The petition will be taken to all of tn presidents on Seventeenth street some time today for signatures and it is stated that the majority of the residents are in favor of paved street. If the committee is success ful in getting a majority of sigma lures. three of the principal streets of Ensley will have good paved roads, as Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets have been paved for some time.
 In regard to the paving of the Ave- nue F road, the committee composed of H. $. Meade, president of the Ems ley Real Estate board, and NJ. H. Mc- Dowell, appeared before the city com missioners and were promised that resolution would be drawn up tn- mediately authorizing bids for this work but that it would not be com pleted in time for the regular city commissioners meeting this morning, but that it would be taken up at the next meeting week from today.
 The Avenue F paving will start at Nineteenth street in Ensley and will go through Pratt City to the Bank head highway and when the work is completed it will give Ensley two paved routes to Birmingham.

 The Ensley and Fairfield fire de- partments answered the alarm, but the house was located so far away from fire plug that the combined hose line of both departments was unable to reach the house, and the firemen had to stand by and watch the house burn down. The household effects were removed from the burn ing building and the firemen suc- ceeded in putting out the sparks that fell on adjoining roofs, but were handicapped by the lack of water.
