CURES the following course of pro-

Proposed amendments shall be read

reading three -fifths of all the members
elected to that house shall vote In favor

shall likewise be read on three DAYS.
and If upon the third reading, three
hfths of all the members elected to that
house shall vote in favor of the pro-
posed amendments, the Legislature shall

The point made is that whereas the
constitution requires the legislature by
three-f fths vote to favor the proposed
amendments, in the case of the antifce
amendment. the legislature did not vote
on the amendment. but voted to submit

The argument Is further made that a

cast his individual vote against the
amendment.

City Attorneys Contention

City Attorney Boyd, in upholding the
end of the city, declared that the COM
pany was using the ordinance which de-
MED the people the right to turn on their
water after it had been cut off as big
stick, and that numbers of people had
come to him with tears in their eyes"
stating that they were denied the right
to get water from neighbors or to dig
wells, and that the city gave the COM
pany a big stick to hold over their
heads.
He stated also that at this time when
the banks and stores were extending
credit, the water company was sending
out bills at advanced figures. He de-
clared furthermore that many people have
asked him to see that they get relief, and
that il it was determined that the city
could not give relief, to refrain at any
rate. from helping the company.
Mr. Boyd considered the old ordinance
help to the company. and insisted
that it be amended.

Ordinance Amending Sec

PERCY, DEWINDT AND

Latter Claims That Old Law Helped
Company and Insists That This
No Longer Must Be

The city commission yesterday after
noon adopted ordinance No. 272-C, amend
ing section 77s of the city code.
BY the adoption of that ordinance, a
citizen of Birmingham may without vio-
lation of statutes, turn on the water into
his residence which the water company,
for reason, had ordered turned off
Determination to take this action was
reached by the commission after con-
siderable disputation between Walker
Percy attorney for the Birming-
ham Waterworks company; J. H. P. De-
Windt, general manager of the Birming-
ham Railway, Light and Power company,
and Romaine Boyd, city attorney which
disputation at times grew rather critical.
Mr.. DeWindt explained his presence
by the statement that the ordinance pro-
posed would affect his company in that
the people of Birmingham are more
prone than the people of any other city
to Jump their meters. which necessi-
tated the company putting meters on the
top of electric poles.'
The Company's Argument
Mr.. Percy. in presenting the side of the
water company, declared InaI the Oful-
nance which denied the people the right
to turn on water after 1t had been turned
off by the company had not been taken
advantage of. He argued that the con-
templated action of the city would neces-
sarily accentuate feeling between the con-
sumers and the company. He declared
that the Interpretation of section &c had
not been sought by the company, but that
after that Interpretation by the court had
been rendered, the company had been
compelled to make uniform charges.
He concluded his remarks by stating
that there could be only two points of
difference between a consumer and the
company, first, disputed BILL second, a
meter reading. He declared that the
company would pay a man TO be named
by the CITY for the n1rnose OF investi-
eating all meter readings to which OBJ
lection had been made.
The point was made by the city that
the company was protected in that II
had the right to demand payment in ad-
vance. Mr.. Percy retorted that that
course was necessary because the COM
pany did not have the right to select its
customers. Commissioner Weatherly, al
this juncture, declared that the company
was further protected in that 1t had
the right to demand a deposit.
