impetus already given, to this work and will be a great thing for the City in a commercial way.
