WANTS NO CHANGE
 IN COMMISSIONERS
Arlie Barber, a Candidate, Unquali-
 fiedly Opposed to Five Commissioners
ge-Herald

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: I have read your editorial in this mornings paper with reference to the five
 commission bill and while heartily ap- prove of 1t as a whole I have to take exception to two expressions contained therein One paragraph reads
 "The measure now pending in the legis- lature providing for an increase from three to five members is a political meas of commissioner would like to see the change made; but the public would derive
 no benefit whatever from 1t"
 I wish to say that I am candidate for the office of public safety commissioner
 but am unqualifiedly opposed to the i've | commission bill. It is as you say, po- ltical measure, which has many dangers
 lurking in it that tend to build up a po- litica1 machine in our city government.
 am likewise opposed to the manager plan
 as it is nothing else but czarism, and if
 as far removed from democracy as it Is possible to be. Absolutism is the best
 form of government possible if there could
 always be an assurance that a monarch
 that would place the good of all the people | first before everything else would alway. occupy the throne. But this Is impossible l The demand for more power in the hand.
 of the people themselves is growing yer, rapidly, and is healthy sign of the sue cess of the democratic form of gov ernment.

CUTOFF ORDINANCE
 IS NOT ENFORCED
Cases Involved Being Set tied Amicably by the Wa
 ter Company

The ordinance adopted by the city commissioners some time ago to pro hibit the waterworks company from cutting off water for bills past due has never gone into effect and it is stated by the commissioners that the cases in- volved are being settled amicably.
 For a time there were reports that there were serious differences between the waterworks company and the city commission over the ordinance. Super irtendent H. H. Horner of the water company made strenuous protests against it at the time 1t was adopted, the ordinance forbidding the water company to cut off the water service In forcing collections for past quar- ters. The company was not denied the privilege of cutting off water to com pei payment of bills for current quar- ters, but where bills for past quarters were in dispute the ordinance forbid it.
 Owing to the waterworlxs war which waged last fall and winter. many per sons had held up payment of their bills, but never had their service cut off by the water company. These bills the waterworks company now is attempt ing to settle, 1t is said. and in some cases began cutting off water to force the payment. The missioners then passed the ordinance prohibiting the cutting off of water under these cir cumstanccs
 The official publication of the ordi- nance by the city has been held up, however. and it has therefore nevor gone into effect. Complaints varying in number from couple to four or i've are received by the commissioners daily about the water company cutting off service. but Commissioner Weath- erly stated yesterday that the water orks company had informed him that the cases were being adjusted amicably without cutting off water and that therefore the publication of the ordi- nance and its enforcement was being held up.

GADSDEN ROAD WILL BE REPAIRED FIRST
Etowah County to Improve Highway From St. Clair
 County Line

That one of the first roads to be made perfect in the Etowah county expenditure of 5000 for that purpose would be the route between this city and Gadsden was an announcement here yesterday of B. w Duke. He is a member of the county commission in charge of the expenditure Of the money to improve the roads of Etowah county. MT. Duke was here yes terday to make purchases for the engi- neering department, and was guest of William H. Weller at the Newspaper club for luncheon.
 MT. Duke said that St. Clair county and Jefferson county had constructed splendid road from here to the Etowaf county line, and that it was the purpose of the Etowah officials to construct a good highway from the St. Clair county line into Gadsden.
 T believe that this will be done first said MT. Duke. We have too many goot friends in Birmingham and there are toe many of them who want to come to set
 us for this work to be delayed. We have
 also in our community great many cit
 izens upon whom fortune has smiled, and they own machines. At times they car find no solace in Gadsden and want te
 come to Birmingham.
 1 While 1t Is a rare situation at thu
 same time it is found frequently in 6 community as great and as cosmopolitan
 as Gadsden. For these two reasons thi,
 work will be started first. Again. it is z great saving to our own people to have
 this highway connected up. We will have
 in mind constantly the need of our farm
 CTS. and I believe they will stand righ 1 behind us in this campaign. I have beer assured that we will be given authorit,
 to prosecute this campaign for better
 roads to the maximum point.
 Tn connection with the highway be
 tween our city and Gadsden 1t has beer
 suggested to me that by the repairs tt
 this highway we will encourage a heav,
 travel from Birmingham to our city. Thil
 will help us and will also give the people
 of this community chance to get in bet
 ter touch with us.''
 MT. Duke said in addition to the $200o o0 now in hand that there had been suggest ed other community enterprises at Gads den which successfully carried out would | stamp Gadsden as a community of pro gress and unusual resourcefulness. H. would not at this time indicate what thu new propositions were that are now en- !, gazing the thought of some of Gadsden'I 1 citizens.
