stated Monday by the contractors that work would be started on the buildings as soon as possible and they would be completed just as rapidly as the work could be handled.
 To Change R0utes-The paving of Twentieth street from Avenue D to Tuxedo junction is expected to result in an important change in the present routing of street cars from Ensley to Birmingham. At this time the cars are routed down Aveinue c to Nineteenth Twentieth street and thence to Tuxedo street thence to Avenue E, hence to Twentieth street and thence to Tuxedo junction. 1t is stated that the paving will cause the construction of two blocks of railway lines and that cars will be routed to Twentieth. street on Avneue c thence to Tuxedo junction down Twentieth street. This will obuiate the congestion existing on Nineteenth avenue and it is believed lessen given leave of absence by the street by reason of the street cars be- ing routed over such a narrow thor oughfare.

UTILITY OFFICE
 CEASED TODAY
Bir mingham Electric
 Making $25,OOO Repairs On Ensley Building
(EnsIey Bureau)

The local office of the Birmingham | Electric company was closed Monday and will be closed Tuesday, while all | terations and extensions are being made. It is stated that the work which | is being rushed as rapidly as possible will be completed with as little in- convenience to the public as possible. The forces engaged in making the changes worked all day Sunday in order to complete the job as soon as pos sible and will perhaps work night and day to get the office relAodeled.
 Nosofficial statement has been made as to the cost of the repairs but it is stated something like $25, 900 will be spent. The company plans include the extensions on either side of the building with further additions on the upper floor. The office of D. s. Rich ard, local manager, will be on the ground floor as well as the auditing department and the cashiers. It is un- derstood that an attractive sales room will be included in the rearrangements and that Ensley will be made the head quarters for a large sales force cover ing this territory.
 The arrangements being made will result in convenience to the public it having been found inconvenient at times to transact business in the small space of the offices since Ensley has grown to its present proportions. This is said to be especially true during the school seasons when the sale of tickets often crowds the office to the very doors with students, excluding the regular line of patrons.
 Mir. Richard said Monday that the work would be of considerable help to the local organization in rendering the highest degree of service to the local patrons.
 Harp FuneraI-A large number of friends. gatehered at the home of Mrs. John Angwin, 1745 Twenty-eighth street Monday afternoon to attend the funeral of her father, J. s. Harp, whose death Sunday was received with sorrow in Ensley. Rev. David M. Gardner, pastor of the Ensley Baptist church, conducted the funeral. Mir. Harp, who was 7S years of age, was a Confed- crate soldier and was one of the most esteemed of the local southern heroes. Besides Mrs. Angwin he is survived by another daughter, Mrs. George Preston, and also three sons, Charles Harp of Texas, Jim Harp of Ensley and Ham Harp of Ensley. The deceased was a member of St. Johns lodge F. and A. M., and the Masoni rites were con ducted at EImwood where interment was held. Echols and Angwin were in charge.
 Contracts Let-Contracts for the construction of two of the new coun- ty schools have been given to Holley and Davis of this city by the coun. ty authorities. One of them will be erected near Bluff Park while the other will be erected in the western part of the county it was stated. The price of the two buildings was not dis. closed but it was stated the sum would be in line with the last costs of county school buildings of similar type. It was

He win be accompanied by Mrs. Mans field and their daughter. During Dr. Mansfield's absence his associate, Rev. O. K. Lamb assisted by other ministers will have charge of the services.
 To Build Garage--The Sinclair Transfer company's owners of the corn CT of Seventeenth street and Avenue E contemplate the erection of a mod ern fire proof garage and stable dur ing the next few months. The property was purchased by Mir. Sinclair from Judge William Nj. Walker for the pur- pose of building brick garage to take the place of the present building oc- cupied by the company. The building, 1t is stated, will be modern in every detail and will add materially otthat section of Ensley.
 Patrons Pleased of the Pratt City school, of which Prof. Elmer O. Sanders is principal, are pleased with the announcement that the board of education will provide an addition to the building helping in that way to eliminate the dangerously crowded conditions existing there. The work will begin on the addition just as soon as plans are approved and contract let. The school was constructed several years ago and has been since that time by a maximum of students. The addition will take care of the crowded condition and will in a measure, take care of the expected increase from that territory this fall.
 In connection with the remodeling. it is believed that the board of education will be unable to grant the request of the Pratt City Business Mems asso- citation for the erection in Praat City of high school. It is understood that the recent survey does not make any recommendation for high school and that the students of that territory will be required to attend the Ensley High school for some time yet.

1t was estimated that more than
100000 rodents met death at the
hands Of professional rat catchers,
school boys and girls and private citi-
zens who hunted the pests out with
every conceivable means. One YER

ported to have accounted. for 100000
rats.
The press took up the campaign,
and one enthusiastic writer asserted
he had seen on moonlight nights
, whole companies Of rats froMcking
through Piccadilly. One hospital
manager declared he had discovered
tight-rope walking brown rats en-
tering the hospital along electric light
wires stretched from the roof across
the street.
London sanitation officials do not
