JOHNS SUCCESSOR
Citizens of Eastern Section
of Birmingham Make
Request

At the earnest solicitation of residents
Of the eastern part of Birmingham. the
election of a member of the board of
education to fill the place of Col Samuel
VIII John was passed over until next
Tuesday.
half of the citizens of the eastern ter
ritory said that he was sure the COM
mission wanted to be fair about the
place and the citizens present felt that
man from East Lake or Woodlawn
was entitled to the place. That the ter
ritory now had schools entirely iueffi-
cient and that conditions would not exist
If that territory had representation was
one of the arguments of the delegation.
1t was stated that the entire municipality
as 1t now exists was entitled to repre-
sentation on all boards created by the
city commission.
The commissioners could not see any
reason TO deny the request of the petit
toners that the election go over for q
few days in order to permit careful
study of the situation. The delegation
referring to L. SEWER. who is slated for
the place. it is understood, said they knew
he was capable and entirely worthy of the
position. but they wanted a man from
the eastern edge of the city. 1t was
pointed out that Mr.. Sewer has not ap-
piled for the position, but his applica-
ton was made by friends.

KELLY INTERESTS To
GET THE FRANCHISE
Beatty Withdraws Applica-
ton and Files Another
ACTION NEXT FRIDAY
X ely Interests Will File Plans Within
Eighteen Days and Work Is
Expected to Start in
Two Months

The Norwood franchise request for the
Birmingham Railway, Light and Power
company was withdrawn yesterday by l.
c. Beatty, general manager of the Bir-
mingham Realty company who filed the
application.
He Immediately fled another request
for the franchise to Il. c. Beatty and
associates" the understanding being that
the franchise is to be given the Kelly
interests if they make good. That he had
been informed that the Kelly interests
were ready to build the line and have 1t
in operation within a reasonable length
of time and were willing to sign a con-
tract to that effect was a statement of
Mr.. Beatty to the commission
II was related by Mr.. Beatty that after
constant negotiations and redrafts of the
tentative franchise the Birmingham Rail-
way, Light and Power company declined
to accept it with the section which per-
mits other and future lines to use the
tracks upon payment of reasonable COM
pensation. The Birmingham Railway,
Light and Power company, he reported.
of the opinion that such plecedents
should not be established at this time
at any rate
Mr. Beatty said that he wanted car
service right away. lie said that the
Kelly interests would file their plans in
IS days and that work would start in
two months thereafter The proposed
line is on Eleventh avenue rather than
Fifteenth avenue. as proposed in the Bir-
mingham Railway. Light and Power com
pany franchise.
The commission evidently wished to
grant the franchise yesterday afternoon
upon it's first filing. 1t was suggested
that while the city attorney read the
document that a resolution be passed
granting the franchise subject to the
approval of the city attorney President
Exum opposed such a plan, while Cap
tain Boyd city attorney, backed him up
by saying that it would never do to
have the minutes so incomplete. 1t was
then promised that C.-ptain Boyd would
pass upon the franchise by Friday and
1t would be granted at that time. 1t
was suggested BY Mr.. Exum that the
ordinance had to be advertised and was
also subject to referendum.
The provisions are identical with those
of the original Kelly franchise except the
bockage charge tor Norwood goes in on
the gross payment of the kellys for
the entire street railway line 1t Is stated
that franchise eontemplates giving the
city certain percent of the gross reve-
nue. rer year for a certain number Of
years. The construction will be under
the direction of the city engineer.
In connection with the Kelly activities
their plans for street railway lines We're
filed yesterday afternoon with the com
mission. The plans compose a great bulk
Of blue prints with specifications as to
the construction and other details. The
plans were not read.
