LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
I notice that the city council recon-
mended the sale of the North Birming-
Waterworks company; same to be voted
on by the citizens of Birmingham at
the city election to be held Septem-
Der 10.
North Birmingham waterwoks since
the first of last January at a handsome
profit, and in my judgment 1t would
be taking a long step backward to
sell it.
What we need most now is municipal
ownership of waterworks. We are pay
ing an excessively high water rent;
about twice as much as the citizens of
Atlanta, Ca, have to pay. Why is it?
Because Atlanta owns it's own water
works and gives its citizens the ben
eft of the profits. Here the water
works is owned by corporation and
the profits go to the stockholders.
Instead of the waterworks company
owning and controlling the city 1 want
to see the city own and control the
waterworks.
With that end in view, l hope that
every public spirited citizen of Bir-
mingham will use his influence and vote
against the sale OF the North Birming-
ham waterworks to the Birmingham
Waterworks Company.

COALITION RUM0R
GIVEN CREDENCE
MANY RELIEVE THAT THOMPSON
MAY WITHDRAW FROM RACE IN
FAVOR OF WALTER d. SEED FOR
GOVERNOR

Montgomery, August 13.-(Speciai)-
Much interest attaches here to rumor
of a possible coalition between statewide
prohibitionists and republicans to elect
Walter D. Seed, nominee Of the democrats
for lieutenant governor, to the governor
ship over Emmett O'Neal. the nominee for
that high office.
O'Neal was nominated as local option
man.
The story goes that Joe Thompson, re-
publican nominee for governor, may come
down and throw the republican strength
to Seed, and that statewider democrats
may center shot him, hoping that the
strength of the two would put Seed In.
Seed has said that he will support the
nominees of the democrats, but has not
SO far pledged support to the platform.
Conferences of statewide prohibitionists
have been heard of recently, and there
are many who think there is something
In the talk 1t is understood that con-
ference to this end has been called to
be held in a few days at Birmingham The
belief is that Mr. Seed himself has no
hand in the movement

ALDERMAN HARPER
ON ELECTRIC RATES

1.-THE investigation and agitation that is
cost of electric current should be en-
couraged," said Alderman ]. Phil Harper
yesterday. From the lights before me.
It seems that relief should be given IN
some way by the City Council; however,
there is a permanent alienation of this
matter to the citizens Of Greater Bir-
mingham, In my opinion. The point Is
this: Birmingham now owns light plant
which it inherited from North Birming
ham. This very small plant has been
operated at a profit, and when the right
intention comes over the city, this can
be done in the future. If this little cleo
trio mill is not large enough 1t would
cost but little to make it so, or even build
another in a more desirable place. The
city could furnish current to ITSELF its
merchants and residents only, at least, at
a lower rate than is now being charged
by the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company.
THE city will have to operate no street
car system, and hence there is no need
of a large plant. In this way the entire
city. from center to circumference, could
be brilliantly lighted. Other cities have
done this and are doing it. They are
paying the interest on the money bor-
rowed to build the plant, they have a
sinking fund to pay off the principal, and
have money left over from the earnings
to help defray the current expenses of the
city. I shall introduce a resolution sub
stantially to this end at the next meeting
of the council II the council should re-
fust to take 1t up, then I believe the cit
izens themselves could establish a plant
and operate 1t at profit"
