BOND ISSUE BIDS
 FAIR TO BE PASSED
ADVOCATES POINT OUT THAT IT WILL MEAN MUCH FOR SANTA TON AND IS BADLY NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE SYSTEM.

"The greatest move of the year." $ the general comment which is being passed on the call for a bond issue to build sanitary and storm sewers in Bir- mingham. It means improvement in health, and will go far toward the re- lief of the epidemics which strike Bir- mingham at times.
 It will be remembered that City En- gneer Kendrick thought last summer that the typhoid fever was due to the lack of sanitary sewers. Birmingham has a good system begun, but it is in complete. The town has outgrown t. and 1t will take a bond issue such as this to put a system here that will rival any in the south, and be an adver- tisement such as the trunk line is to Jefferson county.
 The $500,000 also means that much needed storm sewers will be erected so that the avenues from Sixth to Eighth on the north side may be paved.
 The move bids fair to be a popular one and when the people vote on May 5. it is believed that the unanimous ballot will be for the bond issue Every thing is prepared, and about the last of April the Mayor will announce the poll managers. It is pointed out that if it carries, 1t means that Birming ham will be sanitary for 50 years to <ona

MORE LATITUDE
 IN BUILDINGS
Railroads Can Now Use Wood In Building, Under Certain
 Conditions.

The strict rules which have prevented railroad companies from building freight houses, and frame buildings from being repaired when located near the center of the city, have been changed by the ordi- nance passed Wednesday night. In the outer fire section the building inspector is given much more latitude. Here are the important changes effected by the ordinance:
 That where any roof in the fire dis tract is damaged so as to be repaired, that if as much as 10 per cent has to be made new the whole roof shall be re- placed with freproof material.
 That, in fire district No. ?, wooden dwellings already permitted and now maintained within, may be improved by wooden additions. not exceeding one- fourth their present floor area. whenever the building inspector shall, upon care- ful inspection of said building, find them to be in good condition. and that the same may be allowed without materially increasing the danger from fire and such additions as are otherwise unobjection- able, but in no case will any roof be allowed or repairs to any roof that is damaged more than 10 per cent without the same be of fireproof material
 Outside the fire limits when any brick, stone or concrete building is to be erected of a class that could under the building laws be constructed of wood. the build ing inspector is hereby authorized and instructed to allow reasonable modifica- tion of the building laws relating to such building in consideration of incumbustible material being used for walls instead of uood
