proving a route for the north and south
highway and the east and west highway,
was received by Commissioner Truss yes
terday afternoon.
The board of revenues resolution mere
ly stated the route of the two highways

ing them. 1t is thought this is the first
step on the part of the board of revenue
for the permanent paving of the east
and west highway, which will extend
from the corporate limits of East Lake
to the outskirts of Ensley. The route
will be along First avenue. The route
of the north and south highway extends
from the end of the Fountain Heights
car line to Rosedale.
Mr. Truss has been working on the
east and west highway for the past SIN
months He has received the co-opera-
ton of the board of revenue i'll the mat
ter and the passing of the resolution by
them taking the responsibility for the
maintenance of these highways Is looked
upon by him as being the first step to-
wards paving these routes.
THE citizens all along the route OF
the east and west highway are enthusi-
! astically in favor of the permanent paw
ing of this great boulevard said Mr.
Truss. The board of revenue is desirous
of furthering the interests of Brming-
ham and Jefferson county in every pos
sible manner. l looked upon this resolu-
ton passed by the board of revenue as a
signal victory for the men who have
an interest in this community. / conf

great projects the east and west high

CITY SEEKS TO ENJOIN
PROPOSED CHANGE OF
THE TIDEWATER LINES
Petition Filed in Circuit Asks That Parties Be Enoned
From Appearing in Federal Court-Also That B. R..
L. & p Co. Be Restrained From Operat-
ing the Underwater Lines

water lines be granted The service
commission granted the petition. The
next step taken by the Birmingham Rail-
way, Light and Power company was to
file petition with the federal court ask
ing that the name of the company be
substituted for that of ], D. Kirkpatrick.
BY the application for an injunction
fl ON the circuit court the city hopes
to stay the proceedings of the federal
court scheduled to come up before Judge
w. l. Grub this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
The main contention of the city is that
the consolidation of the two street car
companies is contrary to the constitution
of Alabama, in that section go states
that no corporation shall have the right
to operate lines in any city without the
consent Of said city.
Commissioner Weatherly, who is in
charge of the department of public serv-
ice corporations, refused to make any
statement in regard to the filing of the
petition for an injunction other than the
city was going to make fight to main
tain it's rights in the matter.
In the event the injunction is not
granted by the circuit court this morn
ing, it is thought the attorneys for the
city will appear in the federal court this
afternoon and combat the substitution of
the Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company for the name of J. d.
Kirkpatrick.

this erect, it would help greatly
LAS to the increased per diem charge,
/ am not of the opinion that this would
help. 1t would aid some railroads and
hurt others. I see nothing to be gained
by the exaction of higher rent than 40

this charge does not represent the real
value of a freight car.
1T is generally understood that the
interstate commerce commission is in

informed of this officially, but / under
stand it to be true. 1 do not know what
it can do in the way of affording relief,
although it is a fact that some of the
southern roads have suffere6 from the
practice of northern railroads ''swiping'
their equipment.
The great majority of these cars are
or eastern roads engaged in the export
trade, and are congested around the
ports. 1 should not imagine that more
than 100000 cars are congested between
Baltimore and Boston, although some
have made statements that even more

GASOLINE PROBLEM
REACHES SOLUTION
City May Buy Gasoline From
Out-Of-TOwn Dealers on
Lowest Bid

The problem of buying gasoline for
the cty's consumption for the coming
year seems to have been solved.
Clarence Lloyd secretary of the COM
mission, received letter from r. F..
Anderton, president of the Continental
Refining company of Oil City, Pa, yes
terday, in which the fiat quotation for
gasoline of 60 per cent gravity was quoted
f. o. b. Birmingham at 201s cents. Case
line of g. per cent gravity was quoted
f. o. b. Birmingham at Pig cents per
gallon.
Mr.. Lloyd wrote a letter to the Cont
nenetal Refining company yesterday aft
ernoon asking them to quote him their
figures on gasoline of 60 per cent gravity
ntank cars f. o. b. Birmingham.
Commissioner Barber, who has been
active in the price reduction of Gasoline
for Birmingham, stated last night that
he did not want to have to buy gasoline
outside of the city. II want the local
companies here to do the square and
right thing. If they won't do it. l am
in favor of doing everything possible at
law to make them, he said. IF COM
pany or refining company hundreds of
miles away from Birmingham can deliver
gasoline to this city for 31a cents per
gallon lower than the retail price here,
cannot see any reason why the local
concerns cannot compete with these
prices
Bids were asked by City Purchasng
Agent Griffin several days ago for gaso-
line and oils to be furnished to the city
for the fiscal year. At the present time
the contract with the city is with the
Standard Oil company This contract ex-
pires on October 81. The present price
paid by the city is , cents lower than
the market price.
Mr.. Griffin received bids from five local
concerns. The Standard Oil company
asked rs cents per gallon for Crown gaso-
line, on fiat price for the $4,000 gallons
necessary for the city's use during the
next 70 months. The remaining four con-
Germs bid l cent lower than the whole
sale price. or % cents per gallon. The
present retail price of gasoline is "a cents.
City Attorney Ullman is now engaged
in looking up the law as to the right
OF the city to regulate the price of gaso-
line in Birmingham.
