ton Light and Power company (the Ala

The Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company guarantees to require

power developers 1867. 500 per year as a
minimum. 1t is believed the minimum
will never be the least amount used as
the chances are that much greater vol

In addition to the contract with the local
lighting company the Alabama Power
company has contracted with two cement
plants here and other customers, for
power guaranteeing an additional revenue
of 100000 yearly The contracts with the
Birmingham Railway, Light and Power
company and those already closed con-
sumo only 45 per cent of the power to

WEATHERLY ASKS
BRIL-. TO GRANT
TRANSFER PRIVILEGE
Writes to Ford in Regard to
Proposed Reduction of
Fare From Wylam
and Fairfield

Calling upon the Birmingham Railway,
Light and Power company to do the big
thing" in reference TO the reduction of
street car fares from Fairfield and Wy
lam to Birmingham proper, City Commits
sioner James Weatherly after a confer
ence with Judge Lane sent reply to
the street car company. yesterday. AS Is
known the street car company had voluh-
tarily offered to reduce the fares in ques-
ton but was not willing to allow the
franchise privilege.
The two commissioners also decided to
Incorporate into the present proposition
the request of the citizens of Vineville
for a reduction in street car fare from
10 to cents No mention was made of
this in the original voluntary PROPOSE
tion of the street car company. but the
Vinesyille citizens sent delegation to the
commissioners asking that they receive a
reduction as well as the Wylam' and
Fairview people.
Letter to Ford
The letter 10 Mr.. Ford follows:
MIA. II. Ford President b. r. L. & f.
Co., Birmingham:
Dear Sir:-Following our verbal ac-
acknowledgement of the receipt Of your let
ter of July %, 1918, and after due consld-
Grafton of your request therein contained,
that the fare contract entered into be-
tween the city and your company NoYem-
ber 25, 1911, be amended to permit your
company to carry passengers from the
present terminus of the Wylam line in
Wylam, and from the present terminus
of the Fairfield line in Fairfield, upon
the payment of an initial fare of cents,
to the present termini of the North Ems
ley South Ensley and the new Owenton
and Ensley lines in the city of Birming-
ham without transfer beyond; and upon
the payment of an initial cash fare of 5
cents on the cars of these three lines, to
carry passengers to the present termini
of the company's lines in Wylam and
Fairfield, we beg to submit the following
reply:
''The board of commissioners have not
officially acted on your request in pub
lie meeting of the board, but Judge Lane
and myself, after conference, agreed on
the following propositions, namely:
First, we have no objection to your
voluntarily granting the concession of a
8 cent cash fare, as mentioned in your
request, and will impose no obstacle there
to, as we concede your right to reduce
your rates voluntarily at any time you
see fit to do so.
Second, we do not think 1t wise, at
this time, to amend contract of Novem-
ber 25, 1911, by adding thereto the propo-
sition involved in your request without
further concessions on your part. Your
request that we permit the initial cash
| fare of cents contains a limitation that
no transfers shall be given beyond the
ternlini mentioned in your letter, in which
respect Wylam and Fairfield are placed
at disadvantage as compared with other
sections of the city such as East Lake,
Ensley and North Birmingham. We think
you should eliminate the words in your
letter without transfer beyond. so that
person taking passage at Wylam or
Fairfield for East Lake, could go to East
Lake for cents.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-08-01
yineville Matter Mentioned

Third, we think also that you ought
to extend like privileges as above
stated in paragraph two, to the people
around Vinesville. 1t may be true, as
you claim. that the station of Vines
VILE is outside of the corporate limits
of the city, but the corporate line is
only a few feet away and the mere
location of the station is immaterial
anyway.
Fourth, we think that now is the
time for your company to do the right
thing by the inhabitants of these COM
munities--in other words, do the big
thing, and that will in the end prove
to be the best business for your COM
pany
Fifth, If you will make these fur
ther concessions, we shall be only too
glad to incorporate them into the con-
tract of November 25. 1911. We un-
derstand that this is the contract
granting scent cash fare to Ensley and
Pratt City, and which itself was an
amendment to your contract with the
city of the year 1900
I'VE tried to get you over the tele-
phone yesterday for a further confer
ence to discuss these suggestions, but
found you were out of the city and We
wish to give you our answer prior to
August /, as requested in the last
paragraph of your letter. Yours very
truly, JAMES WEATHERLY,
