Light and Power company re- duce it's street car fare to cents and other matters. will probably re- suit from a series of conferences to be held during the coming week be- tween William L. Harrison. commis- sioner of public utilities, and ". J. Wynn, city attorney.
 Investigation of the status of these matters was referred to the commis- sioner of public utilities and the city attorney some time ago, but has been temporarily held up owing to the engagement of MT. Wynn in the su- preme court recently, where the city had A large number of matters re- quiring the attention of the legal department
 One of the most important matters to be investigated by MT. Harrison and MT. Wynn is the litigation in- stituted some time ago in the chan eery court by the city against the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, alleging violation of its contract with the city by the street car company In raising It's fare to cents and seeking to have an order entered compelling the railway company to reduce its fare to 5 cents, in accordance with its original con- tract with the city, or suffer for feiture of it's franchise. What fur ther action will be taken In this case will be determined by the commis- sion following receipt of the report of Mir. Harrison andg the city attor- ney.
 Another matter on which they will report to the commission is the mat ter ofs automatic reduction of cleo tric rates as soon as installation of electric meters reached 22.500. Auto matic reduction of one-half cent per kilowatt hour was to be made as soon as this number of meters was installed, according to an agree ment by the commission with the re- ceiver of the company, to continue the old rates In effect until such time as the stated number of me- ters was installed. Lee c. Brad ley, receiver. recently petitioned the commission to set aside the automat- ic reduction and to fix the rate on a more scientific basis than on the number of meters installed.
 Future action of the commission in relation to telephone rates in the cor porate limits and other matters also will be investi gated by Harrison and Wynn and a complete report of their findings in regard to all of them made to the commission as soon IS possible.
