TRUSS SUGGESTS AFOREMENTIONED A
 TWO DEPARTMENTS
Barber Objected to Plan and Gave Unsolicited Ad- vice - School Site in
 West End Purchased

Birmingham's municipal building failed to echo any oratory to give exodus to any uncorked personal feeling, or to contain any thing that sounded like big story on yesterday when the city commission met in regular weekly ses- sion There was but one threat of some thing doing, and that came in the first innings of the morning session, when Commissioner Truss suggested that the garbage and street cleaning departments wed" just for the sake of economy. believing that the theory that two can live as cheap as one should become mu- nicipally applied.
 To this suggestion MT. Barber rallied to expectations and made opposition. MT. Truss explained that short forces made his street work extremely diff cult, and that the combination might work to better advantage. MT. Barber advised MT. Truss to employ free labor for the street cleaning. and to divert the 10 prisoners being used for this work now into the street repair depart ment, to which Mr. Truss demurred, when he informed his colleague that he was not seeking advice about how to run his department, but merely wanted labor to do the work with.
 The commission purchased the school site in West End, located on Jefferson avenue, near Cleveland station. contain ing full block, known as the DeJar- nette property, paying for the same s6500. The suggestion that the owner would donate $50 to have the school named for him revealed the fact that a man must die before a school can be named for him. according to the established rule of the city.
 The S250000 derived from the sale of school bonds will be placed in the bank pending the time when the funds are needed to make payments on school buildings soon to be erected. This ac- tion was taken to save the interest, which would be transferred to the sink ing fund, al purchaser of the bonds, if the bonds were turned over to that fund

At the Lyric

One of the best entertainments recent ly offered is at the Lyric according to the verdict of vaudeville lovers of Bir- mingham and every act is highly enter taining. The Royal Hussar Female Sex tette is an extravagant act, presented by talented instrumentsSists. They render a programme ranging from ragtime to classical airs. Sid Lewis, the original nut" is one of the big hits. This act is a riot. Morgan and Armstrong are a clever team who have made good with Birmingham audiences. Both are good singers.
 s The Webber Trio are three girls who sing, dance and who are clever acrobats. This act opens the bill and is exception ally entertaining. Mosher, Hayes and Mosher are cyclists with few peers and they perform some wonderful stunts on bicycles Pathe news pictures feature all performances at the Lyric.
 At LOew's Bijou
 The excellence of the programme at Loew's Bijou today is evidenced by the crowds that have been in attend ance at each performance this week. The Loew policy of superior vaudeville and first run pictures, courteous treat ment and comfortable surroundings has proven a winner and many regu- lar patrons to the Bijou are added ev- cry day. Jarrow. the famous European sleight of hand artist, mystifies and amuses with his clever and entirely original performance. Kay and Ham ilton, couple of clever musical com edy stars, are very pleasing. Texico and company in surprise dancing novelty are entertaining and the OK ford Trio, expert cyclists, do some wonderful stunts.
