ALLOW SALE OF TIE
 LOCKWOOD RAIL WAY
Permission Granted at Spe- cial Session of City Com
 mission Yesterday

At a special session of the board of city commissioners held yesterday morning permission was granted the Birmingham Edgewood and Electric railway to sell its property to the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company for sum approximating s60,000 and the city attorney was in- structed to draw up the necessary or dinance covering the grant of the com mission.
 St, phen Smith, president of the E6gewood line. presented a petition to the commissioners requesting that section five of their franchise be amended. The said section provides that in the event the Edgewood line Is taken over by a competing com pany that the transfer system shall prevail. The amended section provides that transfers be only granted within the city limits. The Edgewood line Is about four miles long and extends only three blocks within the city limits
 This matter has been before the city commissioners on a previous occasion and quite an opposition to the sale de- veloped on the part of some of the residents of Edgewood and vicinity. The petition was withdrawn and new petition presented. The present ordi- nance will be officially acted upon at the meeting of the commissioners next Friday.
