UTILITY COMMISSION IS
 PASSED BY THE SENA TIE
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery, September 4.-(Special0 The senate this morning passed by over whelming vote the Denson bill transform ing the railroad commission into the pub lie utility commission, and transferring the regulation of public utility corporations from municipalities to the central state body. The only opposition to the passage of the bill was offered by Senator Judge of Jefferson.
 In connection with the passage of this Dill, 1t is an interesting fact that the sen- ate py vote of 16 to declined to accept an amendment extending by two years the term of the president of the railroad commission $. P. Kennedy. The amend ment was offered by Senator Mccain, and created an interesting and critical de- bate in which Senator Lusk assumed the leading role.
 The indications are very strong that the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-09-15

legislature Is determined to take from municipalities the right of local self-gov- ernment and give such right and author fty to the state. Some days ago. as IS remembered, the house passed the Cooper bill giving the railroad commission super vision over telephone and telegraph lines. Representative Shapiro of Jefferson off, fered an amendment eliminating Jefferson county from the effect of the bill but the amendment was overwhelmingly tabled.
 It Is safe, therefore, to predict tho passage of the public utility commission bill. The administration is supporting the measure, and some of the most astute corporation attorneys In Alabama have, apparently, well paved the way. It is un- derstood that the corporations would pre- fer being controlled by central body of three members rather than by 100 munich palities at the head of which are sev- eral hundred commissioners.
 The Denson bill. its author claims, .ex- tends to municipalities the right to reg clate service. but not rates and charges.
