LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dewberry Denies Publication

To the Editor of The. Age-Herald:
 l see in the Birmingham Ledger of November 90, a statement to the effect that the Tidewater company contemplates the beginning of work before December Sl, 1910, under it's old franchises and, if necessary, contend for an extension of rights because of the beginning of work. The statement is entirely unauthorized and incorrect. The date. December 31, 1910, under our old franchise is the date within which "cars must be operated for revenue" and not the date within which work may be begun. we are entirely dependent upon the renewal of our fran chise for any rights whatsoever.
