FAVISH'S OFFER
MAY BE ACCEPTED
Commissioners Will Probably Use
Trash Cans for Downtown Streets
if No Objection Is Made

The commissioners are seriously con-
sidering the offer of e. W. Favish to
give the city some hundred odd trash
cans to be placed on the downtown cor
ners.
They stated yesterday that they were
anxious to get expressions from people
who are in any way interested in the
matter. The plan is to place unobject-
ionable advertising on the cans, the city
the first year to receive one-third of the
proceeds and the second year one-half
of the proceeds. The cans are of neat,
modern design, made out of galvanized
iron and neatly painted. They will be
donated by Mr. Favish.
1t is estimated that the first year the
city would get about 5000 as its share
of the receipts. The second year the
city would get 5000 or over for its share
of the receipts.
Unless some serious objection is raised
by the citizens in the near future the
commissioners are rather inclined to try
out the plan, on the ground that a city
in as bad financial shape as Birmingham
cannot scoff at $4,000 or $4,000 a year

NOON SERV|CESA ARE
HELD DURING LENT
Ash Wednesday Observed
Yesterday as a Day of
Special Devotion

yesterday being Ash Wednesday was
observed in all the Catholic churches in
the city as day of special devotion Tho
usual services of the mass were followed
by the distribution OF blessed ashes which
are laid upon the forehead of each mem
Der of the congregation as they kneel at
the communion rail. AS Ash Wednesday
Is the beginning of the 40 days of Lent
the ashes are used as a symbol of the
penitential spirit whicl, the Catholic ex-
poets its members to observe during that
season
Notwithstanding the inclement weather
a very large congregation filled ST. Paui's
at the u o'clock mass. This is the first
time this service has been held in Br-
mingham, and the attendance yesterday
was source Of great pleasure TO the
pastor, the Reverend Father Coyle Ac-
cording to announcement, this service
will be held every Gay at noon during
Lent, and in addition there will be serv-
ices on Wednesday evenings consisting of
rosary and sermon, and on Friday even
ings, The Way of the Cross, followed
by henediction.
In speaking of the noon mass yester-
day, Father Coyle said that similar serv-
ices had been held for several years past
IN New York, Chicago and other big
cities, but that Birmingham was the first
southern city to Introduce the service He
expressed himself as very much pleased
with the attendance and felt sure the
practice would soon recommend itself to
every Catholic in the parish
The services are short are omen to
the public and there's no collection taken

TRACK QUESTION IS
POSTPONED A WEEK
Counsel for B. r., l.. 4 P.
Co. Unable to Be Present
on Account of Illness

ON account of the inability of At
torney Lee Bradley to be present. the
arguments on the proposition as to
whether or not the Tidewater Railway
company can use the tracks of the
Birmingham Railway, Light and Power
company was postponed yesterday un-
til March 5, week from today.
Mr. Bradley is counsel for the Bir-
mingham Railway, Light and Power
company and was forced to be absent
through illness in his family. As the
commissioners are desirous of hearing
what will be the arguments of the
birmingham Railway, Light and Power
company, or the grounds upon which
they will contest the right of the city
to allow another street car company
to use their tracks, the postponement
was readily agreed to.
General Manager Brown, Attorney
Forney Johnston and other officials Of
the Tidewater were present yesterday
afternoon at 8 o'clock, for which time
the meeting had been set. A tele-
phone message from President A. H.
Ford of the Birmingham Railway,
blight and Power company asked for
the delay of a week.
There appears now but little doubt
but what the Tidewater will be grant
ed franchise to build a general street
car system throughout the city and
n fight will be precipitated between
that company and the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company in
the courts ever the right of the Tide
water to use the downtown tracks of
the other company.
