Bessemer, July Special. )-Tho ] Bessemer city council will meet in reg | ular session Tuesday evening, at which | time several matters of importance will be considered. Among the most inter- esting will be the matter of opening up another fire station, to be located on the Southside, but after the pur- eral weeks this matter has been un- der consideration by several members of the aldermanic body. When the city used horse trucks there was station on the south side, but after the pur- chase of the automobile trucks the station was moved to the city hall, but as there is so much territory to cover now it is thought advisable to re- establish another station on the South side. It is also expected that some measures will be taken in regard to the enforcing of ordinances which will materially help the sanitary condition of the city

Hundreds of notifica- tions have been sent out from the Bes- semer office of tax assessor and steady and consistent work will be required to complete the hearing in the time set by the board.
