 Street
tEnsley Bureau.)

A petition to the clty commSslon to adopt an ordinance Authorizing the paving of Seventeenth street from Ave hue c to Avenue K. will be circulated, by property owners on that street be- ginning Monday morning. The initia- tors of the movement will be assisted by members of the Ensley Realty board, who want to see the street paved and thus connect Ensley's streets with hard surface paving in every direction. The paving will cost about $5O,0OO, it is stated, and will be paid for by the Birmingham Electric company and in dividual property owners on the streets affected. The property owners are said to be anxious to have the work done, believing that to have the permanent surface will add to the value of the property.
 If this program is carried through 1t is planned to connect Ensley avenue from Tuxedo Junction with the new paving, thus connecting Eighteenth street, also, providing new boulevard into Ensley and to n certain extent reducing the traffic risks on the streets of this community.
 The paving of Seventeenth street will bring the total of new paving author ized in Ensley to point in excess of $150,000 this year.
 High School Ready-The first term of the Ensley- Howard High school will start Monday morning. Announcement of the formal program was made Sat- urday by Prof. D. E. Cox, who will di- rect the schools. The enrolment will total about 75 boys and girls. from va- rious parts of Alabama and to this will be added twenty-five before the holidays.
 The school will be under the auspices of Howard college and was brought to Ensley through the influence and work of Dr. D. M. Gardner, pastor of the Ensley Baptist church. The. Baptist congregation surrendered to the school three buildings, including the church, valued at over $35, 900 and to that the citizens of the territory west of Fair view subscribed $25,000. A portion of the latter subscription remains to be paid. It is planned to invest an ad- ditional $1O0,O00 in the property soon.
