 Several of the leading citizens of Ensley state they are opposed to the by-product gas proposition until they get more informbation about the mat ter. They are opposed to changed contract with the Birminghatn Rail- way, Light and Power company until the city commissioners find out the heat units of the by-product gas and want an expert to so over this matter and see if they would be getting the sa me heat unit with the. new gas as they are now getting with the coal gas. They state that this should be looked into thoroughly before the city commissioners should take action on changing the present contract.

SCHOOL BOND ISSUE

The S2,000 coo bond issue for the public schools will probably be one of the chief topics to be discussed at the regular meet
 ing of the Ensley club, which will be held Tuesday night in the inferior courtroom. While many of the members of the club are in favor of the bond issue there is some opposition, and a very lively discus sion is expected The claims is made that in some cities there is a morning session, beginning atf7 clock and lasting till noon and another beginning at noon and last ing until o'clock in the afternoon. While they would require a double set of teach CTS only one principal would be neces- sary at each school. It is stated that where this method is used the districts around the schools are divided into sec tions, and one section attend in the morning and the other in the evening.
 Those in favor of the bond issue claim that there are three schools in this district which are in very bad con- dition, and will have to be vacated as they are not safe for the childrento be in them. These three schools are oldest in the Ensley district, and are deficient regard
 ing proper light, ventilation and heat
 ing purposes. They are at present over crowded As to the auditorium bond is- sue it is said that practically all the members of the club are opposed to this measure.
 The report of the Warrior river road committee will also be heard. According to the report the United States engineer has recommended the Nichols Fishtrap read, which would put Ensley on the route to the river: The committee will make their full report at the meeting Tuesday.
 The committee on rerouting the South Ensley line through the business section of Birmingham will be heard, also the committee on the arc light on Nineteenth street and Ensley avenue. Several other matters will be taken up and all mem bers are urged to be present
