Did Not MdteridIiSe-The meeting to
have been held at the city hall Saturday
morning during which it was proposed
to have property owner in the paving
district confer with the council on the
proposition to allow the property own
ers to buy their paving certificates at IA
discount equal to that offered by the paw
ing company, did not materialize. The
only ones present at the time the meet
ing was to have been held were Alderman
B. L. Cain, chairman of the street and
bridge committee, who called the meet
ing, Alderman $. /. BenavideS and Alder
man L. CobOlini. 1t was intended to
thresh the matter out to some satisfac-
tory end at the meeting, but the nee
essary property owners failing to re
spond to the call, nothing was done. 1t
is therefore believed that those property
owners who are satisfied with their paw
ing will pay without question. Those
who are not satisfied already have their
side of the matter up for consideration
by the courts.

Street improvement - The continued
difficulty had in the draining of the street
fronting the Church of Immaculate Con
ccptiOn on 10Th and Jefferson streets. 1t
isbelieved will be done away with now
that a gutter has been dug from Adams
to Jefferson, and down Jefferson to 14th,
to a storm sewer. Men were at work
Saturday making the necessary repairs
to the street, and cutting down III some
parts to better the drainage facilities.
Owing to the fact that along the side
walk the gutter has been higher than
the middle of the street, the drainage
has been in a very unsatisfactory cOndi-
ton, allowing water to stand, and max
ing mud and slush in rainy weathe sew
eral inches deep. The improvement Will
also improve the sanitary condition OF
the street.

To SUBMIT WATER
ISSUE TO VOTERS
City Committee Now Practi-
cally Agreed to Put Ques-
tion in Primary

To all the agitation current in reference
to the differences between the city and
the Birmingham Waterworks company
the city democratic executive committee
is desirous of putting an end.
The committee is now more determined
than ever before to put before the people
in the municipal primary this summer a
bond issue with which to acquire the plant
of the water company, or construct a new
one. a.
The committee takes the position that
there has been much dilatory action in
reference to municipal ownership, but
that nothing material has or will soon
be accomplished, according to indications.
'If the people declare in favor of mu-
anicipal ownership" said Roger Snyder,
member of the committee yesterday, "and
will vote favorably on bond issue wi III
which to acquire a plant to be operated
by the city, the question will be solved.
And never again will there be a reason
for agitation of the nature of that which
at rreesnt is in progress between the com
rany and the city.
Political students agree that IL the
question is submitted, the people will come
out strongly in favor of municipal owner

Appeals From Amended

An appeal from an amended confirm

steel company properties was filed yes
terday before E. II. Dryer, trustee in
bankruptcy. by Matthew II. Murphy,
the buyers of parcel ID
of that property, Frederick II. Buss and
Daniel A. 1Iohmann
The development yesterday in the
tangled sale confirmation of the South
ern Iron and Steel properties which
sold for $1,000, 900 is the latest of three
surprising moves in that case
The sale of parcel ID" which was
confirmed by Judge Dryer did not in
clude tile payment of s150,o00 in re-
ceivers' certificates of that company.
When Max J. Winkler and r. DUPONT
Thompson returned here from New
York they appealed to Judge Grubb in
an effort to have that item of $150,000
included in the confirmation.
subsequently Judge Dryer observed
the error and made an order of reaf-
firmation and included the s150.000 re-
ceivers' certificates as contended for
by the attorneys for the common credi-
tors
That order was made whereupon the
buyers of parcel "D' represented here

The legal appeal follows:

THE purchasers of the property Of
the bankrupt estate. Frederick II. Buss
and Daniel A. Hohmann heretofore sold
by the trustee to them, pursuant to the
terms of the order of sale of Decem-

have reviewed by the judge OF the
court the order OF the referee hereto

ing the order of confirmation of such
sale by the terms OF which modifying
order the said purchasers were de-
creed to purchase such property sub

ceiver's certificates heretofore issued

and say that said order is erroneous
in this:
Il BY the terms of the order of sale
pursuant to which the property was
purchased by these petitioners, the
purchasers of no part of the property
ordered to be sold were expressly or
implicitly required TO assume the pay
ment of such receivers certificates.
~ The property ordered sold was
not ordered sold subject to the payment
of such receivers certificates by the
purchasers.
"3. The condition attached to the
