 treasury and is not regulated by any
 one, so that it can make rates at will and whatever the customers will bear.
 These facts are given to show reason able necessity why the city should en large the North Birmingham electric plant for the purpose of exercising some control on the existing monopoly of the Alabama Power company in Birmin gham through its agent, the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. We are also Justified by the principle of the rule of competition to render superior service at cheaper prices We can do this and are doing it now"
 Commissioner Weatherly opened a newspaper and read a copy Of an ad vertisement on the situation in New Orleans. He said:
 This particular advertisement con- tains an interesting confession, in that Mir Ballard, the expert, refuses to sanction the construction of a muni- cipal light plant, but recommended the substitution of Sc flat rate. Mir. Bal lard said municipal plant was i'm practicable owing to peculiar local conditions obtainable nowhere else. By this statement of MT. Ballard, the !! Birmin gham Railway, Light and Pow CT company would attempt to delude the public when, as a matter of fact ] it is only deluding itself and its stock holders.
