ENSLEY'S SEWER Is TRIUMPH OF SKILL City Will Save Money By Doing
 Its Own Work WORK AT THE STEEL MILL One Hundred Tons of Soft Steel Rolled at Blooming MilI-Personal and
 General News of
 EnsIey.
AT THE STEEL MILL

Ensley, June 13.-(Special)-Th news of the satisfactory progress be- ing made on the construction of tho sanitary sewer in the Fifth ward, no doubt, will be received with Interest and relief by the people living in the territory to be drained thereby. But for certain natural causes, such as the fact that 8 large portion of the prop erty which it was desired to drain, IS lower than the county trunk sewer. with which connection must be made this much needed improvement would have been undertaken and complete1 immediately after the issue and sale of the bonds auth orized by the people for that purpose.
 It required a great deal of time. study and work to evolve a plan by which these natural difficulties could be overcome, and for the final result obtained great credit Is due City En- gineer Van Ohl and the valuable as- sistances rendered him by MT. Julian Kendrick, engineer for the Jefferson County Sanitary commission. Mir. Ohl found it necessary to go over the ter ritary involved several times and make a number of surveys before he finally solved the problem, and that the proper solution has been reached will no doubt be demonstrated when the system Is completed and put into service, in about 90 days from the present time.
 The entire sewer will be composed of 2O-inch pipe, connecting with the coun ty trunk sewer at Avenue F and Elev- enth street, frome which point the s)ys- tenn will extend to Avenue K or l., thence through Averyt, Burgin Place, Palmer Terrace, Ensley Highlands and Tuxedo. City Engineer Ohl is person. ally experimenting the laying of the sewer and Mayor Sugg is also giving much of his time to the work. In tn is manner the sanitary committee of the city council, composed of Mayor Sugg and Aldermen Mcdowell, Angwin and Byrum, calculated that the city could do the work much better and Dtore cheaply than by having the same done by a contractor or otherwise and the results obtained so far have justified their course. It is estimated that the system, when completed, will cost about $21,000 which is about one-third less than contract price.
