The "steel plant hill" which was company employees in this district and which has been more or less an un- attractive part of this section, has l literally been transformed into a place of beauty and attractiveness. The work which has been under way for some time, has been completed and there exists now one of the most , attractive sections yet arranged for the employees of the community. All the homes have been remodeled and modernized and streets and drive ways have been laid out. Along these the department of horticulture of the company has planned unusually at tractive plants. The. entire effect is one of very great attraction and has called forth expression of gratifica- tion and surprise from visitors that have driven through the new develop ments.
 The company delayed improving the Ensley quarters untik> practically all remote places had been provided for on the theory that outside places had to be fixed and at Ensley other ar arrangements could be made. The re suits obtained by Ted Joy, superin- tendent of roads and buildings, and his organization are very pleasing to the citizens of Ensley.
 Fairfield schools
 It was reported yesterday that the city of Fairfield is planning to cen- tralize it's schools and instead of hav- ing three buildings as at this time or a temporary character, it is planned to erect one suitable building. It was stated yesterday that the new school building would be located in the park owned by the city and where suitable grounds would be available for the children. The latter is a very acute necessity for no adequate grounds exist at this time at any of the schools for play.
 Although the city of Fairfield IS somewhat short of money, yet it Is believed that suitable finances can be provided and steps looking to /sucn plan will be taken soon.
