 As result of the burning of the Beulah negro Baptist church on Sec ond avenue and Eleventh street at S:3o o'clock Friday morning, the state fire marshal will be asked to carry out an investigation upon the suppo- sition that the fire was of incendiary origin. Chief of the, fire department Leo Hill states that this church building has been burned three times and that on Thursday evening fac tions of the church held a heated controversy. The loss is estimated at about s4000.
 Chief Hill is of the opinion that the building may have been fired by per sons belonging to one G>e the factions. and is said to have evidence upon which an investigation will be based.
 The fire department was also called to the residence of Mrs. A. S FItz- patrick, 1715 Fourth avenue, Friday afternoon at o'clock, where the 1oof of the dwelling was completely destroyed, at a loss of S1 900.

Pratt. time the western part of Ensley and the entire city of Fairfield was up against the proposition of getting more adequate sewerage or no fur ther construction of consequence could be done. It was pointed out that the sewerage could not go over Flint ridge into the main system and that the only way to correct the situation was to build a sewerage line from Fairfield to the junction below Brighton, near Bessemer.
 The project will involve over S1,500,000, it is believed, although the engineers have not gone over the situation. The opinion was formed following the meeting that the coun- ty officials would engage themselves in the task seriously and that some action should be-Nexpected within a few weeks.

NIZINA BRIDGE
 SEES HEADWAY
 SAYS COTWALS

That work on the NiZina River report brought back by Major John c. Gotwals, who returned two days ago from an inspection trip up the Valley The winters work on the big 900-foot steel bridge being built by the Alaska Road Commission, con- sists of the putting in of the five river piers. These piers, each one of which is a steel cylinder eight feet in diameter, are driven for 20 feet into the river-bed and then capped with concrete On them the ends of the steel trusses of the bridge will rest. The work is just now ac- quiring momentum, said Major Got walls, and from now on will show marked progress. A well-built camp has been erected at the site of the bridge, and 200 tons of freight have already been hauled overland on sleds from Mccarthy. nine miles away. The hauling of freight has been accomplished both by horses and automobile tractor. The work has been greatly facilitated said Ma jor Gotwals, by the fine weather of the Winter and excellent sledding conditions, which have enabled the hauling to be performed at low cost Machinery now at the bridge site consists of donkey engines, derricks gas pumps, all of which are erected and in operation. A working trestle across the river is now being con- structed, and conditions are about ready for the driving of the first pier. The work on the bridge is being accomplished by a comparative ly small crew, but their labors are advanced by an ample equipment of machinery. Pushing the work to the point of completion of the five piers before the appearance of high water about the first of July is the present plan of the Commission. At that time the work will be discontinued, to be resumed in the Fall at low water conditions.
 The construction work on the Nj gina bridge is particularly interest ing, said Major Gotwals, by reason of the mechanical problems involved and the equipment employed, and also because of the peculiarly excel lent working conditions afforded by the Winter climate. That this last is a great advantage in all such work, said Major Gotwals, is indicated by the fact that the costs are compara- lively low The carrying on of sim liar distance from railways in Wash ington or Oregon, costs considerably more, said the Commission engineer, than is being required here. This advantage is due to the long period of uniformly clear days, typical of the Winter season in the Interior, to- gether with perfect conditions for transporting materials over the ice and snow during the working season. In the Alaskan Interior, said Major Gotwals, the Winter season, instead of being a handicap, is a great re- source in the prosecution of work of this character.
 The completion of the Nizina bridge, with it's 900 feet of steel construction, and 700-foot timber ap- proach, will mark an epoch in the development of road-work in the Tn- terior The Taslina bridge, reports Major Gotwa1s, is now all but com pleted the trusses just now being erected.
