commanding the Second Alabama. He was

abundance may be procured here Colonel

CITY COMMISSION
WILL MEET TODAY
City Engineer Will Report
on Plans of Kelly
Interests

Probably the most important matter So
meeting this afternoon is the report to be
made by City Engineer kirkpatrick on
the plans of the Kelly interests for the
proposed street railway system. Mir.
Kirkpatrick was reremptorily instructed
al the recessed meeting of the commits
sion Wednesday to have a report ready on
this matter.
The city engineer since that time has
been devoting his entire time TO the plans
submitted by the Kelly interests and has
Eeld several conferences with representa-
tives of the company. The first plans sub
mitted to the engineer were lacking in
sufficient DETAIL according to the state
ment of Mr.. Kirkpatrick.
Further details are now being furnished
and it is expected MIR. Kirkpatrick will be
able to make his final report today. Upon
his report hinges the fate of the Kelly
railroad. The report is expected to be
favorable.
If the plans submitted are refused by
the city upon the recommendation of Mr.
kirkpatrick. the Kelly railway franchise
becomes void If they are accepted with
in 80 days, $4,000 in cash must be paid to
the city and $4,000 IN notes must be given
to the city, making total of $4,000 so far
paid by the company for the franchise,
$1,000 being paid wncn the grant was made.
Under the terms of the franchise actual
construction must begin on the line with
in the next month or two.

BLOCK SIGNALS FOR
QUEEN & CRESCENT
Total of $4,000 Will Be
Spent Between Mound
vile and Livingston

The last gap of the Queen and Crescent
route unprotected by automatic block
signals will be equipped with that sa fe-
guard at once. 1t was announced yes-
terday that costing $1,000 per mile Ss miles
between Moundvile and Livingston will
De equipped with automatic blocks ar
once. An appropriation for that work has
peeh made by the Queen and Crescent
officials.
Inc 5S miles to be equipped will in
NolNe cost of S39, 600, which is slightly
above S100 per mile When that is
equipped the Alabama Great Southern
VIII have protection with automatic
blocks over the entire line with the ex.
ception of p miles from Woodstock TO
birmingham, which is equipped with
manual block signals. which have been
very satisfactory up to this time.
The appropriation by the Queen and
Crescent for this work places that line
IN the front ranks of properly protected
fast lines In this section The operation
OF considerable number of trains over
the lower end OF the division has caused
the installation of signals to be discussed
often, but from time to time the appro-
priation has been held up until this time.
Automatic block signals are considered
In railroad circles to be entirely efficient
and have been adopted by all the lead
ing railroads of this and other countries.
