SAVED TELEGRAPH COMPANY EXPENSE OF A LAWSUIT. FREQUENTLY OF AID TO POLICE

The removal department of the Bir- mingham Retail Furniture Dealers asso- citation has many times more than justi- fled it's existence, according to the local manager of one of the telegraph com panies. This department was created a few years ago by the furniture mems as- sociation, when the city of Birmingham passed an ordinance compelling draymen and transfer companies to turn into the police or another designated authority the names and addresses of all persons who remove from one address to another Both the old and new address must be given and the Birmingham Retail Furniture Dealers association was designated by the city commission to receive and file the reports.
 The police many times have found the record useful in locating friends of visi- tors to the city and last week one of the local telegraph companies was saved the annoyance and expense of lawsuit be- cause of the record.
 According to the manager of the com pany, a message was received and sent to the address given. The messenger boy was sent three times on the errand but could not locate the addressee and the message was undelivered.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

init that the Birmingham public school system is thorough. in fact nearly perfect. For this We must of course thank Dr. Phillips. who by his organization has got together such an efficient staff and as the father of two children. who are doing well. l do most heartily thank him
 As to the glorious rhetorical flourish with which Mir. Schultz concludes his let ter with regard to the aggressor never reaching Old Glory except over the dead bodies of the naturalzed citizens. maybe he is right. I hope so. l feel better sat ished when I realize that out of popula- tion of 100 00o0,o00 there are still 677b7,oo0 native born Americans, not of foreign de- scent who can be absolutely relied on to uphold both their flag and their culture.
 In conclusion. I would suggest. in or der that the sensitive souls of the g. .243 600 people of foreign birth or descent should remain unruffled, and their unanimity re- main intact, that the commencement exer- eises in the public schools should com mence with ''Deutchland. Deutschland uber alles' sung by the school choir and in response to the rapturous encore, at east one verse of that lesser known song, com mencing, "Oh' Say Can You See. be sung not because of Its sentiments, but as a slight concession to those Americans of American parentage who spell culture with 'c." Yours very truly.

ROUTINE BUSINESS BEFORE COMMISSION
Lengthy Arguments Over Change in Transfer Point
 to EdgewOOd Car Line

Two hours of the city commission s 1 time was taken up yesterday with argu- ments from opposing sides regarding the i, transfer point between the South High lands and Edgewood car lines. The com mission has taken the matter under con sideration.
 delegation headed by Attorney Dun- can Trimble asked that the terminus of the two lines be changed from Fifteenth avenue and Twenty-first street, back to Fifteenth avenue and Twentieth street, where it has been until a few days ago. James Bowron opposed the changing of the terminus to the old place.
 Arguments of both sides were that the terminus caused congregation of passen- gers at all hours of the day and night in front of their residences, which was decided nuisance and annoyance' Mr. Bowron urged that instead of moving the terminue back in front of his home that it be moved on out to the city limits on top of Red mountain, where, he said. it belonged.
 No action of importance was taken by the commission yesterday The city en- gineer and city attorney were ordered to conduct the details of the negotiations with the Birmingham Waterworks com pany toward buying the plant. The peti- tion of Hugh Friel for an electric light and power franchise was received and filed, as was also the report of the board of public welfare. which was published in Sundays Age-Herald.
 Some of the more important routine matters acted upon were as follows:
 Declined offer of Mrs. Margaret Can non to sell city right of way for sanitary sewer in East Birmingham and directed city attorney to proceed with condemna- ton proceedings.
 Ordered fire hydrant installed at Bes- sic avenue and Twenty-sixth street, Ems ley
 Directed city clerk to notify Birming- ham Waterworks company that city will not pay for relaying or removing its pipes in highways so as to conform to the established grades of streets and high ways.
