e,,n,ent in the petition for injunction filed some days ago by ]. l.. Pike ana others of Brighton, against the Jefferson county hoard of education, will be heard in the Birmingham city court before Judge Fer guson tomorrow morning at o'clock
 The petition seeks to enjoin the county board of education from paying any part of the state school fund to Prof. B. F. Crump for services as principal or the Brighton public schools.
 The petitioners are represented by At torney Pinkney Scott of Bessemer, while Professor Crump Is represented by Attor- ney John Miller of Birmingham.
 It is claimed In the petition that Fro lessor Crump was not legally elected to the position which he holds in that ne was elected by two of the school trustees and not by five trustees to which It is claimed the district is entitled under the new school law. It is claimed by Pike and others represented in the petition that the Brighton school should be under direct supervision of local board or five trustees, independent of the county board of education, who should not only have full charge of the selection of teach CTS but should receive and pay out or the school fund without having to come through the county superintendent of edu- cation.
 The county board of education and the state school authorities have refused to recognize Brighton as district coming under this rule and have endorsed the local board of trustees and Professor Crump.
 It Is this contention that has caused the trouble between Professor Crump and his supporters and Pike and his asso- ciates The result of the injunction pro- ceeding will be watched with interest not only by the people in this section but over the state
 Water at Brighton.
 The town of Brighton is to have water supply which will be connected with the Bessemer system, Whlch IS sup piled by Adler & Go.
 The board of mayor and aldermen of the town of Brighton have just closed a contract with this company whereby the town is to be supplied with water Tor fire protection and domestic use TOT term of thirty years. The system is to be completed within six months from the time the contract Is signed.
 The town has contracted for nine hre plugs for which an annual rental or $5o each, Is to be paid.
 The rate for water for domestic pur- poses is considered to be very reasonable and is said to be cheaper than the water supplied to the people of Bessemer
 Adler 6 Co. some time ago made a proposition to the town of Brighton for the building of sewer system to connect %tx 4f 1,n Tnff sewers which runs through the heart Of the town. but when the proposition was submitted to the people considerable op- position developed and the matter was de- ferred until a special act of the legisla- ture can be had authorizing the building Of the system by the town council.
 It was known that the system could be built very cheaply and that the cost to the citizens of the town would be nominal, but as the town charter does not provide for the taxation of the cit izens for sanitary purposes 1t was de- cided not to attempt the building or the system until an act could be passed regu- lating the matter.
