BIRMINGHAM MEDICAL COLLEGE
 MAY BECOME PART OF UNIVERSITY

Montgomery, July 29.-(Special)- Governor O'Neal will call meeting of the trustees of the University of Ala bama for September 16 to consider the proposition of absorbing as an adjunct of the State University the medical col lege of Birmingham, to be operated in connection with the medical college at Mobile, and as a branch of the state educational system.
 The governors decision to call a meeting of the trustees of the univer- sity of Alabama, which will probably be held at Tuscaloosa, followed a con ference today with a prominent delega- tion from Birmingham. This delega tion is interested in .he proposed change, and they made a tentative off fer to the governor of the Birmingham Medical college, which, together with all property and equipment, is valued at s60. 900. The only concession they asked in return was that the Birmingham Medical college be recognized as an ad- junct of the University of Alabama. with the privilege of doing two years advanced practical and clinical work.
 The delegation from Birmingham was composed of Sidney J. Bowie and Com missioner James Weatherly, acting as trustees of the Birmingham Medical col lege; pr. Lewis Morris; Dr. E. P. Hogan, pr D. F. Talley and pr. ]. s. McLester, the four physicians being financially in- terested in the institution.
 The plan as outlined to the governor by the delegation comprises the ab sorption of the medical college at Bir- mingham chiefly for clinical and practi- cal purposes. In favor of the proposed change the delegation represented to the governor that Birmingham is an ideal city for the establishment of an advanced medical college, particularly in view of the fact that the hospital in that city is one of the lest in the south, and because of the fact that the college would draw large number of patients for pratical end clinical pur- poses, an advantage which is not of- fered by the city of Mobile.
 The delegation announced that the Birmingham Medical college would be willing to transfer its students to Mo- bile for the first two years work, dur

IN
MAIL DELIVERY
Carriers in Northern Part
of City to Work From
Central Office.

Better mail service is planned by the
postoffice department as the result of
several changes that have been made in
the schedule and the arrangements of
the carrier runs.
Two carriers have been directed to
report at the central office hereafter.
instead Of at the sub station at Thir-
teenth and Eastman streets. The pa
irons in the northern portion of the
city will be served directly from the
central office hereafter and will get
their mail much sooner and easier than
under the old methods. The postmas
ter and his assistant Charles o. Nell
son. believe that this scheme will ma
terially add to the benefit of the serv-
ice and will give quicker deliveries all
through the northern section.
The postmaster announces that in
stead of holding the mail that came in
for the northern part of the city until
the next day. it viii be delivered on
the day that it arrives in the postoffice
here Collections at the boxes and mail
taken up by the carriers along the
noon trains hereafter, which was not
possible under the old system.
The Improvement in the car service
has made it possible for more adequate
mail deliveries The city ordinance
recently passed by the council has en-
abled the carriers to ride on the cars
without charge whenever they are in
uniform. This gives them chance to
take larger load of mail and to get
over their routes much earlier. The
belt line now runs past station A and
gives the carriers in that section an
opportunity to take their mail directly
from the office to the district in a few
minutes. Carriers Ross Miner and
George Nelson were transferred, under
an order from the department, to the
central station for work.
The Christmas rush is being antici-
pated by the postoffice officials and
additional clerks and carrier allowances
have been asked of the department al
Washington. Additional post o IN 6
boxes will soon be installed in the
office. All Of those already in the
building have been rented. The in
crease in business makes new SCI
necessary
