CONTRACT LET FOR
 BOULEVARD LINK Connects East Lake With
 Downtown Section GOES ALONG AVE. A Commission Takes Up Question of Sanitary Sewer for Fairview
 School Section--Also Want
 More Water Plugs
GOES ALONG AVE. A

A contract for the boulevard along Av- enue A, which is to relieve in measure the traffic conditions on First avenue from the eastern part of the city, and at Sloss furnace, was let yesterday by the commission. The Burkhalter Con tracting company, with a bid of s4060, se- cured the construction, which will amount to about ten blocks. The roadway will extend from Twenty-fourth street and Avenue A to the same avenue at Thirty first street where it will join the previ- ously constructed roadway leading from East Lake By Joining the two road ways a continuous boulevard is affected, which has been long desired by the resi- dents of the districts through which the boulevard runs. The recommendation Of Commissioner Lane on the viaduct prop osition was that If some plan could be arranged to decrease the traffic across the Sloss crossing there would not be such. a need for the viaducts.
 It is understood that work is to start at once on the roadway to get it into ser vice. The property owners are greatly in favor of the proposition while the resi- dents of East Lake are pleased with the new plan. Several bids were received on the work the lowest of which was that of the Burkhalter company. Upon a motion of Commissioner Weatherly the bid of the Burkhalter company was re- ceived and made final.
 The commissioners yesterday awarded a contract for 10000 tons of coal for the board of education, amounting to a large appropriation. The fuel is to be shipped at once In addition to the two contracts the commissioners adopted a resolution paying some vouchers. and an ordinance relative to the betterment of dairy con ditions in the city.

BARNETT TALKS ON
 WOODEN SHINGLES
Lumberman Says He Sells Them, But They Are Relic of the
 Past

J. Mercer Barnett president and treas urer of the Barnett Lumber company, de- clares himself in favor of having the wooden shingle abolished, though such procedure would mean somewhat of a financial setback to his business as we'll as that of the other lumber companies.
 I am in favor of the wooden shingle being abolished stated Mr. Barnett. T am convinced that our city would be greatly benefited by the ordinance being passed requiring fire-proof roofing. our com pany sells many thousands of cypress shingles every month and from stand point of financial gain it certainly would not pay me to have wooden shingles dcne away with. However, I do not pro- pose to stand in the way of the best in terests of the people of Birmingham by advocating the continued of the wooden shingle. simply because am making some money selling them.
 There are some who are giving out the impression that fire-proof roof suitable for residences would be too expensive. have looked into this matter and believe this to be greatly exaggerated. While the initial cost might be a trihe more this would be many times repaid by the addi- tional service and the lessened fire nsur- ance besides the danger to life and prop erty which can never be fully covered by insurance.
 "As to such an ordinance depriv!ng man of his liberty, l don't think that that phase of the subject is worth considering. Our liberties and rights can only exist when they do not conflict with the ] ishts of others If our house catches fire, it communicates itself to our neighbours house. and we are to that extent interfer- ing with his rights.
 No, the wooden shngle is relic of the past It has served it's purpose, in absence of better material, but like the caves in which our ancestors used to live, it's day is over. It is bound to give way .hefore modern fire-proof roofing products like asbestos. asphalt, metal shingles. tile, slate etc. just like the candle has given way to the electric light and the OK cart to the trolley car.
 We should all pull together for the best interests of the best city in the south Incidentally business is picking up and the outlook is very bright, indeed. for Greater Birmingham" N..

AGRICULTURE IS
 A BIG FEATURE
State Fair Will Pay More Attention to This Department Than
 Ever Before

At no time in the history of the Ala bama state fair and it has had successful record for the past twelve years, has more attention been given to the agricul- tural department, than for the coming exposition.
 Every incentive that offers stimulus for better exhibits and displays has been offered this year over 5000 being offered in premiums with bonus for prompt installations.
 John H. Adams who is active superin- tendent of this department. is chairman of the farm exhibition committee of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, and in this capacity he has been an influen- tial factor In securing desirable settlers and truck growers for this section of the south.
 ,Mr Adams is working energetically for the success of the agricultural depart- ment and from the exhibits already book ed he will doubtless have just cause for pride in the great advancement in. the displays which this department will make.
 As has already been announced the state of Alabama will put in an exhibit covering 1924 square feet of space in all individual building, forming an exact re- plca of the state capitol at Montgomery constructed of the natural grains. grasses and vegetation produced in such luxu- riance by Alabama.
 The Southern railway and allied lines have also reserved 1o24 square feet of space for the comprehensive exhibit Of the agricultural and industrial products along their lines. They have already sent experts from Washington city to look over the grounds and collect material for the exhibit. It is thought that this exhibit will be revelation of the pos sibili les in agriculture and varied in- dustries in the section traversed by the Southern railway and it's lines.

Brick Plant to Resume Operations. Timber Tract Is
 Sold

Riverside, August 29.-(Special. )--rhe cotton crops in this and adjoining places have been infested with the second crop of caterpilars. which in some fields are totally destroying the cotton. On the farm known as Halls quarter, at No. 4. on the Coosa river above here. they have completely destroyed all the cotton on a large plantation of several hundred acres. All along the river on both sides above and below here reports indicate that unless something Is done to kill out or stop the increasing of the cotton worm there will not be one fourth of a crop made in this section.
 It is understood that the farmers have little faith in Paris green or any other poisonous preparation saving the present crop, as 1t is late now to begin.
