DR. l.. l.. ECKSTEIN IS
 WITH JAFFE JEWELRY CO.

Dr. L. L. Eckstein of New York is a new citizen of Birmingham. pr. Eek stein was induced to come here by the flattering reports of Birmingham's s rapid development and the rich mineral wealth of this district. pr. Eckstein is graduate of optometry,. being one of class of 90 young men in a class of 1902. After leaving college he located in Savannah. Ga. There pr. Eckstein was associated with the leading op- ticians of the city and held the secre- iaryship of the Savannah optical so- ciety.
 Here pr. Eckstein is associated with the Jaffe Jewelry company at 115 North Twentieth street He comes to Bir- mingham with the highest references from the foremost opticians throughout the south He has never, failed to cor rect a case of cross eyes, which alone is a fine record. Dr. Eckstein will carry a complete stock of standard, highgrade optical goods and a special invitation is extended the public in need of optical service to call and have Dr. Eckstein make a thorough eXamina- tion of your eyes. Honest treatment will be given to all. Remember the address, 115 North Twentieth street.

very highly. recommended. I.belieVe he was highly recommended to. you, Judge Lane, and you recommended him to the board. We paid him quite a sum of money to make this investigation. He came back after making an investiga- ton covering several weeks and laid the result of his Investigations before us, and I acted on his report. l would do the same thing again with the same information before me.
 q am just as eager and anxious for a corporation to make a fair return on it's investment as l am for an indi vidual. I know no difference between a corporation and, an individual when it comes to matter of fairness and jus tice. It may be possible that some corporations in their statement show charges where there should be credits and credits where there should be charges, but with the lights before me at the time I passed judgment on this petition of the telephone company, acted entirely from business stand point and a view to fairness. I stated that the claims of the telephone com pany had been practically indorsed by the city's representative.
 q don't want to see any citizen of Birmingham pay an excessive charge for anything. I felt that the report we had on the affairs of the telephone com pany was correct after our auditor made his report to us. If, however, the statement of the telephone com pany and the report of our auditor can be shown to be incorrect, and the company is not making money or a reasonable profit, then in all fairness, the city should not be party to force them to continue to operate at a loss any more than it would compel an in- dividual to do so
 That is the position I take and I presume that Is the reason for some of the public feeling that I am in fa- vor of the raise. I have not voted for any raise. but I do take the position now as I did then, that if the state. ment of the company is correct they are not making a fair return for the money they have invested.
 When the commissioners get to- gether, as they will. and discuss th's matter in all of its phases, we will then come to some conclusion as to what position the city will and can le gally take on the question of insti- tuition of legal proceedings'
