NEW INDUSTRY FOR BAINBRIDGE Brick Plant to be Operated by Mr. L F. Patterson. A new industry for Bainbridge will be a plant for the manufac ture of a patent brick, and will be owned and operated by Mr. L. F. Patterson. It will be re membered that Mr. Patterson re cently sold out his interest in the clay brick plant to Mr. A. J. Rich. The patent brick is known as “Sanderson’s Improved Chemical Brick”, the material of which is sand, minerals and chemicals. Some of the brick have been left at the Search Light office to be examined by those interested in building material. It is claimed for them that they harden with age and that they are proving to be among the best building ma terial known. They have a per fectly smooth surface and will be uspd for what is called “face brick” for finishing work. It is believed that these brick will be the future building material of the world.

Council- MAYOR & COUNCIL HAD LIVELY MEET Questions of Position of Tclepkooe PoIm Was Bom of Corttatioa. A considerable discussion arose at the called meeting of the May or and Council the other night over future position of the tele phone poles in the paved district of the city. As is known, the telephone poles were allowed to be put out side the curbing in the streets and have been allowed to remain there. When the recent paving work was begun, it was found that the serious blunder in the past would have to be overcome in some way and various sugges tions were offered. The Southern Bell Telephone Company had representatives at the called meeting of the Mayor and Council. They submitted a proposition to the city which was, that they would move the polea from the streets to the curbing and would allow the city to use the poles of the company, provid ed the city would pay them rent for such use. This offer was declined, and an offer was made by the city to allow the poles to be moved to the curbing; provid ed the city could have the use of the poles without rent. The tel ephone company accepted this offer, which means that the territory west from Spring creek would be a benefit financially to this side of the creek. He says the taxes in this county would not be near so high, and besides, he says the roads would be put in good condition in muib shorter time. He contends t: it with the present road force a.J^with the large territory it vT^ be many years before some sei“ of the county get good roues.
