Officers of the committee ruled late Wednesday night that he had not com piled with the requirements for entering the race. but al the meeung yesterday his name was allowed to go on the ticket. Previous to the meeting of the comrtit- tee, Thomas J. Judge, who is also a can dldate for Congress from this district and who will be opposed bg Mr Rice, had announced his intention of not raising any question concerning the eligibility oi Mr Rice.

 ADD NEW INDUSTRIES
 Perhaps the most important feature of yesterdays announcement by the power company officials is the statement that the company will soon be in position to cooperate with and assist financially heW industries which will help utilize the company's huge output of electricity
 From the beginning of their work Presi- dent Mitchell and MT. Chamberlain have wanted to offer inducements to new plants. They realized that their plants would produce a great deal more than enough electricity to operate every exist ing industry in this section of the south so that in order to get the full benefit of their investment it is essential to bring in more consumers of current.
 Mr. Chamberlain was highly elated with the developments yesterday.
 "Of course we have known for several weeks of the negotiations President Mitchell had under way" he said, and it is highly gratifying to know that he has been successful in his financial, plans and that the work planned by olli en- gineers and experts can now go for ward''

FORMER NEGOTIATIONS

Several months ago the Birming gham Railway Light and Power company re- quested of the city permission to substi- tute by-product gas for the present coal gas Reduced rates were offered in ex- change.
 However, the company stated that It would be impossible to enrich the by product gas to the standards demanded by the city government at the time nego- tiations were opened, which was that of 525 British thermal units, the matter was dropped. But not before the company had contended that for cooking purposes by-product gas was as good as coal gas and had also offered to replace all gas burners with patented burners invented especially for the use of by-product gas. Still the city was not satisfied and asked for further reductions in rates to make up for the loss of heat units To this the company refused to accede
 Then the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company extended it's mains from Birmingham to Ensley, repIa cling smaller pipes with larger ones 1t was discovered by city officials that the com pany planned to send by-product gas through this main, and the commission at once ordered work stopped That ended the by-product gas controversy until J. s. Pevear became president of the company some months ago. Presi- dent Pevear started negotiations anew and offered a sliding scale of 70 cents per thousand feet downward as consumption increased, the minimum for consumers to be 50 cents and large consumers 40 cents per thousand. The present gas rates are 95 cents a thousand feet, with a 10 per cent penalty for payments after 10 days have elapsed.
 It is understood that the latest propo- sition of President Pevear will receive serious consideration at the city hall and the matter of by-product gas is likely to be settled in the near future.

HEAT, LIGHT AND GAS RATES TAKEN UP AT CITY HALL Reductions Are Likely and By-Prcd-ct Gas Again
 Seriously Considered GO OVER SURJECT
 WITH THE OFFICIALS Ward Believes Best Results Can Be Obtained By Business
 Like Conferences Between
 Those Interested

Heat, light and gas rates were freely and frankly discussed at an executive conference between the city commission CTS yesterday morning and President J. IS. Pevear of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company and Lee Brad ley, chief counsel of the company. All existing contracts between the city gov- ernment and the company were brought out, laid on the table in President Ward s office at the city hall and then in a calm and dispassionate manner the entire sit thoroughly gone over.
 As result of the conference it is likely that Birmingham will secure some re- duced rates on steam heat and lights. The possibility of having by-product gas was also gone into.
 BUSINESS-LIKE TALK
 Following the conference President Pe- year indicated that he was pleased at the attitude of the city government and the city more than half way. For the commission President Ward said:
 We just sat down around my desk and had chat like business men at a club. There without verbal pyrotechnics we delved into the situation, and after getting our bearings we turned over the entire proceedings to Commissioner Weatherly for his settlement with the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. Results are bound to accrue from this method of procedure
 From outward indications it does not appear that the controversy over light and steam heat charges will continue for any length of time, and a settlement is practically in sight However, a slight hitch is said to be impending on the con- sderation of by-product gas.
