WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The House immigration committee, which has before it a flood of bills de- signed to change the immigration laws, was said today to near the end of it's task of framing a measure re- flecting the views of the committee
 Among the various bills before the committee is one denying admission to persons not eligible to citizenship under the recent supreme court de- cision. This bill, if enacted into law would bar Japanese, among others.

 Right of Way
ENSLEY BUREAU THE AGE HERALD Ensley. Ala. ,tau.

The citizens of Ensley are grati- fled over the announcement that the right of way has been secured for the completion of the Eighth avenue paving which has been under discus sion for some time. According to an announcement made by A. J. Hawk ins, city engineer, the paving will cost approximately $37 900 and that the ordinance will be passed author izing bids for this work in the near future.
 The route is already paved out from Birmingham just beyond the Birmingham- Southern college, where there is a stretch of unpayed road for about a mile and quarter, which runs into the Eighteenth street road coming into Ensley. According to a statement this route runs through the highest class property west of Birmingham proper and is equal to that of Ensley Highlands, and it is predicted this route will become one of the most popular highways be- tween Birmingham and the western section of the city as it is a mile shorter than any other route.
 When this road is completed it will also help to relieve the congested conditions of the Third avenue road as the new road will be used for private conveyances, while it is stated that the jitneys will be routed over the Third avenue road.
