 A. For City
ENSLEY BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD }


 Unanimous and enthusiastic ap- proval was given the Howard high school to be located here by the Ems ley realty board at it's meeting We'd nesday. A committee appointed as part of the composite committee to handle the project are James A Dupuy, J. Hoke Perkins and Ben L. Ingram. This trio of real estate men will meet with a similar committee from the Kiwanis club, the Associa- ted Merchants and the officials of the Baptist church and carry on the campaign for the civic donation of $25,000.
 The members of the board followed heartily the lead of Hardeman s. Meade, who offered a resolution com mending and approving the project and the passage of the resolution was unanimous. It was announced after the meeting that the members of the realty board would render whatever assistance they could to further the success of the Howard high and any other educational plans for this com munity.
 Discuss Roads.
 The realtors In discussing new roads for this territory appointed a committee to see if it were feasible to secure a new road leading from Republic through Sandusky and Pratt City to Ensley. The territory is densely populated and considerable business is located there but at this time the road enters the highway at point near Thomas station thus eliminating Pratt City and all terri tory west from participating in the business which might accrue from that section. It was suggested that the road could be a cutoff through Sandusky into Pratt City connect ing with the highway just being com pleted connecting Fairfield, Ensley and Pratt City. The committee to take up that matter with the county officials is composed of Charles A. Hassler, James G. Dardin and Ben L. Ingram. It was announced that the committee would visit the court house within the next few days and discuss the project with the mem bers of the board of revenue.
 In connection with the Crumley chapel cutoff into Ensley the com mittee in charge of that plan said county officials had given them an agreeable hearing and that progress was being made on the work.
 The new officers for the associa- tion will be elected at the meeting to be held In December and nominat- ing committee composed of Peyton Gupank' dardeman ;. Meade and S. l.. Graham was appointed to bring in the names of officers for the new term.
 The announcement was made that the Birmingham Casualty and Fire association of Birmingham would meet Thursday at l 80 o'clock in re- gard to the recent announcement of the state fire insurance commissioner respecting deferred accounts, and that the members of the association from Ensley would attend that meet ing to get line on what is to be done in connection with the new rule.
 It was stated that the proposition was vital one to the real estate men. especially those writing fire in- surance and they would be tre- mendously interested in the discus sion to take place,
