ACTIVE WORK BEGUN
TRACTION COMPANY BUSY LAYING
 NEW RAILS.
Many InproVements Are Contemplated, The Matter of Concrete Bridge on
 Madison Avenue Again Be-
 coming Live Subject. .

Besides the laying of new rails on Dexter Avenue and in several parts Of the city where they are sorely needed. the street car company, under Its new management is contemplating several other Improvements. Tho matter of the re-inf0rced concrete bridge on Madi- son Avenue just beyond the car sheds, Will again become a live topic. and 1t Is believed the bridge will be built and finished before spring.
 The chief improvement the company is contemplating is the extension of the present Lawrence Street line division. carrying 1t from East Jeff Davis Ave. nue on Lawrence Street, to Finley. west on FinIeyto Perry. cutting through the Cliaby property from Perry to Court, a 6O-foot- t-wideSfight-of-way. afterward to becomea city street. and thence on out Court Street and. on along Fielder.
 Before thisawork can be done, several gontiemcn will have to be consulted. These gentiemen have a tot of say so in such matters. They are commonly called the members of the City Coun- Gil. and are knon, at times to have weird and peculiar ideas on some salh- jects. If they approve. and the own CTS of the Cfisby property are willing to fix suitable price on the right-of- way. the work will be done; that ls. if ae4gA8 carried out.
 One question the new concern has set- tied permanently. There will be no belt line. "Too much ride for five cents" is the consensus of opinion of the many companies. that have tried the scheme.
 The. entire line of the company is be- ing inspected by experts. and many renovatfons are expected. The cross ing at High and Decatur Streets will be attended to very soon. and as In the case of Dexter Avenue. the company believes 1t cheaper in the long run to keep seryiceable rails for the cars, than to trust to luck with worn ones that the cars are liable to jump at the slightest provocation. .
 With an eye to suburabn deyoiop- ment. possible lines through the rapidly growing communities about the city are being spoken of. and the company seems to be taking into consideration the slogan: "1OO, 900 in 1910" for Mont gomeFy.

 The Conference adjourned at 12 o'clock, noon.
 Among the many prominent pastors present at this session of Conference Is the Rev. George l.. Jenkins of Tus- caloosa. who was stationed at the church in New Decatur where this ses- sion of the Conference Is being held, for some time prior to the past year. Dr. Jenkins did much for the New De- catur church and he Is pleasantly re-. membered here by many church mem bers of his former charge.
 The indications are that the Confer i. eiee will be redistricte5, but just what these changes will be cannot be told at thls time.
 The Rev J~A. U. Brock will no doubt be returned to the Central Meth odjst Church th New Decatur and the Rev, .J.eS. Robinson will also. no doubt, be returned to the First Church In Decatur. Both of these pastors have been here only one year and they are both universally popular with their membership and the citizens of the De- caturs in general. The Rev. George E. Boyd, Presiding Elder of this District. has been holding this position for the past four years and. according to the custom of the church. he will likely be given another charge.
