Ross, receiver for the Tidewater. when asked about the statements of Mr. Cunningham that con struction costs were rather high, and in- dicating that d full investigation would be made.
 MT Ross said that as a receiver for tho Tidewater and under the supervision of the federal court that it would be inap- propriate for him to discuss publicly and without the courts sanction the state ments of Mir.

 Mir. Ross said that the statement that was being prepared would be given to the officers of the federal district court, he hoped, by the end of this week, and he would prefer it to be given to the public by the court officials.
 Mir. Ross said further that the opera tons were In fine shape at this time, and everything was proceeding very gratifyingly

AUTHORIZE WARD ID MAKE AGREEMENT City Will Get Water at Old Rates Pending Outcome
 of Suit

At the meeting of the city commis- sion yesterday afternoon President George Ward was authorized to exc cute an agreement with the Birming ham Waterworks company establishing modus vivendi pending the determin- ation of the litigation against the com pany. The agreement which MT. Ward is authorized to execute will make it possible for the city to have installed fire plugs and to get it's water at the old rate. without either of the con- testants waiving any rights. In other words, the city gets it's water at the rates that have been in force for two years pending the outcome of the suits against the water company. If the wa ter company wins, the city will have to pay the difference.
 An ordinance defining disorderly conduct was adopted. The new ordi- rance was adopted at the request of Judge Alvin M. Douglass and will fa- cilitate convictions in the recorders court. It makes possible the convie- ton of anyone who commits an act tending to cause a breach of the peace.
 A conference between citizens of Ensley and the superintendent of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company was arranged for next Fri day. The citizens of Ensley want to transfer to the Vivian line in Ensley instead of at Tuxedo junction.
 The ordinance requiring street cars to stop when the sound of the bells of the fire wagons are heard will be enforced it was announced at the meeting The reason for this is that .everal times recently street car mo- torsnen have ignored the provisions of the ordinance and kept their cars in riotion while the fire equipment was passing.
 This afternoon J. H. r. DeWindt and city Attorney Romaine Boyd will arr gue before the commission the posses slon of the right of way on Nineteenth street between Palmer Terrace and EnsIey The city claims the street railway company should pave this sec ton and the question of the right of way is in dispute.

TO REDUCE SIZE OF
 LOAF OF BREAD

\ conference with the bakers of the city has been arranged by the city com mission for next Saturday at which time the question of a slight reduction in the weight of a loaf of bread will be discussed. This an nouncement was made last night by City Commissioner A. o. Lane.
 Some days ago it was said that the bakers of the city would ask for permission to reduce the size of the loaf, but President k. B. Essig of the Master Bakers associa- ton denied that it emanated from his organization. He said at that time that II the bakers asked for permission to reduce the size of the loaf it would be because the price of flour had advanced.
 Judge Lane said last night that the conference, he un- derstood, would take the form of a request from the bakers to reduce the size of their loaves, commensurate with the increased price of flour.

Sanders. who was governor of Louisiana for two years. remained bachelor In the state house but was finally brought to earth by Cupid and his marriage to Miss Emme Dick inson in Montgomery Monday resulted.
 Governor Sanders said while here yes- terday that the feeling in his state was that the cotton situation, while injurious for the moment. will be lighted by the cordial cooperation manifested between the people of the south and the federal government. He added that in connec- ton with the general European situation he held the opinion. which was general in New Orleans, that the result would be an era of unprecedented prosperity for this section of the country brought about by new trade relations which the south will be able to form with her South American neighbors.
 Governor Sanders, who is heavily in- terested in lands of Louisiana. said the reclamation projects of his state were of such magnitude as to be almost stag gering and that in rice and sugar as well as in other crops this reclamation work would be the source of endless wealth for that state
