That the commission is charging his company with outrageous conduct sim ply to work up sentiment against the company while the litigation is In court was the opinion expressed by D. J. O'Connell, superintendent of the water works company yesterday. MT. oCon- nell was unwilling to go Into a discus sion of the case. saying that 1t was a matter for the courts to decide as be- tween the city and his company. yet he branded as absolutely false the state ment contained in the commissioners or- dinance that his company had been guilty of reprehensible conduct. and the said the commission knew 1t.
 q am sure the commissioners are only trying to work up sentiment against our company by charging us with falsifying bills, and falsely reading meters" said Mir. O'Connell. T have been connected with public service corporations twenty years, and have never experienced such tactics in all that time.
 our meter readers are paid so much per month to read meters, and they are supposed to read them right. When they make one mistake we correct it as soon as we find 1t out. If the meter readers continue to make mistak:~ we charge them with being incomT Hlt, and they are released. We do not 4.re citizens of Birmingham to steal for us. and the com mlssioners do us an injustice to charge
