DEFINITE PROGRAMME

>'Mr. Ross and myself will be ready to submit to the commission within the next 90 days definite programme for consideration. We are now con- cludng the report. It involves rela- tionship which we believe the owners of the property can accept It is up- . doubtedly to the interest of the pub lie. The position involved is the perma- nent basis. If the controlling inter est in the property proves unwilling to go forward with the matter on terms which the city commission can afford to accept a different situation will be presented and no prejudice win have resulted from the negotia- tions. Until the complete removal of the deficit from gas operations result ing from the city commission wise and helpful attitude in the substitu ton of coke oven gas and until the analysis of operations under a Scent fare made possible more exact fore, casts of future operation results no final basis for reorganization has been possible. l believe that we will be able promptly to demonstrate that the ' cent fare is unnecessary and that other reductions may be anticipated.
 In the meantime no one can doubt the urgent cash requirements of the receiver. While he has no legal right to emergency relief based on the bur dens thrown on the receivership by long deferred maintenance and nsuf- ficient equipment that condition un- doubtedIy resulted in part from made quate revenue, beginning in 1915. am not referring to the company 8 book value, but to its reasonable value. as our report will show and as our showing before the public service commission pointed out these condi- tions were chargeable to the owner ship and not to the public now using the service.

 To Have Investigations

At 11:45 o'clock yesterday morning Private Edward Cart man, Company L, Alabama City, on duty at Brookwood guarding five men held for in- vestigation in regard to the dynamiting of the home of 8 negro non-union m iner at Searles mine, accidentally shot and killed Monroe Norwood one of the men held for investi- gation.
 According to the meager Getalls that had been received by the headquarters of General Steiner in Birmingham, young Gartman was immediately placed under arrest by the officer on duty there Major Flowers. and the coroner notified of the occurance.
 Following this information the miii tary headquarters were unable to communicate with Brookwood, the tele- phone exchange closing on account Of tho holiday.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-12-26
HEADQUARTERS ACCOUNT

The account gwen Camp James Nor rs is this:
 Young Gartman was one of the SOL diers guarding the four to five men held at Brookwood for investigation in connection with the dynamiting of a negro non-union miners house at Searles few days ago.
 Young Gartman had stepped into a room two rooms removed from that in which the prisoners were held While In this other room his rifle was accidentally discharged. The bullet passed through the wooden wall O. the next room and lodged in the body of Monroe Norwood, killing him, Nor wood was one of the prisoners.
 Gartman was immediately placed under arrest and the coroner of Bibb county was notified of the fatality. The body was held for investigation pending the arrival of the coroner from Brookwood
 Following this preliminary report of the occurrence and the expectation of hearing further from Major Flowers on his securing additional details the telephone exchange connection was no longer available and up to last night Camp James Morris had heard nothing more.
 ACCIDENTAL SHOT
 The one certain thing is that the sho; was accidental. Young Gartman could not have seen into the room where the prisoners were held and could not pos sibly have located the man who was killed. A wall intervened, absolutely shutting out view of the prisoners lt Is presumed young Gartman wen. into the inner room on some personal errand to get a drink of water. or something of that kind.
 thorough investigation will be held by the military as well as the civil authorities.
 The dynamiting, for which the men are held at Brookwood, took place st Searles mines of the Alabama company A corner of a company house occupied by non- union negro miner was blown away by dynamite discharged during the night. The negro escaped by not being in that part of the house. A number of strikers have been held by the military for investigation in connection with this dynamiting

NO PERMANENT HARM

q have not seen the order, but if it is adequately restricted in these partic . ulars. no permanent harm can result. On the contrary the entire current revenue of the property would be sub ject to re-sta atement of accounts when a final basis for negotiations is arrived at
 The city could not take the posi- tion that an emergency does not exist Any one familiar with the operations must admit the temporary pressure upon the property. The earnest desire on the part of the city commission for the lowest rate consistent with ser. vice would not justify the commission in denying condition which is plain on its face. Nor could the city com mission properly insist that the emer- gency should be given no considera tion by the public service commission al- though the city's representative made it plain that the emergency constituted no absolute basis for relief and vigor- ously insisted that any relief which might be granted must be on tenn porary basis and safeguarded by reservations of the most decisive char acter.
 FUTURE VALUATION
 "It fs much more important to
 Negotiate permanent valuation
 for the future md a basis on
 which the city may expect service
 at cost accompanied by adequate
 local supervision and the Oppor-
 tunity of purchasing the property
 on . marginal basis within reach
 of the community than to force an
 immediate valuation before the
 public service com mmissiOn. A pro-
 cedure of that nature would de-
 strOy the ground that has been
 gained in the direction of a perma-
 nent solution and might leave the
 public straddled with n basic vaIun-
 tiOn for the future such as the ex-
 cessive valuation for the water
 works system which was narrowly
 avoided by the fair and construc-
 tive attitude of the city commits
 sion in negotiating with the own
 CTS.
 Too much credit cannot be given the commission for it's attitude toward the whole utility situation. For the first time in the history of these prop CT ties the owners have made q genuine effort to meet the views of the com mission and I do not hesitate to say that l consider that a result can be worked out of this situation by con cluding the negotiations which no con troversial action by7sthe city such as declaring forfeiture during the negotiations could possibly secure.
 For this reason not withstanding the definite conclusion of the city commission asserted before the public service commission to the effect that the present rates will prove adequate
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-12-26

Mir. Johnson makes 1t plain that the city is striving for a permanent settlement of the street railway question. regardless of the steps that may be taken by the receiver to secure certain temporary relief to meet his pressing. immediate problems.
 RESERVES RIGHTS
 While taking the attitude that the 7-cent fare is unnecessary, Mir. John ston points out that the city has re- served all its right so far as perma nent adjustment is concerned. He also urges anyone who is disposed to criti- cize the city commission for not mak- ing a more determined fight against the temporary 7-cent fare to under stand that the city commission has sound and compelling reasons for any attitude it may adopt during the nego- tiations.r

YES RIGHTS
1EN ttf '7IfI ' IT - Vt-NNs df' FO KIV " ' JOHNSTON'S STATEMENT

There can be no confusion as to the city's attitude relative to the receiver g recent application for emergency re- lief through a temporary fare increase. ~The city's conclusions were made plsfn to the effect that present fares ana rates will during the course of the year 1921 prove adequate and liberal. For that reason the representatives of the city repeatedly pointed out that the receivers undoubted emergency re- quirements for cash were due to de- ferred maintenance and capital expen- ditures for new equipment. which were, of course necessary to the pub He service, but were not proper charges against current operations.
 "The proceeding was. presented by the receiver solely as an ap- pIfcntion for emergency relief with assurances that the pending nego- tiations looking to an agreed valua- ton and a service # cost pro- grammc would be carried forward in good faith. As the hearing developed. 1t became clear to me that the public service commis- sion was not disposed to grnnt any permanent recent fare and that it would surround any emergency re- lief with conditions as to the capitalization of revenue under the temporary rate such as were inn posed by the city in revising the gas contract.

DID NOT EXCLUDE THEM.
Chattanooga z. w. c. A. Merely
Reouired Skirts for Girl Hikers.

In a recent issue of The Star a. dis
patch from Chattanooga, Tenn.,. was
printed in which it was stated that
two Michigan girls bound on a ma
tion-wide hike" held in that city by
a storm, had been refused admittance
to the Young Women's Christian As
sociation there because they wore
trousers. A resident of this city, to
whose notice this dispatch was drawn.
wrote to the Chattanooga z. w. c. A.
for information and has received in
reply a letter which he sends to The
Star. In this reply an official Of the
Chattanooga 'TY" states that he report
as printed was misleading" The young
women spent three nights in the asso-
citation rooms, for which they were
charged SO cents a night On the score
of their attire the official writes:
'Tt is true that they were required
to wear skirts during their stay in
the building. for standards here, while
that trousers are suitable
for hiking, do not regard them as
quite the proper attire for the lobby
and pariors Of a building which is as
public and as much freQuented as
any hotel in the city" ....
This is published in justice to the
Y. w. c. A, as putting
the matter on a wholly different basis
from that OF the dispatch from that
city as printed.
