BESSEME ERCOUNC|[ WILL TRY TO AGREE IN SECRET SESSION
Special Meeting Called for Wednesday Night - AL
 Iiance Plans Auditorium
BESSEMER BUREAU THE AGE-HEkALD Resscmer. Ala. March 21

A special meeting will be held by the Bessemer city council Wednesday evening. called for the purpose of threshing out the milk inspection and to get the council to adopt a policy either for or against the coun- ty health law. The special meeting will be held behind closed doors, none being admitted but the alder men, mayor, city clerk and city at torney. No formal action will be taken but it is believed that if the aldermen representing the opposing side to the milk controversy can be allowed to talk to each other without outside suggestions or interference, the council will be able at it's next session to take a definite and final stand.
 President of the council J. w. Brooks has called the special session and Tuesday afternoon stated that it was being held for the purpose of reachng an agreement before the special election is held on April D. This election was called at the last session of the council. referring the matter to the people in an informal referendum. As this election is not binding in legal sense but simply a referendum vote it is possible that in case the councilmen can agree on definite course Wednesday eve ming, the election may be called off.
 
 past months between adoption of the county milk law which is in effect in Birmingham and Fairfield and a substitute ordinance offered by the Bessemer Dairyman's association. e The closed meeting of the council Wednesday is regarded as the last attempt to get the city fathers to agree on the matter and that failing, to allow the referendum election to settle the matter on April D.
 Following an enthusiastic meeting last week at Alliance school in which Secretary A. E. Ausman of the Bes semer Chamber of Commerce sug- gested building an auditorium with popular subscriptions, prominent res idents of the Alliance neighborhood have gotten busy with definite plans MT. Ausman outlined his plan at a meeting at the schoolhouse Friday evening, and there was an enthusi- astic response. During the past day or so leaders of the Alliance com munity have been busy enlisting the support of the patrons of the school. and will begin raising funds in the near future.
 The plan suggested was to have the men, women and children of the com munlty subscribe small amount an nually, the fund to be handled by a board of trustees and the building to be erected as the funds are paid in. In order to do this it will be neces- sary to organize building associa- tion, and plans to this end are now being worked out. The auditorium will be built on the school property and will be used as part of the school equipment as well as for a civic center

AS result of a defective fiue in the
attic Of the beautiful home of William
M. Upshur, at Cheriton, about three
miles north Of Cape Charles, the en-
tire building together with furniture
and clothing, was totally destroyed
just before noon on March 20, result
ing in a loss estimated to exceed
$1,000, part of which was covered by
insurance.
When the fire was first discovered
the entire attic and roof was in flames
and being famed by strong north
east wind and without any freight
ing devices except the bucket brigade
there was no hopes. of saving the home
or anything from the second floor. The
family, together with those that soon
gathered from the village, saved a
portion Of the furniture from the low
er floor.

The Gamers of Sussex county are
offering the farmers an opportunity to
contract to grow tomatoes at Is cents
a basket and they are meeting with a
hearty cooperation. This is unusual,
as the growers in Sussex have hereto
fore been obliged to sell in the open
market. This was unsatisfactory to
Gamers, as we'll as the growers be-
cause Of the varying prices. The can
Eer was unable to sell future products
intelligently, not knowing what his
raw product was going to cost, and
the grower was obliged to raise his
crop without any knowledge of where
he would dispose Of it or at what
price.

Rochester, N. Y, has recently pur-
chased the large catsup plant located
at Greenwood from the T. A. Snyder
Preserve Company, of Chicago, and

that section at SIS ton. This is
equivalent to Is cents a basket, should
the basket weigh only 80 1-3- pounds.
AS the average basket will weigh
heavier than this it is considered that
the Greenwood grower has a slight
advantage over his neighbors in
