U. s. REGULARS
Will Pass Through the City Probably Next
 Monday.

As noted in the special dispatch to The Age-Herald from Chattanooga in yester- days paper, 24OO United States regulars, stationed in Arizona and Northwest Texas, will pass through the city in few days en route to Chickamauga Park, near Chattanooga.
 The first detachment of these troops will probably pass through the city Monday morning.
 An immense crowd of people were at the depot to see the Fifth artillery pass through the city several weeks ago, en route to Tybee and no doubt many more will be attracted by the infantry and cav airy companies that comprise this large movement of troops.
 None of the local officials of the Alabama Great Southern railroad had received any notice up to yesterday of the movement of the troops, although the contract had been made with that road to handle them from New Orleans.

Aldermen Express Themselves Vigorously
 on the Subject and Say That
THE COMPANY MUST DO BETTER
Alderman brennan Says the Amount of Mud the Water Contains More than Makes Up the Reduction of Rates
 Proposed


 mitted to the special water committee of the city council by Mir. London, of the wa ter company, showed reduction in the charges of about 10 per cent. Of course it was promptly turned down by the com mittee.
 One of the members of the committee yes terday said to an Age-Herald reporter: 'Yes, the prices submitted by Mr. London were hardly as exorbitant as those now in force, but you would have to compare the two to see the difference, so nearly are they alike. No half way measures are going. The people of Birmingham have long been paying excessive rates for water and 1t is high time that this should cease. There is no reason why such extortionate prices should be tolerated and there must be decided change and that for the bet ter.
 Thinks the Water Pure
 "As for myself, think that the water is as pure as that used by other cities of like size, but there are members of the com mittee who differ with mo on this. Some of them are determined that the water shall be filtered, but the question of rates will be the first decided. Wo are all united in the opinion that the present contract is entirely one sided and that advantage is being taken of consumers
 Alderman Mel Drennen said: '"Fhere was slight reduction in the schedule sub mitted, but for the last few days the water on the northside has been so full of mud that had MT. Londons schedule been eff fective, the price of water would be as high as ever."
 Alderman Drennen's Opinion
 MT. Drennen also expressed the convic- tion that a reform in water rates was sad t1saxr ing the matter in charge would look after the interests of the consumers and that the committee's recommendations would be adopted by the board. '.The city council is not an institution for fostering monopo- lies by any means" said MT. Drennen.
 Other members of the committee ex- pressed themselves along the same line. They are almost unanimous in the opinion that water rates are out of all proportion in comparison with the service given.
 The fight against the water company has been going for sometime. T. II. Mol ton has been the prime mover in the affair and has waged bitter war against the water company. He charges that the water company has been arbitrary in its rates and has violated its contract with the city
 Have Acted Fairy
 On the other hand the company contends that they have been fair in their dealings with the consumers and has lived up to their contract in all things. They say that their profits have been small on ac- count of the vast amounts necessary to keep up their large plants. As to the matter of pressure, they claim that they have always supplied more than their con- tract calls for. They have maintained that they are perfectly willing to do what is fair in the matter and are willing that a lower schedule of rates be arranged.
 The outcome of the matter is awaited with much interest.
