TEMPLE EMANUEL
 FUND IS GROWING
Mr. Ford States Much Encouragement Is Being Given Gentle Move
 ment to Aid Hebrews

That the greatest encouragement was heing given the committee attempting to raise s15,000 for Temple Enianu-El among Gentle 1efends of that congregation was announced yesterday by A. H. Ford
 MT. Ferd said that the committee ap- pointed had not reported the amount of money secured, but that the sum they started out to get would be secured cas- fly. He said that the committees would be ready to report during the next few days. The campaign is being confined ex- clusively to the Gentiles of Birmingham. The movement was taken up by many public spirited citizens as a mark of ap- preciation of those residents of Birming- ham wha are of Hebrew faith, and who have never failed to respond to any call made upon them for the improvement of the city.
 The temple, corner Highland avenue and Twenty-first street, is being completed rapidly by the r. W. Mark Construction company. It is said about $40,00O is que yet upon the structure. Of that debt MT. Ford and his commmittee will pay off S15,000.
 A detailed announcement will be made in a few days as to the work of the com mittee appointed last Saturday

 Not Mir. Marshall

After six years of litigation Mrs. Dora V. Marshall of Avondale was awarded verdicts against the Metropolitan Life Insurance company for s223l.ss, and the Supreme Lodge Masonic Annuity for sI43G.s4 in the first division of the city court yesterday before Judge c. C. Ne smith.
 The suits were based on the death of the husband of Mrs. Marshall. who was alleged to have met his death at Little Rock, Ark, by a fall from bridge. His body was brought to Birmingham and was prepared for burial by Lige Loy. The remains were badly disfigured and with some difficulty were recognized. The insurance company refused to pay the death claims. alleging that the body was rot that of Marshall

NEWPROGRAMME ON
 PAVING CONSIDERED
May Order Work Done On
 Own Authority
CONFERENCE IS HELD
City Commissioners Are Debating Wisdom of Not Awaiting Peti- tions of Property Owners for
 Paving of Streets

The city commissioners are consd- to order the paving of a considerable number of streets and avenues on their own authority or follow the old plan of awaiting the filing of petitions asking for the paving and specifying the char aeter of material.
 A conference upon that subject was held yesterday and another will be held today. it>is understood The city au thoritles before the commission govern ment came in would order paving where they believed 1t was most needed. How ever when the commissioners came in the paving contracts then existing were cancelled in many cases. and 1t was lannounced then that no streets would be paved unless majority of the property owners asked that such work be done.
 That provision has resulted in the city doing less paving during the com. mission form of government than In several years past. The commissioners now. 1t Is said. are considering the wisdom of ordering work done when they think it is best and permitting such protests to be made as would naturally follow
 Mir. Exum is on record to the effect that he believes in paving every street and avenue of this city where paving would improve the property first, and the city as a secondary consideration. He is for giving the people good pave ment and not cheap material
 The suggestion has been made that the commissioners would not stand pat while protests were being hurled at them. If the city declines to pave certain streets and avenues and follows the plans already mapped out there will be about 100 blocks or more paved during the next few months. A table has been compiled showing some streets that are in need of paving and this information has been given the commis- sioners.
 It Is being discussed as q probability that the commissioners will inaugurate q very progressive programme immedl- ately after the holidays in connection with street paving.

STREET CAR LINE TO TUXEDO

 Albert r. Bush of Mobile, who has been handling the negotiations, said that the developments in that section to be made by the Highland Land company would be in keeping with the other developments of Birmingham.
