Montgomery. June 12-(SpeciaD One of the hardest fought legal battles ever to come before an Alabama court was brought to an end Thursday when the supreme court of Alabama ruled in favor of the Alabama public service commission in the Birmingham tele- phone case. The court, all members voting. unanimously refused the peti- ton of the city commissioners of Bir- mingham for writ of certiorari, which would have compelled the public ser vice commission to reopen the tele- phone case decided adversely by the commission several months ago.
 The style of the case was: Elk parte city of Birmingham Ire city of Birming- ham vs. Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company petition for cer- tiorari to public service commission.
 The case had it's origin during the reign of George Ward as mayor of Bir- mingham. Dissatisfied with the local telephone rates then prevailing the city opened a fight against the Southern Bell Telephone company. The city at torney was soon called into the fight, and litigation was started in the public service commission of Alabama. There was an agreement entered into be- tween the company and city, which called for a full and complete audit of the accounts of the company.
