COUNTY AGREES
 TO5O--5O BASIS
Will Meet City Half Way in Construction of EnsIey-
 Pratt City Road

Pratt City and Ensley citizens yes- terday appeared before the board of revenue and again asked the county to pave a road between the two cities on a s5-S5 basis with the city. The board again refused. but this time agreed to pay half of the con struction cost.
 Chairman D. c. Ball voted against the motion. He said that the pro- ject was purely a city street between the two towns and that he was op- posed to the county spending any money on it.
 A motion was first made to pave the street on 66-S5 basis, Thomas Huey then Introduced an amendment to the motion to include a perma- nently paved road along First avenue from Forty-second street to La Crosse station and continue the pavo- ment from Roebuck to Chafkville. He said he was not trying to block the Pratt y-Ensley road but that he thought the First avenue paving was just as badly needed.
 MT. Huey's amendment was voted down and the motion to pave the Ensley-Pratt City road on a s5-S5 ratio with the city was defeated. It was then that the board agreed to meet the city halfway in tho con struction of tho road.
 The delegation from these two cities will now go before the city commission in an effort to induce the city to provide the other half of the cost. The proposed road will furnish connection with the Bankhead highway. The street Is little more than a mile long and lies wholly within the city limits

However. there is one thing lack ing.
 The organization, which has been made possible to the Magic City by the generosity of Uncle Sam. needs one thing more very pressingly
 Riding Hall Vital It needs riding hall, which will cost $1.000. It must have this in order to ob tain the high rating of the govern ment. It needs this for inclement weather and a training for horses
 The Age Herald is asking for con- tributions for this cavalry troop, which is serving as q great training force and education for many of the citys youth.
 Had the troop not received the money to find a headquarters of it's own. it was expected that Uncle Sam would disband it immediately. Other cities are spending thousands just to keep such troops. Atlanta lately has built beautiful permanent armory for her units. As it now is. the money pledged just yesterday by the business men, will remodel two houses that have been given to the services of the SabreS by Il. C. StOcKndm, nedu or the Stockham company, and build a stable for the government horses and give the troops these absolute requi- sites:
 Orderly room.
 Club room.
 Supply room.
 Bedroom and kitchen for the men always on duty.
 One shower bath.
 The above will be included in one house.
 other Building
 In the second house, there will be the locker room for the men and an assembly room
 The stable will house the 69 odd horses used by the troop members, and add feed and saddle room.
 While the stables will be built on temporarily donated land the troop is hoping that some generous Bir- mingham man or woman, who wishes to do real service to the city. will give sufficient acreage where permanent troop home can be put up. This would be splendid way for an individual who cares a great deal about the city to perpetuate his or
