Unless the Southern Asphalt and Con struction company begins work on the paving and otherwise improving Avenue l, Ensley. immediately, the big contract for this work, which was granted 90 days ago, will be cancelled. if President Exum of the city commission is able to carry his point.
 The contract in question calls for the improvement by paving with tar cap mac adam of about eight blocks on Avenue | one of the main thoroughfares of Ems ley. President Exum states that there is no reason why this work should not have been started.
 ''The writing of the letter to this com pany," said he, indicates our intention of making the contractors consider the work of the city of Birmingham as a matter of importance. When we award contract we intend for the contrac- tors to do the work. and at once. Such dillydallying as has been done in the past will not be longer tolerated.
 The letter in question follows:

 Birmingham. Ala.
 "Gentlemen--ln the absence of Commits sioner Weatherly, I beg to advise that unless you proceed at once to fulfill your contract for the Improvement of Avenue I, Ensley, l shall request the board of commissioners to cancel your contract for this improvement.
 You were awarded this contract about | 90 days ago, and you have apparently made no effort to comply with same. |, therefore. insist upon immediate action on your part. and request that you advise me immediately upon receipt of this that | you have begun this work.
