 Selma, Jan. 7-((Specia1. )-"The actual work of paving the streets of seima will probably be started about the first of next month" said ya mem Der of the special committees of the City Council which has this matter Tn charge.
 The contracts for paving Broad and Water streets were let several months ago but the work of paving has not been started on account of an adjustment of difference between the Selma Street and Suburban Railway Company and the city.
 The members of the paving commit tee said this morning that this dif- ference had about been adjusted and that as soon as it was that there would be nothing in the way to him der the work of paving.
 The two companies to which have been awarded the contract for the paving of Broad and Water streets are anxious to start the work. It is understood that these companies can start the work of paving few days after they have been notffied that the city is ready for them to begin the work.
 On account of the delay about all of the opposition to the paving, of the streets has died. Some months ago there was talk that some of the prop. erty owners on Broad and Water streets would try and prevent the city from paving these streets but if Is now thought that these ciixens will make no fight in the matter.
