FRUIT STANDS TO
 BE UNMOLESTED

is one of extreme difficuliv to me; and these authorities cited by me, and others read, might lead another to the contrary conclusion. It is one of those questions which must be decided by the Supreme tribunal of the state, before there can be a positive declaration of the law. Tn conclusion, I desire to say, how ever, that although in my opinion the fruitstands are legally on the streets, the privilege is being abused. They should be regulated to conform to section ? of the fruit stand act, which provide that no stand shall project upon any sidewalk more than three feet. And the city or dinance should be strictly enforced as to the accumulation of refuse, etc., in their vicinity.
 q remain very respectfully,

JOHNSTON LOSES
 CASE AGAINSTL &N,
Decision Important to the Ship
 pers of Alabama
MUST STATE DESTINATION
Car Which Was Intended for AvOndale Was Marked Birmingham and Delay of 2s Days In DeIiv-
 cry Was Caused.

Montgomery, December 16.-(Special)- In the case of T. H. Johnston & Co.,, of Birmingham, claiming demurrage from the Louisville and Nashville railroad the railroad commission today delivered the following decree of importance to ship pers:
 T. H. Johnston & Co vs. Louisville and
 Nashville Railroad Company-Claim for
 Demurrage for Failure to Deliver cars.
 This cause was heard before the rail- road commission of Alabama on Monday, the first day of December, lsoz.
 The commission, after considering all the facts as shown by the evidence in said cause. rendered the following opin- ion. to-wit:
 The complainant shipped a carload of lumber from Oeampo, Ala, over the lines of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company to Avondale, Ala, near the city of Birmingham, Ala, which latter point was not located on the lines of the Louis- vile and Nashville Railroad company. The bill of lading named Birmingham, Ala, as the point of destination. When the car arrived at the city of Birming- ham the carrying road was instructed by the consignee to deliver it to one or the other of the railroads passing through Avondale, Ala, to be by said road transferred to Avondale, Ala. Twen- ty-eight days delay occurred before this delivery was made to the connecting road. Under the rule of the commission, when this car was delivered in Birmingham and the consignee notified, the contract of af- freightment as expressed in the bill of lading was completed so far as the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany was concerned, subject only to the rule that as to any point upon it's own lines the further duty would be involved of placing this car at an accessible point for unloading. No demurrage charge can be collected against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company for failure to deliver this car to the connecting line under the bill of lading naming Birming- ham as the point of destination.
 To. avoid delays in cases of this char acter the consignee should make a new contract of affreightment with the con- meeting line or name the point of final destination in the original bill of lading Should damage accrue to consIgnee under circumstances of this character, It would become matter for adjudication by the courts instead of a claim for demurrage before the commission. The application of complainant for demurrage charges In this cause is therefore dismissed.
 Done at the office of the railroad com mission of Alabama this, the 1st day of December, 1902. JOHN V. SMITH, w. c. TUNSTALL,
 Associate Commissioner
