WHAT CITIZENS THINK
 OF 10 YEAR CONTRACT

That is the first consideration. I think
 they have been given valuable rights
 here which is only fair. They make an
 offer giving the citizens the right to elect
 whether the company will be patronized
 or not. The city has the right to buy from it's own plant. The only condi-
 ton, it seems to me, is a 10 year con-
 tract. am in favor of allowing it."
 Mitchell Coxwell of the Southern rail- way. q think the contract offered by the Birmingham Railway, Light and
 Power company is a good one.
 "It reduces the bill of each buyer of electricity am allowed to buy my lights from another concern at any
 time. I do not see that I am penalized in the slightest degree. I-think the con- tract for the city should be adopted P. IT. Linnehan, jeweler "I have ab-
 solute faith in the judgment of Com
 missioner Lane and whatever he de- | cides to do In the matter of the 10 year
 contract between the city and the Blr-
 mingham Railway, Light and Power company will be satisfactory to me. l Tt is step that should be approach ed carefully and while I don't see that I the company is giving the city so much 1 still the corporation has money invested here and has side of the question also | think five year contract would be the
 best solution for both parties concerned,

 the Birmingham Railway Light and Pow CT company had submitted the lowest bid, I would be in favor of signing 8 | 10 year contract with them. But I dc
 not think Birmingham should close al channels for outsiders to come in fol
 the next 10 years, as a contract of this term would mean.
 ..The 5 cent fare to Ensley should b<

COL. MOULTHROP IS TART
 IN HIS REPLY TO O'NEAL
SENATOR FROM BARBOUR COUNTY WAS YESTERDAY RE- LEVIED FROM DUTY ON THE GOVERNORS STAFF

Col. Robert l.. Moulthrop, president of the Southern States Fire and Casu- alty company, with offices in Birming- ham. and state senator from Barbour county, yesterday received formal mo- tice from Governor O'Neal that he had been relieved from further duties on the governors military staff of which he was assistant quartermaster gen eral
 Colonel Moulthrop last night issued a statement in reply in which he chal- lenges Governor O'Neal to joint in- vestigation of "our social, political and moral characters In his statement Coolnel Moulthrop says:
 By virtue of the power vested in Emmet ONeal, governor of the state of Alabama, I have been removed by him from further service on his mil itary staff.
 "On account of the recent actions of the governor, I can readily understand his motive in relieving me of my com- mission at this time. I am thankful. however. that the only justification ne can offer in his behalf Is the fact that I am a personal friend of Col. Peyton c. Bowman.
 "If Governor O'Neal were capable of appreciating the ties that bind one friend to another, l am convinced that he would not have acted so hastily, and if had been during all these years as untrue to my friends as he him. self has been my present friends in Alabama would not have numbered any greater than those he claims today.
 Now, Governor O'Neal, as investiga- tions appear to be your idol at this particular time. I challenge you for q joint investigation of our social, po- litical and moral characters. l would not have you think for one moment that you have reflected any discredit on me by your recent action, Tor assure you such is not the case. The people of the state of Alabama know Emmet O'Neal; they also know Bot

Among the citizens interviewed yester- day on the 10 year contract with the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company are the following:
 , J. D. Matloek said: q have reviewed the proposed contract between the Bir- mingham Railway. Light and Power com- pany and the city of Birmingham, and while I believe the company has made great concessions, I am of the opinion that 10 years is too long period for the city to bind itself in such a con- tract. There are vast developments in every line, but possibly none so extensive as those connected with the matter of lighting and motive power. by electricity and gas. It seems to me that five year contract would be fair and equitable to both parties and would meet with general satisfaction. .
 "As to the matter of the fare to Ems ley the proposed reduction of rates, with out the unrestricted use of transfers will be very little benefit over the present conditions. I think the Ensley lines with their ever increasing travel are entitled to the same privileges as the other sec tions of the city,
 H. J. Porter of H. J. Porter Clothing company: .I am a consumer of cleo tricity, and I know that we should be very much pleased to have our erec- tric bills reduced 20 per cent as of- fered by the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company
 T am of the opinion that the proposed rate reduction is very reasonable and that the city of Birmingham should off, cially adopt the proposition. The arc light cost is reduced to small tig- ure by the company while every con- sumer in this whole district is given an appreeiable reduction.
 The other proposition that seems to be reviewed with disfavor is the 10 year contract. As see it any man may buy from some other company or the city may purchase it's light from a mu- nicipal plant if one is erected. view the whole offer of the company in the light of very reasonable and equitable proposition"
