noised about for some time that such q
movement was on foot, but not until yes

was held at the Office of Dr. L. G. Jones,
temporary chairman. d. H. Bowlin called
the meeting to order, and the organization
was complete F. B. Carpenter, ST., was
named as secretary pro TEN.
The enrolling of subscriptions to stock
was taken up, after statement of the OBJ

of the $4,000 which is to be paid up was
readily subscribed. 1t Is the plan of the
company to open operation by January
2, and a committee was appointed to ar
range for a location with a view to an
immediate start.
A committee was also named to solicit
subscribers to the $500 of the paid-up

company for the same just as soon as
I1dewater is out of the way.
There are, of course, sincere men
who would prefer a few changes in the
franchise in some parts, and the same
Is true OF the company itself. but we
must all realize that the franchise
must pass exactly as it is or not pass
at all. No one Is warranted in the be-
lief that the Mayor would approve tn e
Underwater franchise in any form what
soever All amendments, together
with the franchise ITSELF if amended
would have to go through the Mayor s
office, be vetoed and sent back again
to the council, requiring several weeks
more time, within which time the local

Everybody knows that the fight against
the Tidewater franchise is by the Biz
lningham Railway, Light and Power
company, whose bond advertisements in
the financial papers boast that they have
"A complete monopoly of the street rail-
way, electric lighting and gas privileges
OF the Birmingham district
The two most fragrant instances OF m
reference by the bankers who floated the
watered securities of the local monopoly
were disclosed to me in confidence, anu
1 am not at liberty to state the clrcum-
stances The proposition had been &C
cepted and these parties retired IRON II
under direct pressure. However, the 1oi-
lowing specific instances will illustrate
their method:
In the summer Of 1907 we had favor
able negotiations pending with N. w
Halsey & Co., bankers of New YORK, to
take our bonds. Mr.. F. T. Mcguire, No
10 Wall street a friend of Mr.. Halsey' S,
was placed upon our board of directors
relieving that everything was in good
shape, Mr.. Halsey went to California &c
look after other interests. When the
facts became known to the banking house
of N. w. Harris 81 Co., who were inter
ested in the bonds of the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company, they
nj once demanded of n. w. Hhlsey x
Co that they withdraw from the deal
Mr.. Halsey was notified and promptly
wired Mr. Mcguire that he regretted 70
withdraw from the Tidewater PROPOSE
ton, which he did at the request of n.
w. Harris &, Co., and asking Mcguire to
resign from our board of directors. MI
Halsey also confirmed the telegram by
letter. and the writer saw both the tele-
gram and the letter.
Again we had arranged with the Mer-
camille Trust company of St. Louis fol-
a loan of 81, 10000 with which to build the
Birmingham division of the line from
East Lake to Bessemer and our Mr.
Morris was called to St Louis to sign uI
the papers. Unfortunately for as, how
ever, the Mercantile Trust company had
just purchased large quantity of the

bonds of the New Orleans street railway,
in which Isadore Newman & Son, bank
ers of New York, and owners of the BIZ
;nlngham Railway, Light and Power COM
pany, were also interested. Learning the
facts, the Newman interests demanded
that the Mercantile Trust company with
draw from one or the other of the deals
with the result that the Mercantile Trust
company was compelled to decline our
loan.
And again, Mr.. Jake" Newman, who
is we'll known in Birmingham, ap-
preached Mr. J. A Vandegrift, who then
had the contract to build our line, and
requested him to drop the proposition"
or he would see to it that he (Vande-
grift) should lose every cent that he put
into 1t.
I could give other instances, and 1t is
for these reasons that we have not
made public the names of the bankers
in New York who are associated with
Morris Brothers, of Philadelphia, in
underwriting our bonds. We fear that
the Newman interests would find some
way to bring pressure to bear upon
them to withdraw from the proposition
before the franchise is granted and the
work started. We are therefore ner-
vous over the delay that would be oc-
casioned by amending the franchise
and sincerely hope that at the next
meeting of the City Council the matter
will be finally disposed of. We are
profoundly convinced that the present
and future welfare of tn city, and that
the rights of our citizens. are involved
The fight is not merely against the
Tidewater company, but would be
against any effort to break the existing
monopy. Now that we have definite
plans and that our financial arrange
ments are perfected and the opportu-
nitv therefore offered to accomplish
this much needed result, we feel that
it would be forever regretful fact,
should the Tidewater franchise be de-
