IIllman's Line of Argument

The principal line Of argument that Mr
 ullman followed in the defense of the city was that the city of Birmingham and it's regular constituted authorities had no authority to enter into Il contract with the waterworks company in 1888 fixing rates for period of years. MT Ullman claimed that the provision in the contract then en- tered into between the city of il3rming
 ham or it's regular constituted authorities and the waterworks company was suh- jeet to change by any succeeding admin istration of civic officers. He also con tended that the rate of 90 cents per thou- sand gallons then fixed in the contract was the maximum rate and was subject to reduction at any time to such rate as might be reasonable. According to MT.

Ullnan, the city in 1888 had not the right to enter into a contract whereby it sur rendered for the period of length of fran chise it's right to abridge the rates then agreed to by the city and the water works company. MT. Uullman stated that the city of Birmingham or it's regular constituted authorities had not that right in 1888. according to the city charter at that time, and therefore the city of Bir- mingham or it's regular constituted au- thorities at present can pass lower rates amending the original contract entered into. Mir. Ullman declared that the city commission as now constituted had no power in itself to agree upon rate or bind. the city by agreement, and that the Weatherly ordinance was not confisca- tory: also that certain investments of the waterworlSs company were unwise ex- penditures and that the city of Birming- ham should not be subjected to high water rates in order to pay for these costs.

Huddleston Follows UlIman

OltONO 0ilihdh
 NIr EIuddleston, who followed MT. Ull- man. confined his argument to the de- cson of the chancery court, which was in favor of the waterworks company.
 Mr. Huddleston held that the decree of the .chancery court in 1898 was mere mterlocutory order, and was not a final decree: and that the case was finally dismissed without any decision on it's merits. so that it could not be argued that the ruling of the chancery court was tres iudicata," also the question of the right of the city to regulate rates was not raised in that case so that the question had not been decided.
 In speaking of the referendum on the Exum-Lane ordinance which the attorneys of the waterworlSs company contend did not enlarge or extend their franchise, Mr. Huddleston held that the terms on which the franchise was to be exercised Was a necessary part of it and that any change or alteration in rates authorized by the ordinance was an enlargement of the franchise; that what the. waterworks company was really after in making the proposal to the city of Birmingham was to get the right to put in meters and that giving tho right to put in meters was an enlargement of their franchise.
 Mir. Spurlock spoke in rebuttal and was still addressing the court when 1t adjourned. This morning at 10 o'clock Romaine Boyd, city attorney, will close for the city, and John London, for the waterworks company after which briefs will be filed by both parties with the court The speaking today will likely be concluded before noon, following which Judge Grubb will take the matter un- der advisement. His decision on the case is not expected for at least ten days.
 During the afternoon session, Judge Grubb made quite a few Inquiries of the attnrneYs.
