C. Jones. Con- tracts had been let for large amount of paving in the business district but the war caused cancellation of the contracts, and the matter will be taken up again.
 It is the plan of the mayor to push the paving ordinance until Bessemef has streets of which to be proud. The having of Nineteenth street is a mat ter ot special consideration as the traf- fic op that street is the heaviest in the city. City Engineer w. II. Stevens has been considering various systems of paving preparatory to beginning the work.
 It is stated that street taxes are not being paid promptly, and attention IS called to the fact that after March 3l a penalty of 50 cents will be attached
 to this amount. The assessment for street tax was raised from S3 to 50 this year, as an assistance in meeting the increase in the expenditures of the city 1 u eaSury.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
"prophecies" Which Miscarry
, tho Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Heraid'
 My name seldom appears in news paper but after reading the communl- oo+;o, in a certain Birmingham daily +odav cannot refrain from request ing you to indulge me for a few words.
 The communication referred to IS bv the great military critic" Frank simonds. Anyone holding the opinion that this mans prophecies anen' 'iie great world war were true has only to read his letters immediately after hostilities were declared Tn Euiope during the time the war raged there and since Americas entry to De oiS- illusioned. or.,,n,v have not come true. AS an nIuS' tho ton: Only a few weeks be1ore the ,rmis+ice was signed he is reported to have written, "The war cannot pos siblv come to ari end within SIX years and then proceeded with long mar angue enumerating Germany mex haustible resources" in man power, war equipment, strategical posltloH' etc, etc.
 This man is a stanch republican and at heart manifestly anti-Wilson' a Ia Roosevelt, although he lacks the courage and manhood to be as out snoten in his utterances as did M. Roosevelt.
 Nothing seems to have had his ap- nrobation or approval unless origi- hating through the instrumentaity or the republican party.
 Now. this man comes along in thiF'
 article and says: There are only tWI
 ways yet left to prevent Germany from winning the great war; etc, etc We speak of the danger incident to the much talked of negro uprising To- callv Any man who has studied the great world war situation will be fore | ed to conclude that German has JuS' 1 about as much chance to win the wal ! at this time as the negroes would have ! in the Birmingham district should they | actually uprise.
 1 Why the American people will con l tinue to read and give credit to- Sl- 1 monds' forecasts is hard to understand
 This letter seems to be written solely 1 to cause eff possible) doubt, uncer | tainty and unrest in the minds of tnt l American people if not in the world a
 large Possibly his motive for this ! is selfishness and the desire for gain as his writings are said to bring 1 fancy prices"
