Council Ignores Communications

The city council, at Monday nights
session, ignored the request of the
Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, XII
wants and Lyon clubs, and a resolu-
tion was adopted instructing the city
solicitor to employ such additional
assistance as he deemed necessary
to defend the city against the en-
deavors of the gas company to with
draw its service from Newark. This
would indicate another long, bitter
and expensive legal battle between
the city and the Logan company.

SELLS IS CLEARED
 OF PROF|TEER|NG
Jury Out Five MinuteS-Wit- neSSes Say His Prices Are
 Lowest Here

T. R. Sells, proprietor of T. R. Sells and Company, was found not guilty of the charge of violating the Lever act in the United States court yesterday after noon.
 The jury returned it's verdict after being out about five minutes.
 Several months ago Mir. Sells was ar rested, it being alleged that he sold some sugar on which he made a profit in excess of that allowed under the Lever act. According to the testimony intro duced in the case Mir. Sells bought 1000 sacks of sugar in March, 1920, in New Orleans at F.. cents a pound. It vast 241s cents and 25 cents per pound How ever, the government failed to prove that the sugar sold in April was that pur- chased in March and Judge W. l. Grubb in his charge to the jury told them that it was for them to determine whether, after paying the freight to Birmingham on this commodity, the price for which it was sold was an excessive profit. Witnesses stated that Mir. Sells sold sugar usually below the market price and it could be gotten from him cheaper than from any other broker.
 The defense did not introduce any tes- timony MT Sells was represented by Attorney Walter Brewer, and Ralph Quinn, assistant United States attorney, represented the government.

REHEAR|NG ID bE GIVEN ON STEELS
PIttSburg Rate Discrimination Again to Be Gone Over
 Before Commission

A letter announcing that the rehearing before the federal trade commission at Washington was granted the protestors against the United States Steel Corpora tion on the so-called discrimination In the Pittsburg base system of grading steel prices, was received by C. l.. Harold. secretary-manager of the Civic Assoeia- ton yesterday.
 The hearing has been set for November 15 at Ii a. m. A committee from the Civic Association will be present to rep resent Birmingham in cooperation with a committee from the Southern Steel Con- sumers' Association, other civic organ izations of the south and number of western consumers
 The decision went against the southern and western representatives. two to three. at hearing recently conducted before the commission, and they asked for new hearing on the ground that new evidence in the case had been secured.
 According to statements made by au- thorities on the subject. steel Is made much cheaper in Birmingham than it is in Pittsburg, and we are destrous of hay- ing the home product sell at price at least as low as that of the PittsburG com modity," said MT, Harold. The discrim- nation tends to restrict the production in Birmingham keep the manufacturers out of our district and centralize the steel business which congests freight trattic on the railroads and worxs q grea- nard- ship on sections of the country which are far from the base at Pittsburg
 As il stands now, Birmingham people must pay more for the nails which are made in Birmingham than Atlanta people pay. because Birmingham is farther away from Pttsburg than Atlanta. They must pay shipping rates to Pittsburg even though they go to the plant and haul their own nails away in their own wagon And this holds good with every steel

TYPHOID NOW IS
 NEGLIGIBLE HERE Menace Reduced to Minimum Through Good Laws and
 Their Enforcement

Figures on the disease have not been entirely compiled for the past summer yet but indications are that the decrease will be at least 50 per cent" said MT. Hornady. "The improved conditions in this respect are the results of four years of unremitting labor and lawmak- ing which 1 believe will make typhoid epidemcs thing of the past"
 Every year since 1916, when there was such serious epidemic of the disease, the number of cases has been decreasing steadily
 Chief among the reasons for the inn proved health condition in the city is the enforcement of the law which re- ouires the installation of sanitation in every home within the city limits, it is believed by health officials This was to put in the sanitation and then tax the property for the cost.
 Besides these drastic measures the city made possible by the legislatures pas sage of the law which enabled the city commissioners have passed ordinances compelling sanitary handling of milk and milk vessels in. all public eating houses, dairies and milk depots in the city and the screening of all food in markets, stores, fruit and vegetable stands.
 The prevention of typhoid in Birming- ham has been . great economic saving to the city and to the individual. &C., cording to Mir. Hornady. It is estimated that every case in the city averaged in cost at least s25o.
 Not only has the percentage of tv- phoid cases during the summer months decreased but all other similar diseases have shown decided decline in the number reported to the local health department.
 'We are by no means perfect yet but what has been done shows what can be done" Mir. Hornady concluded.

CITY WILL OPPOSE
 THE UTILITY BILL Officials Say It Would Take Control of Corporations
 From Their Authority

City officials will oppose the public utilies bill now pending before the state legislature on the ground that it will take away all rights of cities of the state to control or regulate public utili- ties operating in their limits, Commis- sioner J. Ellis Brown announced yes- terday.
 A copy of the bill was gone over by members of the City Commission and they decided to oppose it on that ground.
 Commissioner Brown will leave for Montgomery today to launch an active campaign against the bill The action is being taken in the belief that the pro- posed legislation is so far reaching as to affect contracts and franchise agree ments between Birmingham and public utilities.
 The bill is approximately the same as one which has been submitted to the legislature before and defeated" said MT. Brown. Tt takes all the power to regulate public utilities away from cities. and even goes so far, I believe, as to annul franchises and contracts already made by cities with public utilities
 The bill provides that all contracts be- tween cities and utilities must be ap- proved by the public service commission
 It is understood that the public serv- ice commission, A. G. Patterson, mem ber-elect of the commission, and the att torney general are in favor of the bill.
