DECISION SOON IN
WATERWORKSC
City Awaits Word From Su-
preme Court, Expected Not :
Later Than Next Tuesday

A decision in the Birmingham Water
works case in which the city is endeav-
oring to take the franchise away from
the local waterworks company is eN-
pected by the state supreme court not
later than next Tuesday.
The supreme court will meet Mon
day and the waterworks suit is a pre-
ferred case II is possible the decision
may be handed down Monday, but IL
Is expected not later than Tuesday un-
less IL should happen that there is u
dissenting opinion, the writing of which
would probably consume some addi-
tional time.
The pending suit Is an appealed quo
warranto proceeding from the circuit
court, where Judge Grove decided
against the city For the city to win,
the supreme court will have to re-
verse the case. The quo warranto pro-
ceedings were instituted on many dir
ferent grounds and the real result Of
the case will not be known in case ie
is reversed until IA copy of the rul-
Ing is received in birmingham as 1t
is said to be probable the court will
reverse the case on some of the counts
and affirm Il on others
The legal proceedings between tho
city and the Birmingham Water works
company were originally instituted by
the waterWorks company i'm the federal
court, where ii asked for an injunc-
tion against certain water rates being
enforced by the city aud the Injunction
was granted. The city then came back
at them with quo warranto suit
contending that the company was oper-
ating without a franchise and it is this
suit which is pending.

Mr.. Kavanaugh addressed the congress

cess of anything he declared. II tell
you,. you don't know what your Chamber
of Commerce actually stands for. A town
that has Chamber of Commerce is to
be congratulated and town that is sc
unfortunate as to be without a civic body

COMMISSIONERS ARE
PLANNING TO FIGHT
FOR THE V|ADUCTS
Ordinance to Compel Con-
structi0n of One at First
Avenue and Twenty
Seventh Being Drawn

City Engineer Walter kirkpatrick
stated yesterday that one of his men
was busy working on the viaduct ordi-
nance for First avenue and Twenty
seventh street which the city commits
sioners intend to compel the railroads
to obey. City Commissioner James
Weatherly says that the commission
Will be ready to act upon the ordi-
nance almost as soon as it is COM
pleted.
The viaduct plan in the force ordi-
nance" 1t has been nicknamed, will
be practically the same as that en-
bodied in the general grade crossing
plan submitted to the railroads by the
city officials some few weeks ago, OBJ
jections to which by the railroads
aroused the ire of the city fathers.
'rhey now intend to force the railroads
out into the open and make them fight.
MS expected that after the ordinance
IS passed the railroads will carry the
fight into the courts and there will
be much delay but the commission has
concluded that this will be better than
the dilatory tactics which they claim
to have been putting up with from the
railroads for the past several years.

of the old contracts provided the heirs

citizen living on abutting property to
the park or in the immediate neighbor-
hood could bring suit for injunction and
IL the auditorium was built, he might be
given authority to tear it down.
"Of course, as everybody knows" said
Judge Lane, Il have been against this

the municipal debt. However, since the
bonds have been voted for now, 1 will
