Mr comer Leaves.


 MT. Conner had left the hall and Major Mcconnell rose to say that he thought Mr. Pearson was mistaken In his inter pretation of MT. Comers remarks. Ma for Mcdonnell understood MT. Conner to refer to the debauchery in Philadeiphia and New York.
 George H. Estes said the Constitutlonai Convention was wise in putting a nmit of thirty years on franchises. Thirty years was long enough, he said, and this meeting Is asked to recommend the City Council to do the very thing that the constitution prohibits. He said the people nted transfers but could not get them. He did not consider $100 Q block, which the Railway, Light and Power Company proposed to pay, as amounting 70 any thing. Another thing the Commercial Club had nothing to do wa the matter. he said He took the ground that the aldermen should be sustained and that the meeting should let them know that they had done right and not undertake to turn them down.
 President Exum stated his position Tn calling the meeting He wished 1t under stood that he only called IL at the request of some of the members
 H. M Harton said he agreed with MT. Steiner in most that he said. The com pany ought to have what 1t asked In the way of extensions but he was opposed to letting 1t have any more terminals He did not want 1t to have monopoly and insisted particularly in keeping Third avenue intact. MT. Harton referred to the fact that he had been associated with the gentlemen who recently tried to get A franchise Those men asked for only A thirty-year franchise, he said. If the present company only asked Tor exten- sions he was in favor of the request but not, he said, to the exclusion of competi- tors. bought but that could not be developed without these street car extensions Aside from personal reasons, he thought the franchise should be granted, for peo- pie were clamoring for the CATS He as- serted that the principal opposition, was from people who had car lines at their doors. The people who have car facilities should not try to impede the progress of the city. This movement or reopening of the matter was not organized by the street car company. MT. Jemison, he said, had turned down the proposition of the council and it was for the people to act now. MT. Yancey then offered this resolution: t-f
 '"rhat it is the sense of this meeting that it will be to the interest of the city of Birmingham that the rights and fran chises asked for by the Birmingham Rail- way. Light and Power Company for the extension of it's present lines be granted and that the Mayor and Aldermen are hereby requested to grant the same" Offers an Amendment.
 l Mir. Steiner offered this amendment: ] Provided that compensation satisfactory 1 to the aldermen, either in lump sum or in per centage of net earrings be paid by | the company in consideration of such franchise; and provided further that transfers be granted over all of its lines at one fare, such transfers to apply to all it's lines now in operation and that may hereafter be constructed and oper- ated by said company and that said trans | fers take effect within six months from date of franchise.
 Mir. Estes offered another amendment

Richmond and Rivers say they were with Oscar Lee on the night of the shooting and were sitting in doorway in Second alley eating apples when Po- Iiceman Richardson started towards them.

On It's Merits.

Mir. Steiner then went on to say that the city had been ridden by corporations, but this proposition should be treated en- tirely on its merits. He said If he were on the board he would grant the com pany's request but he would exact certain conditions. But reverting to the fran chise he said the company had issued bonds based on perpetual rights and asked what would become of a scheme to float bonds on part of the system that was good for only thirty years. He thought in justice to the company it should have the same kind of franchise for It's extension.
 MT. Steiner was asked the question ''Wnl there be no more railroads built after the constitution Is ratified?" | MT. Steiner--Yes. They can be built on short bonds.
 | MT. Steiner continued: Let the alder men say, give us 10 per cent of your net | earnings. I believe the company might give per cent on every thing in perpet- uity. But 30 years is not practical as the matter now stands"

declared that thirty years should be the limit.
 You are trying to force the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to do what 1t ought not to do," said MT. Conner. He reiterated the point in the new constitu- tion. and said the restraining thirty-year clause was the best thing in the instru- ment He took the ground that the fran chise question had debauched Philadel- phia, New York, and other cities He re- viewed the history of Birmingham fran chlses, and closed by saying that if the Mayor and Aldermen gave the company more than thirty years they might live to regret 1t.
 Mir. Steiner said If he were asked if a thirty year franchise wasn't long enough for street railroad company his answer would be yes" But he thought every case should be considered separately.
 If this company has perpetual fran chise now, 1t should not have less for it's proposed extension. The city may have erred in the past. But that is not the question. If there were no lines here would say a thirty year franchise would be enough. or even ten year franchise But what company is coming to build little pieces of line. Here Is proposition simply to extend. If a competing com paDy should come it could run over three consecutive blocks of the Railway, Light and Power Company's lines. But will any other company cone?'

 Yesterday afternoon a man came to the office of Chief of Police Austin and said he knew both Mir. Lee and his son Oscar. He said the boy had always been very wild and was once placed in reform school.

Replies to MT. Conner.

Mir. Pearson took the floor again to re- ply to the remarks made by MT. Conner. He said Mir. Conner had undertaken, he thought, to create the. impression that enormous privileges and favors had been given to the corporations of Birmingham. He said that those who had been con- nected with corporations knew what a hard experience they had to go through Stockholders had to give up great deal to keep them from stopping. MT. Conner, he thought. had insinuated that great outrages had been committed and these insinuations were not true in fact. The losses he said had been on the railraods. Since then Birmingham had grown, he said, and It was unjust and unfair to pre- judice the people against corporations The railroads had been the greatest of all benefits, MT. Pearson maintained, and for a citizen who ought to know better to stand up and assert that franchises had been the cause of debauchery was very unfair.
