 J. M. Perkins: Most assuredly. yes. I believe that Ensley has lost slOOoo0 in business during the past five years on account of the unjust discrimination that has been made against this city by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. Ensley Is the only suburb of Birmingham that does not furnish homes for business men doing business in Bir- mingham. They VIII not locate here with the 10 cent faresa vogue. while if we were on the same footing with other suburbs in the matter of carfare we would get many residents who locate elsewhere"
 F. M. Slye: T am most heartily in fla sor of a reduction in the car fare Dozens of people are buying homes and build ing out beyond Fairview within the cent fare limit who would build in Ems ley if they had the same car advantages. I consider the discrimination unjust and very detrimental to the prosperity of Ensley."
