city are committed to the commission

being so administered as to secure to
the people in the fullest degree all
those benefits to which they are ust-

great needs in this community which can
not be overlooked and toward the secnr-

mand of compelling force has been made
upon me to enter this race.
THE needs to which specially refer
are:
First, the amazing fact that the last
school census showed more than 1900
children of school age not even registered
in the schools, much less in attendance
thereon. The welfare of the community
faces no fercer enemy than ignorance. If

GREAT ACTIVITY IN

Cooperation in Gypsy Smith
Revival

Since the return of the delegates sent
to the Christian Endeavor convention in
Los Angeles. Endeavor activity in the
Birmingham district has taken on new
life and the young people are making
great efforts to build up the work. Defi-
mite plans are being worked out for the
extension of the work and new societies
are being organized almost weekly.
The missionary committee under the
leadership of j C. Gibson is making
plans by which it is hoped to get all
members of the Christian Endeavor So
cieties and the cooperation of the other
young peoples religious societies. such
as the Baptist Young Peoples union and
the Baraca society, to take an active
part in working for the success of the
Gypsy Smith revival to be held here in
the fall.
Roy Allgood, S. j. Stiggens, w. W.
Park and M. l.. McLester, members of
the lookout committee of the district
union, are making personal visits to all
of the local societies, urging greater ac-
tivity and more efficiency.
F. F. Ballard and A. C. Decker, who
have recently returned from the Chris

Owing to additional activities in his

of this danger upon plans that are fair

Water and Electric Rates
Third. the present water rates are not
satisfactory to our citizens, and no time
should be lost in putting the city In the
position at the earliest possible moment,
TO secure better rates at the expiration
of the present contract or to buy or build
plant of it's own. To provide funds
for this purpose legislative and constitu-
tonal aid may have to be invoked, and
there is no time to be lost in preparing
for this.
Fourth. a reduction of prices of gas
and electricity was secured after strug-
gle by the people in the fall of 1911, but
tie present price of electricity is still far
from reasonable. We are informed by
the press that The local company has
made an extremely faVora BILE contract
with the Alabama Power company for it's
hydro-electric current from the Coosa
river plant. 1t is certain that the local
coirpaEy will pay for this current not
greatly in excess of one-half cent per
killowatt hour while the charge against
the.local consumer is cents per killowatt
hour net. Ii is clear then that the gross
profit of the local company is more. than
17eg per cent and that the cost of handing
and distribution cannot be in excess Of
from to per cents per killowatt hour.
THE local company is entitled to- and
must haTe, a good and fair profit, but
the citizens of this community have no
right to submit to any such exhorbitant
profit upon the part of public service
corporation. If elected / shall demand
and enforce by al legal and proper means
at my eomman reduction of this ex-
horbtant profit 50 that our citizens may
buy their current at reasonable and fair
are now using hydro-electrie current at
prices little in excess of one-half of the
present prices paid by us.
