CITY IMPROVEMENTS.
Extensive Street and Sidewalk Work
 In Decatur.

Decatur, January 27.-(Special)- During the past year this city has built GOOD lineal feet of bitulithic streets, costing $70,941.95; 290 lineal feet of brick street paving has been built, costing s746.93: s4.OOO lineal feet of concrete sidewalk and crossings have been constructed, at a cost of $67,S00. The city still has under contract the building of 4500 lineal feet of concrete sidewalks to cost about $4000. Prior to the letting of these contracts about 3160 feet of sidewalks were built in the city, and private parties also built about 3191 feet of walks in addition to all the above.
 When the present sidewalk contracts are completed the city will have about 20 miles of concrete walks, making one of the best paved cities in the state.
 The total expense of street paving and sidewalk building will be about $143,500. Considering the hard times during the past year 1t is very doubt full if there can be found another city of like size in Alabama that has spent an equal sum of money.
 Decatur has also just taken up and retired s10 1000 of the school bond issue of 10000. which bonds were issued in July, 1904.

RANSDELL PLEADS
 FOR WATERWAYS
Congressman Speaks Before
 Traffic Club of Chicago
BOND ISSUE IS ADVOCATED
The Cost of Needed Improvements Is Placed at $500, 1000 900 By RansdeII, Who Says Congress Should
 Take the Matter Up.

Chicago January 27.-Congressman J. E. Ransdell of Louisiana, president of the National Rivers and Harbors congress. in addressing the Traffic club of Chicago tonight pleaded for the support of the railways in securing more and better wa terways, and advocated bond issue suf- ficient to secure OOOOO year for the purpose of improving rivers, harbors and canals.
 .'It is admitted by all" said the speak CT, that many of our most valuable rivers, such as the Columbia, the Mis- souri, the upper Mississippi the Ohio the Red and the Tennessee, are practically worthless during several months of each year because of shallow water, which inn pedes and often prevents investigation thereon. The same is true with nearly every river in the country and also of the intercoasted waters along both oceans and the gulf, which must be connected by artificial canals. We cannot give the exact cost of improving all these waters, as surveys and estimates are incomplete in several important instances, but from the reports from United States army en- gineers, who have charge of all such work and a number of careful estimates in other cases, we are safe in assuming that 1t will be about $50O, 600 for the projects now being urged before Con- gress.
 Work on the Ohio river began 32 years ago, on plan to secure minimum depth of six feet at all stations, and only about one-tenth of the project is now completed. If past methods continue 1t will require over 100 years to finish the present project of nine feet in the Ohio"
 Taking up the subject of a bond is- sue, MT. Ransdell declared that proposed waterway improvements would prove an investment that would pay large an- nual dividend in reduced freight rates. Even if saving of only 10 per cent were made. he said, it would certainly pay to borrow money at 2 or per cent and in vest in a project that would pay 10 per cent
 eIt seems reasonable to suppose" he said, that We can expect $50,O0OOO0 to. $60 O00, 900 a year for waterways out of ordinary revenues of government unless there be a speedy change in our fiscal policy. If bonds are necessary for high ways and railways, and not small sums, such as the proposed issue of S5O,0OOOO0 for the next 10 years for waterways, $5OO,- GOO 900 in all, but more than F times that amount of actual outstanding railway bonds and 10 times as much as proposed new railway bonds, then what is the ob- jection to issuing bonds for the improve ment of our waterways if there be no current revenues out of which to improve them ?''
