 mission Gives Rush Order
 for Feed

At the commission meeting yesterday
 an ordinance was passed fixing the
 grade of Avenue A between Twenty
 fourth street and Thirty-second street. Another ordinance providing that the
 street shall be paved will be passed
 soon, whereupon that proposed borle-
 yard will be under construction. The commissioners intend to pave to
 Thirty second street so as to form a complete roadway of high class con- struction from Birmingham to East
 Lake directly through the city of Bir-
 mingham This plan was decided upon because it is believed such roadway
 will materially decrease the volume of traffic which passes over the Sloss crossing where viaduct was to be placed. By reducing the travel, it is said, the danger will be very much re- duced and the need for a viaduct will
 not be half so great as formerly The
 plan will give three direct roadways into the city from East Lake without any serious crossing.
