THE TIDEWATER WORK

The positive statement made by George G. Crawford, president of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany, that the steel mill would re- sume operations some time in June has been received with much satisfaction not only by the people of Ensley but by the entire district. The actual date has not been set as to the resumption of work, but it Is understood that it will be In the latter part of the month. The starting of the plant means much to Ensley, not only to employees of the mill, but to the business interests. Contrary to general impressions, but few men were retained when the mill suspended, although some of the de- partments, the foundry, for instance, kept the working force intact by work | ing half the force week about. It is rumored that the Louisville and | Nashville Railroad company has placed an additional order for rails for im- mediate delivery and also that the Sea- board Air line has placed an order.
 Tidewater Company l There has been no cessation of work on the street railway of the Tidewater company since it was commenced | few days ago, and already practically all the grading has been done on the route to be built by McArthur Brothers. Everything Is now in readiness for the | laying of the ties and the steel rails, which are being assembled as rapidly as possible.
 There was some regret at the tear ing up of the neat little parks in the center of Park avenue as that has been as ruthlessly dug up as the other sec tions of the street. However, it is understood the parks will be put In their former condition as soon as the tracks are laid and ballasted. The materials for further construction are expected this week.
