Ultimdtum Formally
 GiOen To The Railroads

The rejection by the city of Birming- ham of the proposal of the railroads to build a viaduct in Birmingham, and the ultimatum issued by the council at it's last meeting. were communicated off cially to the executive representatives here yesterday afternoon.
 The communication will be forwarded at once to the committee of executives who have charge of the final solution of the railroad plans. Of this committee Henry B. Spencer, vice president of the Southern railway, is chairman. The ul- timatum will reach Mr Spencer probably tomorrow and he is expected to com municate with the other vice presidents al once.
 Among the railroad men it is felt that the viaduct negotiations are now on more solid ground than ever before. It is unmstakable that the city means business and MT Spencer will no doubt realize this fact when the ultimatum is given him in Washington. It is conff- dently believed by those who are in

touch with the railroad officers that the new order will be acted upon without any further delays.
 The railroads are expected to meet again in Birmingham before the meeting of the council on December T. They will no doubt request the city to make some notifications in the order which was made recently. The matter of streets will figure very materially in the rail- roads attitude in the future.
 The greatest interest was shown among the railroad men yesterday in the councils action. It is said they are seriously anxious to get together with the city. and while money is scarce 1t is expected that dickering is thing of the past and that the next proposal will be of such a character as to permit of no refusal to meet it,
 It is not the general impression that the companies will meekly comply with the provisions of the city's uItimatum without requesting and insisting upon some notifications.
