STANLEY PAROLED
BY JUDGE w. E. FORT
Fine for Carrying Concealed Weapon
Reduced to $75--0riginal Sem
tence S100 and so Days

In the second division of the criminal
court Judge William Il. Fort reduced the
fine of w. A. Stanley. charged with car
fying concealed pistol and paroled him
on good behavior. Stanley was fined 800
and given a 60 days jail sentence last
Wednesday by Judge Fort, ON the above
charge, and yesterday he reduced the fine
to s75 and suspended the sentence on
good behavior.
The case against Stanley grew out OF
difficulty between Stanley, who was
street car conductor on the Terminal car
line. and Henry King, Sr.. of Tuscaloosa,
who was said to have been badly beaten
up. Judge Fort stated that In reducing
the sentence he was not actuated by the
many requests that had been made to
him by the friends of the young man,
hut that from the statements made to the
court he was convinced that the defend
ant had borne a good character and that
he was willing to give him the benefit
of his former reputation. Stanley was
confined in the Jail from wednesday until
yesterday.

MANY HAD HAND IN
DRAWING FRANCHISE

The franchise was drawn up by Presl-
dent c. Exurh of the city commission,
Commissioners Lane and Weatherly. City
Engineer w G. Kirkpatrick and City At
torney Romaine Boyd. City Attorney
Boyd is responsible for the form ard
parlance of the document to a large ex-
tent, the three commissioners and the
Kelley associates are the authors of the
body of the document, but Engineer Kirk
patrick to a large extent is responsible
for the features Incorporated in the fran
chise, which make it of the unusual ma
ture
1t cannot be the purpose here to at
temp to show whether the features OF
the franchise referred to are good or bad,
an advance or a step backward, a demon
stration of wisdom or a mistake. There
are opinions, many of them on both sides.
and they are just opinions. The real facts
in the case will be demonstrated when the
Kelley associates submit their plans 10
the city commission, begin to construct
their railroad and then to operate 1t. Il
might be stated, however, that the gem
eral impression about town since the fea-
lures of the franchise are becoming known
is that it is a step forward in the march
of progress in such matters and one of
the best business deals made since the
existence of the present commission.

SAYS STREET RAILWAYS
NATURAL MONOPOLIES

1.-The time is coming and coming fast
said Engineer kirkpatrick yesterday.
when the city of Birmingham will no
longer have an opportunity to grant
street railway franchises. Such oppor-
tunities always come when a city is
young. Before long the city will have
granted such privileges to all the COR
porations which can do business in one
city and then the franchise busines will.
dwind1e until it will almost cease to exist
The street railway is a natural
monopoly. 1t is better for everybody
that it be a monopoly. The service is bet
ter and the service is what the public. Is
mostly Interested in. Rival lines which
will not grant transfers to each other
not only cause a lot of inconvenience, but
work an additional expense on the
patrons of the street cars. 1t is best to
have one railroad and that's what in time
most cities usually have and what In
time we will have.
Competition is delusive hope. 1t is
all right in theory, but all wrong In prac-
tice when it comes to two or more street
car systems in the same city. We want
transfers from one line TO another we
want schedules en- all lines that will CO.
operate and connect up with each other
We do not want to pay an additional fare
every time we take a new line while maxi
ing a continuous trip across the cry be-
tween two given points. That is why we
do not want competition, but want a
monopoly. mean monopoly that can
be properly regulated by the city govern
ment, regulated as the Kelley system can
be regulated under the restrictions and
rrovistons of its franchise"

PERCENTAGE OF GROSS
EARNINGS TO CITY

One of the first features appealing to
the ordinary person in examining the
X eley franchise is the prt -. on that for
the first five years the line - in operation
after its eight 5000 notes are paid Off to the
city, that is from 1921 to 1926, . per cent
of the gross earnings must be paid INTO
tho CITY treasury. Emphasis should lie
laid on the fact that this is 3 per cent
Of the gross earnings. If it were pe<-
oentage of the profits of company IL
might he an easy matter for any COM
many TO doctor its books so that the
sum total paid the city would be very IN
sipnfficant Such a trick would be an ex-
ceedinelv difficult matter when IL is the
gross earnings that are concerned
Not only that, but any one can easily
see that 3 per cent of the gross earnings
of any large corporation is pouhd 10 pe
much larger sum than the same per cent
- tbe NET earnings II cannot be even
guessed as to what this per cent of the
gross earnings is going to amount to-
There is little doubt, however, but that
II will be very substantial sum-
AS stated. this payment out of the
gross earning begins after the eight
notes given by the Kelleys to the city
have been paid off. These notes are pay
able annually, so that the nrst pay
ment out of the gross earnings begins
eight years after the plans OF the COM
nanv are approved by the city commits

lasts for five years, at the end of which
time there is 4 per cent payment of

FORCED TO PROVIDE
AGAINST GRADE CROSSINGS

The third feature is in regard to the
grade crossing problem which now con-
fronts the city of Birmingham in a way
that demands serious consideration. BY
the terms of the franchise the Kelley
associates agree to erect at their own
expense a subway at Avenue + and
Seventh street under the tracks of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad and
the Birmingham Belt railroad. This
subway will cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000 The company also agrees
to erect a temporary viaduct across the
railroad tracks on Twenty third street
from First avenue to Avenue b. This
viaduct is to be similar to the present
viaduct used by the Birmingham Rail
way, Light and Power company on
Twenty second street across the same
tracks. The roadway OF this yiadue It
is to be not less than 20 feet wide and
there must be two sidewalks. one on
each side of a width of four feet. The
company agrees to maintain this Via
duct until the system of grade cross
ings now being worked out by the city
engineering department is completed.
The Kelley company then agrees to
make the grade IL it's viaduct conform
to the plans laid down by the city in
this system OF grade crossings. How
ever, it is provided that IL the grade
crossing system is not worked out by
the city in the next 10 years, at the end
of that time the Kelleys agree to erect
permanent and substantial yiaduct
on this site to the width of 80 feet. of
concrete and steel or similar permd-
nent material, with sidewalks on each
side, etc, and maintain it throughout
the life of their franchise. The life of
the Kelley franchise covers a period Of
80 years.
The subway at Avenue r and Seventh
street is to be 60 feet wide with an
overhead room of IA feet. 1t Is further
provided that any grade crossings, via
ducts or subways, to be erected in the
future In accordance with the extension
of the Kelley lines and with the plans

FRANCHISE CANNOT
BE TRANSFERRED

1t is expressly provided that the fran
elise granted to the Kelleys cannot be
transferred, bartered sold for any con-
si1eration to a competitive line without
the consent of the city government. If
such is done it automatically forfeits the
franchise without any action by the city.
However, this does not prohibit the Kelley
company from issuing bonds in order TO
finance the project, providing such IS
done as a strictly business transaction.
1t is further provided that the city can
regulate the schedules under which the
Kelley cars will operate. also the routes
of such cars, and seats must be provided
for two-thirds of the passengers during
the rush hours and all the passengers ct
other hours. On the outskirts of the city
at transfer points the city can compel
the company to erect proper stations for
the comfort and shelter of the passengers
while waiting on a car. The fare Is not
to exceed 5 cents at any time.
The city can compel the company to

heated at all times 1t Is provided that
