GAS.SUPPLY-FA
. IN ALEXANDRIA AS !.
COAL is DELAYED
D. C. Sends Two Carloads,
Which Help Out Tenn

Alexandria today practically was
without gas. With the city gas
works virtually out Of commission on
account of lack Of coal used in the
manufacture of gas, thousands of
householders were compelled either to
go breakfastless or get the meal out
side. 4
According to officials of the Alex
ahdria gas works. there is plenty OF
coal en- route to that city for the
manufacture of gas. but the rail-
roads, they aver, have sidetracked or
seized the coal. The reserve supply
at the city gas works has been rapid
ly consumed until today there was
not enough coal to make gas sufficient
for Alexandria's consumption.
ID. C. Sends Coal.
The officials. realizing that famine

number Of small manufacturing plants
which depend upon gas for the opera
tion of their establishments. tried
everywhere to obtain fuel. The Dis
trict of Columbia government was
appealed TO with the result that two
carloads /of coal were sent post haste
to the Virginia city. The coal sent
by the District, however. was not the
quality used in making gas. 1t was
known as steam coal" The fuel.
however. was used, but did not furnish
sufficient gas to remedy the situation.

Shortly before noon the flow of gas
appeared to be slightly improved. it
was reported, and the consumers were
able to get a little better service, but
1t was not sufficient to use for cook
ing or the operation Of manufacturing
plants. j.
Officials of the city gas works ad-
mitted they do not know how soon
they will be able to obtain the kind
OF coal they can use in the manu-
facture OF gas. Until such fuel Is
obtained. householders win be COM
PEELED either to dine out or use coal
or wood stoves,
A situation similar to that which
Alexandra faced today is not likely
to occur in Washington since that
company manufactures gas from oil,
it was stated here. Thus far the
Washington Gas Light Company has
been able to get its regular monthly
supply of oil and also sufficient coal
to keep the plant In operation.

This policy of cooperation between

former members of the board. and
civic leaders were gratified today
when they learned that the new Off
ctal would adhere to it,
The most important matter in which
the civic bodies cooperate with the
Commissioners Is the selection of
streets for which improvements

Congress each year.

amendment, assessing part of the cost

NECESSITY IS SEEN FOR SUNDAY SALES
Tire Dealer Allowed By Court, Through Injunc-
 tiOn, to Give Service

The Eighty One Tire Company will tubes and accessories on Sunday
 temporary injunction restraining John H Taylor, city commissioner and Thomas J. Shirley, chief of police, all policemen and all other persons work ing under them from arresting the tire company, it's agents and employees, for furnishing the Sunday service, was granted by Judge John C. PuSh of the circuit court, yesterday
 The petition sets out the fact that 12,000 cars are operated on Sunday and more than 60,000 people are riding on this day. It is alleged that the Eighty One Tire Company furnished it's GUS toners automobile tires. tubes and other supplies when their autom obiles are broken down, so that it is neces sary for them to have this equipment in order to get home and are in dis tress.
 Complainants further aver that sec ton 760 of the code of Birmingham as last amended and which the company is charged with violating by keeping open their store and furnishing this Sunday service, is void, in that it is unreasonable and is discriminatory. It is alleged that by the same section that gasoline dealers are allowed to furnish gas and oil on Sundays, and that the automobile owner can provide himself with gas and oil on week days, but can't provide against punctrres and blow outs.
 Truman Morrison is president of the Eighty One Tire Company and Hunter Watkins is manager. In their petition for an injunction they allege that In many instances they have furnished tires. tubes and other automobile sup plies to persons to whom it was abso- iutely necessary for them to get where they were going, or back. Ttey aver that they have invested several thou sard dollars in their business and have large number of customers. and al though they make little or no profit on their Sunday service, their custo- riers appreciate and demand it.
 Fourteen physicians were waited on the first Sunday they were open, sev- eral of whom were on important calls. Service was also furnished to funeral rarty, all being in tire trouble

for the open market, because this stack produces basic Iron which the company converts Into steel products in its own mills.
 This company is now adding extensive ly to it's wire drawing and nail producing departments and installing additional electric generators. The new improve ments should all come In by carry fall and will add much to the roundabout character of this compact steel plant.
 The company is making headway in the development of it's Shannon self-flux- ing ore mines. where ore was recently struck at the depth of 1911 feet after more than six years of drilling. This ore will place the company in a splendid situation in that respect Tn addition to ifs own wants, it will eventually have sufficient to supply several of her blast furnaces.
 Cast iron pipe plants remain quite busy, although it IS within the realm of prob ability that the sanitary pipe shops may soon begin running at less high speed. owing to the slackening building opera tions throughout the country. Sanitary pipe depends on structural activity and any halt there means a halt n sanitary pipe.
 There is no apprehension of | long let up in structural activity. because the housing famine is still here, hut costs Of building and the uncertainty of these costs have restrained banks from financ- ing building operations as freely as they were doing some time ago.
 Stability rather than reduction in prices is what is wished for and it is believed that before the summer wanes some sort of set condition enabling renewal or structural activity will have come about. The South can build all during the year. hence even throughly relatibely little may be done in July and August, lots might be done in the fall and winter months.
 SOME SLACKENING Water and gas pipe are in good de- mand.
 The scrap market is extremely weak, prices sagging more than a dollar ton. Steel is especially stagnant. The pig iron market is more quiet than it has been in some time, but it is strong as ever. Small lots are being sold at the uniform price of $42. Makers still hesitate to take on additional export, because. as rule, that is for immediate shipment and makers do not wish to undertake to move great quantities at time for ex- port for fear it will hamper deliveries of domestic iron under contract
 Coke is extremely strong. Some spot furnace coke was sold during the week at S1O and S11 and some foundry coke that was not ndnu-plCkeu anu was Soi'i at SIP Standard foundry for spot delivery rules at from SIP to $14.
 More pig iron is going to the yards than ever before this year owing to the continued car shortage and the diversion of emptes to the west for the grain movement More than one furnace in terest is shipping not more than half it's make. It is this indelivered iron which contributes to the lull in placing orders for additional metal.

STREET BOND ISSUE | COMES UP TUESDAY Burruss Advocates Securing Money at Once for
 Improvements

Discussion of an ordinance which will
 be introduced by Commissioner Henry
 Page Burruss, proposing the issuing of
 a million dollars worth of bonds for street
 improvements, will be the main feature of the regular Tuesday morning session of the Board of City Commission. The ordinance was drawn up by City of Commissioner Burruss of the street improvement department.
 If the ordinance is passed by a vote of the entire Board of City Commission CTS, then the matter will go before the people Provided the commissioners ap-
 gust g.
 If commissioners, and later the citizens, approve Mir Burruss' proposition, the street improvement department will be enabled to pave streets in many sections of the city and to keep others in repalr during the next five years. The bonds, if authorized will be in the denomination of one thousand dollars each, and will bear interest at the rate of per cent per annum.
 According to Commissioner Burruss' the SLUV,WV per year WHiSl WOuiN ~S-A'~ from the sale of the bonds will be Tn addition to the annual appropriation to be made by the Board of Commissioners for the improvement and repairs of the streets in the city.
 Surely the people of Birmingham wish better streets and better conditions or streets" says Commissioner Burruss "and the money that is at present in the treasury Of the steret improvement de- | .., 10h streets in the proper condition, let alone any money for the construction of new streets and roads.
 ''There are $50 miles of streets. Of which 80 miles are paved 140 miles are macaoain streets and 630 miles are dirt streets that are dusty in summer and muddy Tn wi!i- ter.
 Surely the people of Birmingham ~'sh better streets and better condition or streets There can hardly be any two opinions about this matter The ohls question is how can we get good streets and maintain them.

They will not remain good streets unless they are paired and maintained.
