ASK RELEASE FROM SEWER CONTRACT Contractors in EnSIey Say They Are Losing Money SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING Camp & Go. Are Released and Another Meeting Will Be Held Today to
 Decide on Next Step to
 Be Taken.
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING

Ensley. September 26.--(Special )-The City Council met tonight in special ses- sion to consider the application of Messrs. contract to build the storm sewer along Avenue F and Twenty street. Mayor Sugg was in the chair and Al dermen r. J. Rogers. John Angwin. II. M. Mcdowell. w. r. Palmer, John Morrison, W. J. Brigman, ]. II. Culpepper and G. k. Byrum were present; also R. Boyd city attorney. C. r. Camp, on behalf Of the contractors submitted written ie- port, stating that they had already sus- tained a heavy loss and that to continue the contract under the present. conditions would cause further loss to them, and asked the contract to be annulled. This action on the part of the contractors was not unexpected, as the contractors had at the last meeting of the council stated their inability to continue the work under existing conditions.
 Without discussion the request was granted. to take effect Friday morning at I o'clock. The question of finishing the work was then taken up, and number of contractors were present to submit bids on the unfinished work G. E. Burk- halter, James Malarky and J. D. Suli- van addressed the council, but as no spec ifications of the work as it now stands were available, no bids were made, and the matter was referred to the street com mittee and the Mayor to have specitlca- tions made The council then adjourned until tomorrow at l2 o'clock, when they will meet and consider bids. C. F. Camp. one of the original contractors, made the following statement:
 we were reluctant to give up the con- tract, but we have encountered so many unforeseen difficulties and have sustained such a heavy loss that in justice to our selves and to the city we feel justified in our action. In taking the contract we were assured by a former contractor who mad laid sanitary sewers across Twenty-sef- ond street that there was little or no rock along this street. and on this m formation we based our bid, taking the rock at q very low figure. We however encountered rock every few yards, not solid foundation. but large boulders of hard rock. which was extremely difficult to blast. and which made it impossible to use scoops. Almost the entire work had to be done by pick and shovel In addition to this the city engineer in mak- ing his estimates under his construction of the contract made no allowance Tor excavations over the actual width of the sewer. In other words we were only paid for six-foot excavation for a six-foot sewer. IL is of course impossible to build a sewer without extra width. and 1t is customary on all sewer contracts to allow from six to nine inches extra on each side of the sewer.
 MT. Burllhalter and Mr. Sullivan made the statement before the council: we were not allowed one inch over the actual width of the sewer; this meant a heavy loss to us, especially where We encount-

NORTH BIRMINGHAM
 IS FROM MISSOURI
COMMITTEE IS NAMED WHICH WILL INSIST ON BEING SHOWN HOW FAIRLY THEIR TOWN IS TO BE TREATED.
 =. -.

A greater Birmingham committee has mingham to confer with the citizens of that municipality and other other subur- ban towns which 1t is proposed to annex to Birmingham, in regard to making satisfactory terms with Birmingham. If satisfactory terms cannot be arrived at a campaign is to be instituted against the coming into Birmingham. The committee consists of the eX-mayors of the town and a few other citizens.
 From all indications it appears that public sentiment in North Birmingham is very strongly in favor of coming into Birmingham, while the mayor and board of aldermen are against the proposition. A delegation went to Montgomery during the last session of the legislature and fought the passage of the Greater Br- mingham bill, and no representative from North Birmingham has eyer attended any of the Greater Birmingham meetings, though they were always invited At the meeting yesterday morning there were no representative from North Birming ham( although it was expected that they would attend.
 The ex-inayors on the committee are T. II. Friel, ]. T. Jones' J. l.. Cole and G. E. Mitchell. The other citizens are G. B. Smith. F.. A Brown c. M. Green. George M. Stone, George D. Carns and C. B. Rogers.
