The main VIII run to twenty -nlntH street and Twenty-first avenue, fol lowing a course from the source of supply west on Twentyfirst avenue to Twenty seventh street. and north on Twenty seventh street to Twenty ninth avenue. to the center of dis tribution.
 It was pointed out in the report of MT. Baker that if anything should happen to the smaller main that North Birmingham would be left without water, and thu b the new main would relieve the existing condl- tions from the lack of pressure. -any industrial plants have made fppli- cation for water, but it has been inn possible to serve them, MT Baker stated.
 Clerk Is Assigned.
 Commissioner Harrison stated clerk has been added to the force at the North Birmingham plant to see that the bills are made monthly and to make corrections in the me- ters. This will bring the city add ed revenue, which it has not re- ceived before, owing to the laxity with which the plant has been nan aged.
 The decision of the commissioner in rehabilitating the plant will call for the replacement of and condition ing of all the meters now in use and installation of new meters. Lines will be repaired which will improve the service and many extensions are being contemplated. By this move all sections of that suburb will be supplied with water and electricity with same satisfaction as in Bir- mingham.
 Commissioner Harrison said: We have known that the general sys- tenn has been run down and our only course was to make proposed improvements or sell the plant out right. We feel that we can operate the plant on a soundi business plan which will give the people service. The city can undoubtedly receive double revenue from its new work. It will. through the increased rate, pay for the improvements during the next five years and put it on a basis where it will be self-sus- taining. It will mean a practical rehabilitation of the entire plant and system, but we are going to give the citizens of North Birmingham ade- quate service, and this is the only way to do it.
 People Approve PIsn.
 "The people of North Birmingham are willing to have the meters in stalled, which mean advanced rates for their electricity, as I have talked before the Civic league and they were in favor of the movement. Num- bers of complaints have reached my office of the inadequate service. both as to light and water, and Litter the survey it was found that a general rebuilding of the plant and lines would be the only solution. We are going to give the people service, and relief from the present conditions will be made as soon as possible
 The cost of the water proposition, which includes the new main and me ters, will be s2s,295.92, and the electric meters and extensions con templated will cost SS1, ,S3S.75, 7mak- ing total of s60,633.67, according to the report from MT. Baker.

Montrose Press
Two bushes Of lilacs, at least are
blooming in Montrose right now. The
Press has some in the window which
were raised by Frank Buskirk. No,
they are not freaks of nature, and the
climate Of Montrose has not changed.
Last spring these lilac bushes bloomed
in the regular way, and after the bios
SONS had been picked or faded, the
bushes were stripped Of leaves, which,
according to writer's in several papers
would cause them to bloom again.
Sure enough, the bushes are blossom
ing again now in September.
Frank Buskirk has bush and so
has Mrs. A. w. Galloway, which were
treated this way, and both are pro-
ducing blooms with the real lilac frag-
rance and appearance, with tiny green
buds appearing in the stem. We
wonder what their next springs crop
