College PROV erty appears i'll this Issue.
When it became known that The college
property could be secured for this
amount and upon twenty year bonds,
many of our people expressed the opia-
ION that the opportunity to purchase
this valuable property for the school
district should not be neglected, and
the board OF education unanimously
passed resolution submitting the
question to the voters of the district.
The proposition is made Dy The own
ers to sell the college building and
grounds, which includes about eleven
acres, excluding the dwelling house
and its grounds, for eco in bonds to
run twenty years at D per cent. inter
est, payable semi-annually, bonds 10
be given i'll exchange for the property.
The college building cost originally
about zoe and is most substantial
structure The grounds are the finest
and perhaps the best located in the
city for school purposes, and at a con-
servative estimate the grounds alone
are put at $4,000.
1t is thought by the board that in
view of the probability that the govern
ment may decide to take the present
| nigh school site at 40 distant day, the
college property would be most desir-
able for the high school. More school
room is needed, it being necessary to
occupy one of the basement rooms in
the high school building, and oy
another year additional rooms will be
necessary, The women as we'll as the
men are entitled to vote at this election
on April 3rd

The law also provides way by which
direct nominations may be secured by
the members of any party in any coun-
ty. At any county convention, held to
nominate county officers, majority of
the delegates may instill the direct
nomination system in that county. In
such case, all county officers and mem
bers of the legislature may be nominal
ed by direct vote as is now done in
Minnesota. This provision puts it in
the power of the majority of any party
to put the direct nomination system in
vogue in their county if they desire,
which provision ought to prove very
popular with those who favor direct
nominations, though many of the lead
ers OF this movement will! be satisfied
with nothing less than direct nomina-
tion of state wide application.

COMMITTEES WILL DISPATCH AFFAIRS Mayor Ward Calls His Com-
 mitteeS Together SANITATION IS DISCUSSED Clearing House Banks of Birmingham Asked to Bid for the Deposit
 of the Municipality.
 Other Matters.
SANITATION IS DISCUSSED

The indications are that the standing committees of the City Council appoint ed recently by Mayor Ward will be kept busy by the chief executive of the city. Mayor Ward will have his committees to- gether often and all matters that are referred to them will be attended to promptly. For the past few years 1t has been the custom of the chairman of the committees to get all their committees together on the afternoon of the reg ular semi monthly meeting UT the City Council. Although the next meeting of the City Council will not be held for a week, Mayor Ward has .a.en up two nights this week with committees, trans acting the affairs of the municipality.
 Last night a meeting of the police and sanitation committee, of which Alderman c. c. Heidt is chairman, was held in the Mayors office. It will be recalled that Mayor Ward in his inaugural address referred to the sanitary condition of Bir- mingham He said he was determined to clean up the city, just as soon as pos sible. This work. he says, will be pushed forward rapidly.
 Morris avenue will be given attention im- medately. It has been reported at police headauarters that at times the stench arising from decayed fruits and vege- tables along that thoroughfare are almost sickening. Chief Wier will cooperate with Mayor Ward and the City Council in every way possible to abate all nuis- ances.
 More equipment will probably soon be purchased for the street department to be used in the removal of garbage. If necessary more street sprinklers will also probably be bought. Street Commissioner McCartin was present last night and dis cussed this matter with the committee.
 The finance committee of the City Council has decided that each of the seven clearing house banks of Birming- ham shall be given an opprtunity to make A bid for the city deposit. The bank offer ing the highest rate of interest will re- ceive the fund, which for many years past has been deposited in the People s Savings Bank and Trust company. On May l7 the bids will be opened by the finance committee and the award made.
 Mayor Ward has addressed the follow ing circular letter to the clearing house banks of Birmingham:
 ''Gentlemen-At a meeting of the finance committee held May the following reso- lution was adopted:
 "'Be 1t resolved by the finance commit tee of Mayor and Aldermen of Birming- ham, that the Mayor be and is hereby in- structed to invite each clearing house bank of this city to bid in open commit- tee for the privilege of handling the gen. eral account of the city, said account to be awarded to the bank offering to nav the highest rate of interest
 "Be it further resolved, that said bids must be made at committee meeting to be held at 2:30 o'clock D. m. May 17' at city hall
 Hoping that you will appear in person and make the city as high bid as pos sible, I am very truly yours
 GEORGE B. WARD, Mayor"

- --~------------ VIADUCT NEEDS REPAIRS.
Finance Committee Considering Paw ing Twenty-first Stveet Bridge.

The finance committee of the City coun- ell still has under consideration the mat ter of paving the Twenty-first street bridge with creosoted wooden blocks. It will be recalled that the committee sev- eral days ago opened bids for this work. the lowest bid received being that of Foy & Hayes for sl65OO. The bids for the work ranged as high as s40,0O0 The matter was referred to the finance committee.
 If the work is done it will have to be paid for out of the funds of the city of Birmingham. Street improvements and storm and sanitary sewers are paid for by the property owners benefited.
 "The sum of s16.5O0 is a large one and the finance committee will proceed slow 1y in the premises" said Mayor Ward yesterday afternoon. Tt will cost sl5O0 to lay only new floor on the viaduct"
 The bridge is in bad repair and com piaints have been registered at the city hall recently. The floor is badly worn and in places 1t is dangerous to traffic.

TURN VEREIN OBSERVES
 THE SCHILLER CENTENARY

In Birmingham last night the Schiller centenary was celebrated by the Turn Verein in a way that revived the memory of one of Germany's greatest two poets. The societys rooms on First avenue, near Twenty-first street, were crowded with German-Americans among them being not few persons who lead in the social, religious, political and educational life of the city. In the public hall on the third floor of the building a large audi ence assembled at o'clock to listen to a most interesting and instructive pro- gramme, arranged by a committee con sisting of these members: The Very Rev.

COMPLAINTS MADE
 ON TRASH REMOVAL
SOUTH HIGHLANDS CITIZENS WANT GARBAGE REMOVED PROMPTLY STREET coMMIs. sloNER HANDICAPPED.

Many complaints are being made by citizens residing on the South Highlands with reference to the removal of gar- bage by the city forces. Citizens resid- ing in that section of the city say that trash ashes and other refuse is allowed to remain on their premises for a week or more at time. The alleys too need attention badly.
 Street Commissioner John M. McCartin, who Is in charge of garbage removal of the city, stated last night that trash Is being removed Just as promptly as condi- tions will permit We have a large area to cover,' said Commissioner Mccartin las. night. "Tl-e city operates just the same number of garbage carts and wagons today that it did six years ago, although Birmingham has grown steadily. ard we now have more than double the territory to go over.

 The city of Birmingham several years ago abolished the old system of letting out the garbage removal by contract, and turned it ov,r to the department of streets. Since that time Commissioner McCartin has given the matter his careful attention, and although handicapped by inadequate equipment the garbage re- moval has until recently been prompt
