 Weatherly's Substitute
 As against this, and as a substitute for this, I seek to have the citizens of Greater Birmingham declare on septem- Der q. the day set for the next cleo tion of city commissioner, that they authorize the city commissioners to have constructed an independent waterworks plant by means of the proceeds of a bond issue, the money so raised to be devoted exclusively to that purpose, and not for any general purpose of the city nor for the purchase of the company S plant.
 My resolution Is confined to an inde- pendent plant for the reason that the citys right to condemn the waterworks plant is al least doubtful, and the com pany has laid down the law to the city that it will not sell It's plant prior to January, 1921. If the city is to take any steps between now and January, 1921 to own it's own waterworks plant, it is forced by these conditions to build its own plant.
 Are the people willing to this post ponemelt on the terms offered by the Birmingham Waterworks company?
 T propose to draw the issue squarely and clearly for the people to decide. 1 iopoot u pul tlIu tO tlc iOOSt ldiN about municipal ownership and to draw the line between those who are really playing with municipal ownership and those wbo really want it; to draw the line between those W ho are willing to accept what the Birmingham Waterworks company is willing to hand down to us on us own terms and those who are unwilling to any longer submit to the exactions of the city's worst monopoly.
 Why should this question be referred as proposed?
 There has been no demand for it. Judge Lane informs me there had been no request made to Aim for it. I have seen no such proposition in the news papers and no petitions have been filed with the commission. The commissions CTS have already unanimously rejected the Birmingham Waterworks company s proposition. .
 Has Judge Lane changed his mind on the subject?
 Has MT. Ward changed his mind on the subject?
 Certainly I have not changed my mind.

Vote Merely Persuasive

Has either of the commissioners any doubt about the correctness of his vote ? Vote Merely Persuasive And even if the proposition should be voted on. the vote would be merely persuasive. It would carry no weight or authority of law and would not be necessarily binding on the commission CTS. So that such an election might bring us no nearer a satisfactory conclusion than we are now. 9
 AS written, Judge Lanes resolution proposes submission of the question to the voters at as early a date as prac- ticable. although we are to have another election>for city commissioner on Septem- Der 2l
 1.-Two more elections in the next 60 days involving the time, trouble and ex- pense incident
 For these reasons am utterly op- posed to this extra and unauthorized pro- ceeding.
 II believe we should maintain our law suits and carry them out to final de- cision. Why is the waterworks company so anxious to get rid vf these law suits l? Why do they so earnestly insist that they should be dropped? I construed the ref erendum vote in 1912 as a command that we should institute these suits and carry them out to a finsh, and I believe the verdict of the voters in that election also is command to the city commissioners that they should use every legitimate power available to secure municipal own : ership either by purchase from the com pany or by condemnation of the com panys plant or by the construction of an independent plant. Litigation instituted by the city has been along these lines. The law does not authorize condemna- iton and the Birmingham Waterworks company will not permit a purchase; hence l an taking the last and final step in the fight of the people against the waterworks company, namely, submit ting to the people the question of bond issue for the construction by the city of it's own plant. Of course there will be some to suggest difficulties. There will even be pretended friends of mu- nicipal ownership who will be only too willing to suggest obstacles to belittle the movement and to predict failure But the experiences of other cities demon strate that the trick be turned and that this great work can be accom- plished if only the people will stand to- gether; and there can be no doubt that the people without regard to class or condition strongly favor the absolute ownership and control by themselves of
