The Board of Revenue yesterday after noon appropriated s1o,00O to be used in cutting through Red mountain, according to the plans that have been prepared by the Birmingham and Shades Valley Street Car company
 This removes the final hitch in the pro- gramme, and within the coming month actual work will begin on the construc- tion of the street car line and the removal of the barrier which has so long divided the county into two parts.
 At cost of about sso.OO0 an open cut will be dug directly across the point on the mountain where the steel bridge spans the railroad. The cut will be dug out below the railroad track a distance of 45 feet, and will be broad enough for both road and street car line thus placing Shades valley within mile and half Of town, with a road under per cent grade.

Price Of Living to Be Investigated

The alarming increase in the cost of
living, due to the rapid advance in the
price of necessities is to be subjected to
federal examination. The department
of commerce and labor has been asked for
conservative statement of the facts in
connection with the matter Preliminary
investigations show that the commits
sioner of labor has made no reports on
the cost of living, the advance in price of
necessities and the value of labor since
1907. At that time a report was made
to the effect that labor was not able to
purchase as much as in previous years.
The report was severely criticised by ad-
ministration statesmen because a political
campaign was about to open. Since that
time there has been sharp increase in
the cost Of living, although it has been
gradual for dozen years. The people
have come to that point where they want
to know what als them.
