TRUSSV|LLE ROUTE WILL BE SELECTED, STATESS.R R. BATSON
Highway Commission to Pass on Controversy as to the Route for State Aid
 Highway

s. R. Batson, member of the state highway commission from the Ninth congressional district, left last night for Mobile. where he will attend 8 meeting of the commission which convenes there today.
 According to Mir. Batson the com mission will at this time select the Trussville route as the official coun- ty seat to county seat highway be- tween Birmingham and Ashville, the county seat of St. Clair county This route was recommended by MT. Bat son but the board of revenue of Jefferson county did not favor the change as the Chalkville and Clay route was selected by the board several months ago.
 Opposed to Change
 At 8 recent meeting resolutions opposing the Trussville route and re- commenting the Chalkville and Clay routes were adopted by the board and forwarded to the highway com mission with the recommendation that no change be made in the plan already adopted.
 Although the highway commission Is said to have concurred in the re- commendation of Mir Batson that the Trussville route was the most feasi- ble, the matter has been reopened and data has been collected on the cost and feasibility of the two routes. This together with the ob- jections of the board of revenue to the Trussville route and the recom- mendations concurring in the selec- ton of this route adopted by the commission of St. Clair county and verbal objections will be considered by the highway commission before a definite route is selected
 Federal Aid
 When the county seat system Of highways to be built with state and federal aid was authorized In 1920 the board of revenue adopted the ChallSvllle road as it's choice. How ever, according to MT Batson when 1t was found that the Trussville road contained more mileage than the Chalkville route, and could be built with federal aid thereby saving the county several thousand dollars he recommended the adoption of that as the official route and that the Chalkville riad be constructed by the county with its own funds. AS the county can have federal aid on only one road it can build the Chalk vile road cheaper than 1t can the Trussville route.

MRS. DREN',,,2N DIES AT FLORIDA HOME
Beloved Woman Identified With Early History of City
 Called to Reward

Another pioneer citizen of Bir- mingham has passed away. Mrs. E. NJ. Drennen, widow of the. late pr Charles Drennen, died at her resi- dence in Orlando Fla, yesterday morning, after an invalidism of sew eral years She had been gradually sinking for some time, and her death was not unexpected.
 The funeral exercises and inter- ment will take place in Orlando, that having been the home of pr. and Mrs. Drennen since 1913.
 Mrs. Drennen is survived by her brother. former State Senator John F. Wilson of Blount county and the following children: Felix Drennen, Birmingham, vice president and treas urer of the Drennen Department store; Jesse L. Drennen, Birming- ham, lawyer; Drs. c. Travis and J. Ark; Mrs. F. M. Aldredge of Tulsa, Okla, and Walter Drennen of Orlan- do,s Fla.
 Mrs. Drennen was native of Blount county, coming to Birming- ham with her husband in 1882, and resided here until 1913, when her late husband moved to Orlando, in search of better health. Dr. Drennen was one of the most prominent physicians in Birmingham, and was actively in the profession here for more than 30 years. He died several years ago at an advanced age. Mrs. Drennen was S2 years of age when she died.
 The Drennen store will remain closed today out of respect to the memory of Mrs. Drennen.
 No sweeter or more loveable woman ever lived than Mrs. Drennen, her gentle Christian character manifest ing itself more especially in her home where her children and her husband received her closest attention and to which she gave her best and tenderest care.
 She was noble Christian woman. whose life lent it's influence to all those with whom she came in con tact.
 Many of the pioneer women of Bir- mingham will affectionately recall another of that fine band that has crossed the river.
