 While the city aud the large industries will be affected by the increase, the small consumer will stlll enjoy the low rates that the recent contract made pos sible
 T have no comment to make on the increase"
 From the big consumers there comes a subdued howl of d;sapproval.
 MABEN STATES CASE
 Cheap water is one of the essentials to big industry sad J. C. Maben Jr., vice president of the Sloss-Sheffiei1 Steel and Iron company. Water rates have advanced remarkably during the past few years. Three years ago the Sloss com pany had a contract of 3 cents per 1HcC gallons. This was raised to 6 cents then and now it is increased to 8.
 This increase will place on add! tlonal handicap on big industries of Birlhing- ham, Cheap water .s one of the most at tractive features to offer any prospective industry, and it is a bis handicap to have such high rates Before .ne in- crease became effective we were forced to pay too much for water. With the increase tie fdleS are. eAceSSlVely nlSn.
 The increase will make the costs of production greater ard this is certainly not helpful"
 WARD STATES FACTS
 George B. Ward, president of the com mission, said: An Scent rate is as cheap a legal rate as the city of Birmingham has ever had For the past four or five years the city has paid less than cents per 1000 gallons of Wa ter consumed. How ever, that fact is directly traceaole to concessions of the f5irmingham Water works company. That company, at that time, according to its contract with the city, might have exacted an S-cent toll"

IS FRANCHISE LEGAL?

Is the perpetual franchise held by the Tidewater legal property? Would the supreme court so hold were the problem to be submitted to that body?
 The constitution of 1901 declares that no street railway company shall be granted a franchise for longer period than 30 years. The perpetual franchise of the Tidewater was granted with the understanding that the Tide water would be. not a street railway, but essentially an interurban railway system.
 Is not the Tidewater essentially a street railway. and as such not entitled to the possession of perpetual, fran pbiSe?

COMPANY WITHIN RIGHTS
 IN WATER RATE INCREASE City Officials State That Terms of Contract Made Raise Legal Horner Declares Increased Cost of Supplies Is Re
 sponsible-Maben States Increase Handicaps
 Big Corporations -Weatherly Talks

Big industries will be forced to stand idly by and watch the water rates in-
 crease from to cents per 1000 gallons Under the terms of its contract with the city the Birmingham Waterworks company is within it's rights in placing the increase in effect, and no legal pro test can be raised. The large consumers feel that the minimum rate is tor high. The cause of the increase, according to H. H. Horner, superintendent of the waterworks company, is attributed to in- creased cost of supplies, coal, chemicals, and oils.
 The minimum rate to large consumers was raised from to cents per 1000 gal Ions on account of increased cosr Of supplies" he said yesterday 'We granted
 the rate of ' cents to the large consum- CTS voluntarily, as our contract per mitted us to charge cents as the nlin- imum rate.
 HORNERS EXPLANATION AS we found that we could not de- liver water to the consumers at ' cents and make money, it was merely a matter of good business to exact the mn mum rate.
 T cannot state how many companies are affected by the increase, as all con sumers are on sliding scale, and the rate depends upon the amount of water used This amount varies monthly. The industries affected are the rail. oad companies and the steel ard iron interests"
 At the city hall rothing can De done to prevent the increase from goIlss into effect.
 WEATHERLY IS QUOTED "The provisions of the Birmingham Waterworks company contract are such that it may charge as the minimum gate to consumers 8 cents per 1000 gallons ''
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-11-03
HOPE OF COMPETITION

"The perpetual franchise is ob- solete-a thing of the past" said President Ward
 'Tt may be recalled that the city council, years ago, granted the Tidewater perpetual franchise because the council thought that by that action. competition in the city of Birmingham would be guaranteed. In so acting, the council declined to accept an of fer from the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company of $50,- 900 for the right of operating cars along Fifth avenue.
 q don't believe that anybody wants to give the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company perpetual franchise. If the company, in acquiring the Tidewater, would waive that possession. many Of the existing difficulties would thereby ha n1aarad oW1V'

Ward Outlines Conditions on Which Settlement Could
 Probably Be Reached
FRANCHISE LENGTH BONE OF CONTENTION
Should B. R., L. X P. Co. Agree to accept Thirty-Year Charter Com mission Majority Would Doubt
 less Waive Other Matters

The chief obstacle in the way of the absorption of the Tidewater by the Birmingham Railway. Light and Pow CT company, is the opposition of the government of the city of Birming ham.
 That obstacle. in all probability, would be removed were:
 l. The Birmingham Railway Light and Power company to waive the pos session of the Tidewater of it's right to a perpetual franchise. or
 2. The supreme court. in this spe- cific case. to declare that in accord the Tidewater as a street railway company shall not possess a franchise of duration longer than 30 years.
 THE WAY OUT
 George B. Ward, president of the city commission. intimated yesterday Railway, Light and Power company would voluntarily yield the possession by the Tidewater of a perpetual fran chse, or if the supreme court would rule that the Tidewater's possession of a perpetual franchise was uncon- stitutional much progress would there by be made in the effort to consolidate the two systems.
 It is stated that two members of the commission. James Weatherly and Ariie Barber. would. in all probability, oppose the idea of consolidation were practically every obstacle removed. It is thought probable. however, that but for the possession by the Tidewater of a perpetual franchise. the other commissioners would withdraw oppo- sition.

all three 10 be raced on one after
noon. So far as we know no single
day meeting in the East, al least. has
ever offered so expensive and invt-
ing a program.
Further. to avoid the tedious delays
that sometimes accompany harness
racing. It is arranged that each one
of these classes is to he divided into
three heats. each Of the heats to he
race, and $500. will be distributed
as the purse for each heat, and when
the third heat is ended. the horse
that stands hest In the summary. is
awarded an additional 800; thus
making this horse the winner Of the
race. and the total Of each purse is
thus $1,000.
The advantage OF this class from
the horFemen standpoint Is that II in
sures a short race. and Il is possible
for a greater number Of horses 10 par
ticipate in the distribution OF the
purse than can occur under the ordi-
nary racing.

This system OF racing is new with
us here. and II II meets with the ap-
proval Of the public, as II Is hoped
that IL will. Il may lead 20 future
races Of this character. which will be
