MIR. TAYLOR SPEAKS
FIRST DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN IN SELMA.
New Member of Rivers and Harhors Committee Pledges His Best
 Efforts to Support of
 the Waterways.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma, January 6.
 In the rooms of the Commercial and Industrial Association to a representa- tive audience of business men at II o'clock this morning. Hon. G. w. Taylor, member of the Rivers and Har-y bors Committee of Congress, talked enI tertainingly upon the question of the improvement of the waterways of Ala bama.
 MT. Taylor came to Selma this morn ing from his home in Demopolis and upon his arrival was met at the union railway station by J. B. Ellis, who es- corted him to the rooms of the Asso- citation.
 Upon the arrival of Mir. Taylor the meeting was called to order by E. F.. Ullman, President of the Association. Mir. Taylor was introduced and to his auditors he said he had come with no prepared speech for the occasion but that he would talk over with them the great matter of the improvement of the waterways of the State.
 He told how he had left the Commit tee on Appropriations after he had nearly risen to the head of 1t, to ac- cept the tail-end position on the Con- gressional Committee on Rivers and Harbors. He thought 1t was the will of the people of Alabama for him to do so and without any hesitancy he had aCCeueo 10 tnelr u0tnauuS TOT ne nau received letters and requests from ev- cry city in the State, 1t being believed that he could do the State at large more good as a member of this Com mittee than he could upon the one which he had served for many years.
 Though the youngest member of the Rivers and Harbors Committee he said that he held the key to the situation and the workings of that committee and that the words of praise which he thought the people would bestow upon him for his efforts in getting Congress to improve the streams of the State would make up for all other honors and emoluments. His attachment was for Alabama first and the general country second and his attachment for his home would cause him to work all the harder to get Congress to carry out the wishes of his people. A
 Mir. Taylor spoke of the general workings of the Committee ofe which he had just been appointed member, of his great love for Mobile, Montgom- cry, Selma and all the rest of the State and how he wanted to see the rivers of the State improved so that these cities and the State would prosper and grow

Gas & Electric company, which is seek
ing franchise was scheduled to be
held this afternoon for the purpose of
going over the franchise.
While Mayor Becker is known to be
opposed to the franchise and the board
of public works is simply ignoring the
matter the stockholders are piqued and
will force the question to an issue.
Mayor Becker and the board are rails
ing objections to the franchise to be
granted on the grounds that the new
company is not offering any material
reduction in the price of light or gas,
that laying of the new pipes and con-
duits would necessitate the reopening
OF the paved streets and that the COM
pany reserves the right of going where
it desires without giving the outlying
districts any service.
The stockholders in the company who
will talk on the subject deny these
allegations and say they are ready to
go over each clause with the admins
able in their demands.

pany has patiently waited. Now, how
