$5O,OOO IN BONDS SHIPPED
AAwRENcE STREET ISSUE ON WAY
 TO PuRCHAsER.
Money in Exchange wMl Prsbabty Reach City Monday--Counc1l in Meetfa1g Menday Might
 Will Settle MatteR.

The transaction involving the sale and delivery of the 35o.00o issue of Lawrence Street improvement bonds, is closed so far as the city of Mont gomery is concerned. and the next step will be to receive and deposit the money involved to the credit of the city. The bonds were forwarded Thursday afternoon to the purchasers, a draft for S5c,000 attached.
 The proceeds of the sale of the bonzs will be in the hands of the city of Montgomery not later than next Mor- day, it is believed.
 A letter WAS received from the firm Thursday morning informing the ofi- cials of Montgomery of the readiness of the purchasers to accept the bonds and no time was lost in placing them in the hands of the express company for delivery. @
 The purchasers pay the par value of the bonds with added accrued interest from November l. The sale or these bonds makes 1t now possible for the city of Montgomery to actually exc cute contracts with the several firms who have gone ahead with the work on Lawrence Street trusting to the faith of the Mayor and Aldermen to accept their bids when the money was actually in hand.
 The awarding and execution of the paving contract for the work already done will be part of the business to come before the Council when it meets January 2 next.

 Third Possessor Sues
 For Release.

Judge Armistead Brown. sitting in the City Court in Equity Thursday. heard argument in the complaint of T. J. RutIedge to compel Fred s. Ball to surrender certain money to the amount of s1s.0se.e7, which he is al legged to be holding as trustee for F. J. Cramton and T. J. Rutledge. dis putants in the five-year-old land case that has been twice before the Su- preme Court.
 Attorneys for Mfr. Ball entered a demurrer. claiming that the money was held by Mir. Ball as an individual and not as a trustee. They contested the validity of such a course to ob- tain the money under the contract.
 The land involved consists in a number of lots fronting 46o feet on both Madison Avenue and Jefferson Street. and running through to Hil- Hard Street. After long litigation. it was agreed that the land was to be divided and sold. Mir. Cramton was to receive two-thirds and MT. Rutledge one third of the proceeds.
 Mir Ball declined to give up the money until the sale was confirmed by the Supreme Court, it is alleged. The land was sold to R. D, Apperson and Charles R. Miller at total price of $1s,ee6.67, and notes for the payment were given to Mir. Ball as trustee for all the owners of the entire propertY The notes were held in lieu of the land.
 Since the recent confirmation of the sale by the Supreme Court, according to the complaint add the argument heard by Judge Brown Thursday. Mir. Ball has held the money which by agreement should be in the hands of the former owners of the property by now. Judge Brown took the case into consideration
