With the promulgation of tenta- tive program for the celebration of Thomas Jefferson's birthday. Alabama is to be the first State in the Union to celebrate the natal day of the great statesman, as legal holiday.

 After the adoption of the bill and it's approval by the Governor and subse- auent incorporation into the State code, the matter was almost forgotten by State officials.

COMPLETING WORK DAMAGE TO STEAM sHOvEI, NOT RETARDING STORM SEWER. Steel Scoops Drawn by . Chain and Worked by Stationary Engine
 New Doing Worlk of
 the Shovel.

The wreck by fire of the steam shovel of the Byron Souders Co, laying the storm sewer on North Court Street, has hardly retarded the work, and the job will be completed on schedule time. The sewer runs from the city limits to the big gully by the city water works plant. distance of a little more than a mile
 Since the shovel was put out of com- mission steel scoops. drawn by a chain and worked from a stationary engine, have been used and the loss of the work of the shovel has not been felt. especially as the work was started at the steep end by the gully where the sewer was put down at q depth of twenty-five feet. From the outlet 1t gradually rises to the surface end at the city limits and as all the deep work has been done the shovel is no longer necessary.
 As the ditch was made the concrete sewer was laid and the earth filled in, so that now with 4.700 feet of the dist ance made the rest will be compara- lively easy. The sewer will be com pleted by the first week of next month, but before then the paving of the street, the contract for which was also awarded the Byron Souders Co.,. will be started. Granite blocks will be used for the surface of the roadway because of the incessant and very heavy trafie to which the way Is sub Jected.
 The street lies through the heart of the manufacturing district and is used for hauling materials to the boiler works. the fertilizer factories, the rail- road machine shops and also Is an av- enue for cotton coming Into the city. Because of this the strong surfacing was selected oy the City Council.
 The completion of the sewer and street will mean Q new life for the northern section of the city, well drained, it will be far more healthful than heretofore, for the land ib low there and water used to collect in many places. The branch drains from the main line will abolish this drawback to the section, and the result of the improvement. 1t is thought. will be felt as soon as the drain is In working or
