NEW COURT HOUSE
 IS ABSORBING TOPIC
ITS LOCATION BY COMMISSIONER IS MATTER OF SPECULATION AND MANY RUMoRS ARE AFLOAT.

Tuscaloosa, January 7.-(Special) 1.-The all absorbing topic of conversation still, is in the way of -eculation as to where the commissioners will locate the new court house. There was rumor anoat that theyr had settled on the lots ad1oin- ing the Baptist church property, but this was later denied by the information that the board had adjourned their meeting without action in this regard until tues day. Several new places have ioomeo up as possible locations, notable among thehl heinz the middle of Greensboro avenue, just as that street turns slightly and extends down the river hill. The plan sueeested is to put the court house on this slight eminence and grade roads on each side of the building The people from Northport are especially urging thls nlan. In many respects. though rather novel location, this place would nave advantages over others suggested. Noth- ing however, is likely to be decided definitely in the matter before the end of the week.
