ILLINOIS CENTRAL.
 PRESIDENT IS HERE c. H. Markham and Other Officials Shown Over
 Industrial District

c. H. Markham. president of the Illinois Central railroad. reached the city yesterday from Savannah, where he has been attending an annual meet ing Of that line. He was accompanied here by w. A. Winburn of the Central of Georgia, T. s. Noise. general man ager, and other officials. The party was taken over the district yesterday by E. F. Stovall, general agent, and off, fcieis of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company. MT. Markham was deeply interested in inspecting the local industrial sections and expressed his qualification over seeing operations here at such very fine capacity Mir. Markham said that Birmingham was evidently little affected by the general situation as the furnaces and other industrial plants and business generally seemed to be on the TIT grade.
 MT. Markham said his visit here was not of special importance, but was principally routine one for the pur- pose of seeing what was going on. He was of the opinion that the fall sea- son would open up business and that after all this country would continue it's upward climb.
 President Markham said there was no retrenchment in service at this time contemplated by the company and that he hoped the necessity would not arise for any such action.
 The officials will look over the dis trict further today and will leave al noon for Memphis over the Frisco lines

Will Make Complaint Re- garding Excess Water
 Charges Made


 Tonight at s o'clock special delega- ton representing the citizens of Ensley will meet with the city commissioners al the city hall to discuss present condi- tons regarding water rates
 Intense feeling has been aroused ir Ensley. it is said. over the quarterly water bills sent out by the Birmingham Waterworks company for the quarter be. ginning October l. At the mass meeting held a few nights ago in Ensley this committee was appointed to see the com missioners and get some. relief if possible The sentiment in Ensley against the waterworks company is said to have been aroused this time by excess bills being received by large percentage of con sumers. The majority of the bills for this suburb, it is said, vary from ST 5t CT. up, one or two being as high as s; for the quarter
 One man who lives in five-room house and has a family of four persons, re- ceived a bill for $55, the excess being s5: for the past quarter, it is said.

TROUBLE RESULTS IN

Guyer Says He Did Not. Say a Word to Ladies As Zimmerman
 Had Charged

w. H. Zimmerman and James T. Guy. CT swore out warrants against each other yesterday in connection with their diffl- culty on Twenty-flrst street between Fifth and Sixth avenues, early Wednesday night. Zimmerman had struck Guyer over the eye, infiicting an ugly cut and Guyer had fired his pistol toward Zim- merman. infiicting a slight wound in the calf of his leg.
 Guyer. who is a car inspector with the Louisville and Nashville railroad, yester- day wanted 1t understood that he said nothing to the ladies about whom the trouble is said to have started.
 s'When looked across the alley from my room saw lady sitting on plano stool and man talking to her" he said. 'I simply tapped on the window pane with my comb in a spirit of fun. The man evidently felt affronted. however. for he came out in ugly humor and one word led to another until he hit me with something and l. fired my pistol. I went to my work last night and notified police head, lfars gre would hc down next morn tns t9 A e batsc."

No paving or new street improvements of any kind are now being done by ths city. with the exception of repair worf in different sections. No paving has beer done for sometime. and none will be an nounced now until after the new fisca budget Is completed.
 Street Commissioner Frank Gafford re- gently was authorized to purchase 10t cars of chert and 50 cars of slag for street repair work T am now using up this material" said Mr. Gafford yesterday ''in patching and repairing streets in all parts of the city. So far since this last order of material, I have repaired Six teenth street north of Eighth avenue and am now working on Twelfth avenue, south. between Fifteenth and Twentieth streets. having used up about 25 loads of cherts
 As fast as l can get to it. the re- nainder will be used in various parts of the city making repairs. exactly where l don't know until l get to it.
 As to whether any new paving Is planned O. other street Improvements contem- plated by the city. nothing will be given VhA pAobdDiN uiittH utter lHt DuQ6tt Ntlttii the commissioners are now working on is completed
 MT. Gafford yesterday submitted his an- nual report for the fiscal year to the city commissioners. The feature of the re port is the enormous amount of street work done by his department with the new scarifier machine purchased during th.. summer by the commissioners.
 The new street husher which was also purchased during the summer is highly praised by MT Gafford. and he reconl- mends that another be bought as soon as possible. His report is as follows:
 Prom October l. 1913. to September 30 1914. inclusive the street department han dled 71,024 loads of garbage, an average of 22s per day; 72,o54 loads of material and supplies, an average of 232 daily, with al average daily force of 37 foremen and fou1 guards, 169 free labor, 1a5 convicts and & teams.

COMMITTEE NAMED ! BY PRESIDENT WARD Will Attempt to Solve Prob
 lem of Crossing At Ave- nue K

At a meeting of the property hold CTS and representatives of the com panles Interested in the new Avenue r car line to Elmwood cemetery in the offices of President George Ward of the city commission yesterday, spe- |cial committee of property holders was appointed by MT. Ward to confer with abutting property holders on the site of the proposed underpass or grade crossing at Seventh street and see if the question cannot be settled by arbi- |tration.
 The Avenue r line frosslng with the Louisville and Nashville railroad at Seventh street has presented serious problem of which there seems no so- lution outside of arbitration or com dcnination by the city. As condemna- ton proceedings would probably con sume considerable time the question Will he arbitrated if possible
 Both the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company and the Louisville . and Nashville wish 10 construct an un- derpass or subway to allow the street car line to pass under the tracks of the steam railway rather than become involved in another grade crossing sit uation. Abutting property holders, how evei. on the site of the underpsss pro .
  ingress and egress to their property will be cut off by the subway. On the other hand. the city. it appears rath- CT favors a grade crossing on the argu- ment that the situation will not be made much worse thereby and the flu ture development of tho system for the elimination of all grade crossings will not be compromised. This argument is to the effect that If the two railway compa nies go to the expense of an un- derpass now, when they are finally asked to comply with the general grade crossing elimination plan which calls for the Louisville and Nashville to come through the city oil an elevated track, the expense of the underpase will be lost and the railroads will be that much more reticent to final elevation of the tracks.
 The committee. composed of !. R. McCrary. T. S. Smith. Mir Riser and Mr. Jackson, will confer with these abutting property holders on the cross
 ing site and report back to the com missioners next Tuesday.
