The spread of blue grass is very
noticeable about town this year. In
streets. alleys, and upon vacant lots,
where no seed was ever sown. a rank
growth Of this grass is noticed. 1t
is probable that this grass will spread
to the fields and fsrms-in fact there
are already some spots of blue grass
and clover growing in the fields.
Another noticeable growth about
town is yellow sweet clover. 1t is
very thick in lots and streets in the
north part of town. Some kinds OF
sweet clover is grown for a feed crop
in Illinois, but we believe it is the
white flower clover.

Copies Of Public Utility
Bill Are Received Here
Weatherly Urges Legislators to Weigh Dangers
of Bill Carefully Before Enacting It-Might
Leave Question of Rate Regulation in Air

A copy of the proposed public utility
bill has been received by the city COM
missloners. The bill places all public utii-
tiles under the supervision of the rail-
road commission in addition to the powers
and Jurisdiction it now has over the rail-
roads of the state. While 1t does not
seem to embody the regulation of rates
charged by the public utilities, It Is sug-
gested that 1t may have the dangerous
effect of repeating specific and concrete
powers now possessed by public utilities
without giving the railroad commission
any authority in this regard and thus
leave the subject of regulation incom-
plete.
Commissioner Weatherly expresses the
hope that the Jefferson delegation will
scrutinize the bill carefully and do what
is necessary to protect the interests Of
the city of Birmingham. He made the
following statement regarding the bill
1.-The bill introduced by Senator Dem
son of Greene creates a public utility
commission to be known as the Alabama
public utility commission and transfers to
this commission all the powers and juris-
diction now exercised by the state rail
road commission, and confers on the new
body additional supervisory powers over
