CAN DOUBLE TRACK
SOUTH TWENTIETH
Supreme Court Declines to
Grant Permanent
Injunction

Following the decision Of the state SUI
preme court Tuesday that the Birming-
ham Railway. Light and Power company
might construct double track along
South Twentieth street from Thirteenth
to Fifteenth avenues. officials of the COM
pany stated yesterday that they did not
know when such work would begin
The decision was made in the injune-
tion case of E. ]. Smyer vs.. the Bir-
minghsm Railway, Light and Power COM
pany, in which Mr.. Smyer sought a per-
manent injunction restraining the street
railway company from constructing a
double track at this stretch of street on
the grounds that it would damage his
property at Twentieth street and Thir-
teenth avenue. The lower court refused
the permanent injunction but required the
street railway company to give bond to
insure against any damages to the prop
erty in question. The supreme court held
this bond was an error, but that other
wise the lower hourt had acted correctly.
A permit for the double tracks at this
point has already been granted the street
railway company by the city.
Officials of the street railway company
stated that no formal notification as to
the result of the case had been made
to them and that no action would be
taken until later.

MEN OF GADSDEN
ROSE TO OCCASION
The City Came Near Losing
Power Co. Developments
PRICES EXORBITANT
Figures Were Asked for Permits and
Rights of Way Which Would
Have Made Company's Ac-
ceptance Impossible

Three Alabama cities came near losing
the service of the Alabama Power COM
pany by alleged initiation of franchise
prices. The cities were Gadsden, Alfalfa
and Alabama City. However, the storm
has passed now and NJ. Webb Offutt, as
sistant to the president announced yes
terday that he believed all trouble was
over.
The troubles of the power company at
Gadsden presented a rather interesting
situation. 1t is claimed that farms pur-
chased for 5000 were traYersed for a short
distance and the owners wanted the en-
tire value OF the farm for the right Of
way for power lines. Permits that were
the cause of very little damage would be
held up for a tremendous amount, ac-
cording to information secured here. The
result was that when James Mitchell,
president of the company heard of it he
ordered all construction and activities. at
the places mentioned stopped at once.
The company assumed the position that
If the rights OF way were TO be so dear
the company had best keep away from
those places. When the big loss was In
sight the Commercial club of Gadsden
held a hurried meeting and heard an ad-
dress of Mr. Onutt. He explained that
the power company did not want any
franchises for nothing. but did not pro-
pose to pay the prices asked. lie pointed
out that the Southern Iron and Steel
company was given a bonus and tract
of land to locate ia Gadsden. He fol
lowed that by saying that his company
would be forced to act as an Industrial
agent and bring power consumers TO
Gadsden hence the value in at least one
way OF the company to the community.
The Commercial club then voted the
company it's thanks. resolutions were
adopted and the men who were said to be
responsible for the high prices asked OF
the company said they believed every
thing would be Strengthened out
when you carry proposition to the
people 1t is always settled correctly.
said Mr. Ofutt yesterday. Since that
meeting in Gadsden 1 believe all our trou-
bles there are comparatively over. The
people ofs Gadsden are with Us ! surely
believe. They said in the meeting that
the prices asked of us and the stumbling
blocks placed in our path did not reflect
the sentiments of the people OF that sec
ton. ! firmly believe that to be true
The whole proposition seems now TO have
been settled We will spend over $i001-oo)
in Gadsden and will try to help that city
grow We are sure to do that. We
went to the people with our trouble and
they solved the proposition as they are
wont to do correctly. The trouble now is
over and all we have 10 do Is to negotiate
with land owners for the very simple
rights OF way which are required.

MAN IN BIRMINGHAM
w. f. Tebbetts, Head of Big
Tile Manufacturing Con-
Germ Here on Business

Maj w. +. Tebbetts, president OF the
National Mosaic Flooring company OF Mo-
bile, one of the most extensive thing
plants in the country, Is in birmingham
in the interest of that company. The well
known tile man is equally as well known
as politician of progressive ideas, and
IL for Colonel Roosevelt now as for many
years Major Tebbetts is engaged in bus
mess negotiations here for the tile made
IN Mobile, and has hopes Of landing sew
eral large contracts in this city during the
next few weeks.
The tile manufactured by the company
headed by Major Tebbetts in Mobile Is one
Of the oldest tiles in the world. For gen.
erations it has been manufactured in Bel
GUM. France Italy Spain, Germany and
elsewhere. The plant at Mobile has been
in operation for some time, and is rapidly
spreading it's products all over the coun-
try.
The tile is of concrete mixture, while
the coloring secret is held in the posses
sion of only few persons. II was brought
II Mobile by Spaniards, and has been i'm
parted from father 10 son for generations.
IN Birmingham several public structures
ard many private residences have speeI-
fed the tile made In Mobile. The tile is
said to be almost indestructible, while the
eolors are very artistic. Any color desired
may he arranged for in the tile.
THE United Cigars company said
Major Tebbetts, lis arranging to place
our tile in all their stores. 1t is expect
ed that the New York stores VIII be
equipped first. That viii be a great boom
for our company and the state Of Ala
hama as we'll. The tile we make requires
many acres In Mobile, ard in principally
all the public building there the tile Is
used In color effects the tile is absolutely
II atchless. while 1t wears for ages. 1t is
practically indistruetible. We have placed
the tile in many buildings here and in as
many residences. The outlook for our
company spreading rapidly is fine. We
are leaving nothing undone to spread the
fame of Alabama broadcast In the manu-
facturc OF this product The process of
coloring this tile is a Spanish proposition
which is generations old. The tile is made
Of concrete"
