sis Of the regular rates for electric
power instead Of at the rate of $3.50
per 100000 gallons pumped as pro-
vided In the franchise, that the city
should pay an Increase of ten per
cent over the regular rate on street
lighting, and that the city was liable
for the lighting Of the library rooms
in the city hall for approximately
ten years from December, 1908, to
the date OF the beginning Of the ac-
tion.
Judge Nuessle indicated that he
would hold that the rate of $3.50
per 100000 gallons of water pump
ed was the rate for which the city
was liable, that the Western Electric
Company had been paid in full for
the street lighting and that the COM
pany was not entitled. to any re-
muneration for lighting the library
rooms Of the city hall.

REPORT MISCREANT

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Some hours ago my young daugh- ter and 1 alighted from a South Ensley car at the busiest intersection in Ems ley. Others were getting on as we passed round the end of the car. By a fraction of a second, an automobile, contemptuously defiant of the ordi- nance that provides protection for the several passengers getting. off and on, by commenting machines to halt until the street car has closed it's doors I say. by a fraction of a second, an aG- tomobile driven by white man. missed us both. The miscreant's number es- caped my eyes, or he should not have escaped my wrath.
 Precisely the same thing happened to me at the same point few days ago.
 Indeed violation of that provis sion happens all the time l have never seen an arrest for it. either here or in Birmignham. And it is the least par donable of any of the violations, be- cause it is so deadly deliberate. Speed may Sometimes be questioned. This act never need be- or very seldom.
 This is the first time I have regis< tered any public complaint, but as a matter of personal and general obli- gation, 1 propose hereafter to report every huch exhibition of indifference to the safety of pedestrions, unless the rascal who ,perpetrates it is too quick for me. EDMONDS BENNETT.

WATCH BRAKES

To the Editor of The Age Herald: Much. has been said in your good paper regarding the-ewo deplorable au- tomobile accidents recently which cost the lives of two of our highly es- teemed citizens and while I thoroughly agree with the element that is crying for the enforcement of the traffic laws, I believe that the trouble does
 rot lie altogether with violators of the speed laws.
 1 there is no law dn the statutes of this or any other city that would hold in control the driver of 8 stolen automo- bile, for he has already broken all God and man. made laws. Therefore, contend that a strict enforcement of the speed laws would not have pre- vented this particular accident; while in the case of the Norwood bus and Mrs. Bickell. the evidence shows that neither of the, colliding cars was trav- cling at speed greater than fifteen
 D'iles per hour; therefore there is but one answer. Will the brakes hold? A driver should be able to stop a car as automatically as he would stop himself if he were running. He doesn't ask himself. Can I stop?" even when he is running his hardest He simply stops and the same should be true with automobiles.
 In order that this condition could be
 brought about, it would be necessary
 for our city fathers to pass an ordi-
 nance compelling the drivers of motor
 vehicles to, have thelr brakes regularly
