POSTPONE HEARING
 |. OF GRAIN RATE CASE
Birmingham Grain Dealers Petition to Be Heard
 May 15

Montgomery. April 1s.-(Special) ) At the request of Judge Samuel D. Weakley, representing the grain deal CTS of Birmingham in what is known as the grain rate case" the state pub lie service commission, sitting in spe- cial session today, postponed the hear ing of the case until May Is, as well as all other cases scheduled to come before the commission at the regular May session.
 The grain rate case is the most inn portant to come before the commission at it's next session, and the hearing may consume several days. The grain dealers of Birmingham are asking Tor an 1-10 cents rate on grain from Riverton and Sheffield to Birmingham. The present rate of 16 cents is statu- tory one. having been fixed by the leg islature of 1907.
 In addition to granting the petition of the grain dealers for postponement of the grain rate case, the commission granted the application of the Jackson vile Light and Power company to sell it's property to the Alabama Power company. This case had been sched- uled to come up for a hearing at the last regular monthly session of the commission but could not be taken up at that time because certain formall- ties in connection with the case had not been completed.
