PEOPLE ARE UNCONDERNED

Ensley. December s.-(Special.) 1.-The ma
 terial advance in the license of the Bir-
 mingham Railway. Light and Power com
 pany made. by the city council last night
 was the topic of conversation on the
 streets of Ensley today.
 A majority of the business men seem to
 endorse the action of the council, most of them contending that the license is
 not any too high considering the fact that the company has two lines operating through this city and both of them doing a very large business. 1t has been claimed by people connected with the company that more freight business is done by the lines entering this city than any other
 point on the lines, including Bessemer The fact that 10 cent fare is charged on | the lines from Birmingham to Ensley is also advanced as a Justification for the advance in the license, it being claimed by many that in this way these lines are
 made to pay better than any other lines
 of the company in the district.
 When it was rumored late this afternoon
 that the company had threatened to stop the operation of cars at the city limits but one believes that the company can afford to take such a step and even if it does it is contended that the city of Ensley
 can stand the inconvenience as well as the railway company.
