TO MAKE FIRST AVENUE
ONE GREAT BOULEVARD

The merchants of First avenue i'm
tend to make of that avenue something
entirely new In Birmingham. A boul-
evard will be constructed out of what
is now First avenue, running from one
city limit to the other.
1t was stated yesterday by H. ],
Porter, who Is at the head of the mer-
chants campaign for extended improve
ments on First avenue, that the cleo
trio arcade Is assured. He also said
that the First avenue merchants in
tend to remove the Belgian blocks from
this thoroughfare and to place better
paving for the avenues patrons.
When the viaduct is completed on
First avenue and the arcade and 9TH
err improvements made 1t Is claimed
that no better street will be In the
city of Birmingham.

COUNTY BLOODHOUNDS
ARE GIVEN POISON

Sheriff Higdon is making Investigations
to find who poisoned the county's three
finest bloodhounds and valuable pointer.
The bird dog and two of the bloodhounds
died from poison yesterday morning,
while the third hound was also poisoned
and is being treated by veterinary sur
geon. The animals were kept on Sheriff
Higdon's fruit farm near East Lake, and
it is not know how the poison was given
them.
Only one hound was available Friday
night when an assault near Vanderbilt
furnace was reported, and the loss of the
dogs was keenly felt.

a subway. The engineers of both the
railroad interests and the city do not be-
lieve that a sufficient drain could be rea-
sonably secured on the property. Then
again 1t Is said that the work at the
Sloss furnace, especially the blasting,
would break the cement and would other
wise injure the construction. The coun-
oil committee for this reason, as we'll as
others, did not consider the question of
a subway further.
Nesbitt's Suggestion Not Taken
The suggestion of Railroad Commits
sioner Nesbitt will not re concurred in
by the construction of the viaduct, ac-
cording to the general belief. One alder
man said Yesterday that as through pas
sengers were not allowed stop-overs in
Birmingham, he did not believe 1t proper
to place a death-dealing transfer station
at the junction of a network of railroads
to save some passenger scent piece
paid in riding from the Louisville and
Nashville station to the Terminal or
back, as the case may be.
Commissioner Nesbitt desired a trans
fer station Incorporated into the viaduct
plans to transfer passengers from trains
or the Louisville and Nashville to other
trains and from other trains to the
Louisville and Nashville. inasmuch as the
Louisville and Nashville and other sys-
tens operated from different depots.
The plan outlined in the foregoing will
be subjected to another examination by
the committee before 1t Is embodied into
formal report to the general committee
If the plans are not changed report will
be made tomorrow night to the commit
tee as a whole. This committee will then
report to the council If In that body
/. is approved 1t will go to the local rail-
road executive representatives.
If the railroad men agree to the plan
the city will be at once notified. The
local railroad men have sufficient authori-
ty to close up the question without any
further meeting of the executive heads
In Birmingham. For this reason 1t is ex-
pected that quick action will feature the
future of the viaduct negotiations

1.-THE people who have business on
other streets have been giving pretty
stiff knocks to First avenue for some
time," said Mr.. Porter. They have
said the avenue was dead and that
the town was moving the other way.
Although this Is claimed 1t is far from
the fact. We have all the prominent
office buildings on our avenue and more
people are on this avenue daily than
any 9th er two in the city. We in
tend to make a perfect boulevard of
First avenue, running from one end to
the other. When we get the viaduct
constructed we will have removed the
Belgian blocks and will have con-
structed an arcade. This will help
some. Then we will proceed to clean
up some undesirable places and make
of First avenue the most popular point
of interest in the city,"

become responsible for any such work.

the city will secure a viaduct over the
