SUBURBAN STREETS DAMAGED BY RAINS Many Complaints Made to
 MT. Weatherly DRAINAGE IS NEEDED Commissioner States That Only Ef- fective Remedy for Situation Is
 Real and Modern System of
 Storm Sewers

The recent heavy rains have played havoc with the unpaved streets of the city. especially those of the suburban dis trcts.
 Numerous complaints are made daily to Commissioner Weatherly of the condition Of some of the streets which in many in stances are rendered almost impossible through the heavy rains of the past few weeks. The street department has every available man at work on the streets, but the frequency of the heavy showers delays the work to a great extent. MT. Weatherly states that the greatest need of the suburbs in regard to the streets Is a general drainage sytsem that will carry off the water quickly and not flood the streets and roads as is the case at pres ent. There are large areas in the out skirts of the town where the water col- lects in great quantities. and whose only outlet is wash of the adjoining street or roads
 To establish this drainage system will take time and money, but the commits sioner believes that much of the present difficulty would be overcome by the prop CT drainage and fully justify the financial outlay.
 In the meantime Street Commissioner Gafford and his forces are doing good work in repairing the breaches caused by the unusual rains of the past months and as rapidly as possible the streets will be made safe and passable. In some in stances complaints have little foundation when investigated by the street depart ment, but all are being looked into and the damage repaired as soon as possible.

stance the explosion was caused by n driver carrying an open lamp by the room in which men employed by the company were flaming out the gas to make the room safe for working the next day That the amount of gas was small Is evidenced by the fact that tLere was very little concussion, only Ia sheet of flame. which lasted only few seco nds
 Not Felt on Surface
 "The force of the explosion was not felt on the surface and in but few of the other working places The news was telephoned to the top by Tom Pullman, who was close to a telephone on this heading. Immediately a rescue party was organized. and all of the air was thrown from the top slope to the bottom slope, giving it double the usual quant- ity
 Tn addition to the usual precautions for controlling gas, steam was forced on the intake to keep the dust moist; also there are water lines in every heading and men continually wetting down top sides and bottom That this precaution was well taken vas shown by the fact that no dust was ignited. Men in the adjoining headings did not even know that an explosion had happened, and continued 10 work until called out. This heading was on d Sepdrdle Spllt ol ar and the smoke and gases from the ex- plosion were not carried to any of the other working places.
 This mine is not considered gasey or dusty. but notwithstanding this. all possible precautions are taken. Care lessness is extremely hard to guard in the absence of the criminal laws for a man violating the rules of the state and the mines.
 Both mines will be working Tuesday, as there is no evidence of the explosion in any of the working places. The dam age to the mines did not amount to S." Created Concern The report heard here early yesterday forenoon that the Marvel mines were in- volved in an accident, created the deep est concern. It is generally admitted by the best engineers of the district that Mir. Roden has created a working condi- tion at Marvel unparalleled in this indus trial district It is said to be a most discouraging matter for mines like Mar vel and Mulga to become involved In such an accident
 i The mines at Marvel are located ono above the other. Concrete entrances, board walk manways. high power revers- able fans ana steel construction are among the precautions taken. Ii Is stated that the mine will be work ing today as usual. At the time of the accident 200 men or more were working in the mines.
 Marvel mines are located in Bibb coun- ty about 50 miles from Birmingham. B. F. Roden is president and operating head of the company T. V. Johnson is secre- tary and treasurer while B. R. Smith Is sales manager.
