REPORT OF SURVEY ONI
DEATH REGISTRATION
OF COUNTY RECEIVED

Official announcement showing
that s7.5 per cent OF deaths In JEFF

tanned in letter received by DR..
]. d. Bowling, health officer. Friday
morning from DIR. II. G. Perry. state
registrar of vital statistics. The re-
port was based on census figures and
is part CT the survey being conduct
ed to determine whether Alabama
shall be admitted to the national
registration area.
A total of $40 deaths were taken
at random from census reports for
the months of August and Septem-
Der, according to DIR. Bowling, and IL
was shown that all except some 20
county department. The names OF
those who were unidentified by the
state officials was sent to DR.. Devil
ing, and he said that many OF these
are being found in the files under
slightly different names. Continued
investigation Will probably reveal
that approximately 90 per cent Of
deaths in this county are registered,
he said.
DR.. Bowling expressed qualification
at the results of the official sur
vey. 1T is even better than we had
anticipated" he said, The county had
previously conducted an unofficial
survey, and although not a single un-
reported death was found, It was
conservatively estimated that the re-
ports were 80 per cent accurate. Re

POWER COMPANY
PLANS To ABSORB
CAPITAL UTILITIES
Approval of Public Service
Commission Reported Only
Obstacle Blocking Clos
ing of Deal

II the public service commission
approves the proposal, the Alabama
Power company will take over the
properties OF the Montgomery Light
and Water Power company, now
owned by the Henry L. Doherty com
pany.
This was announced at Birming-
ham offices of the Alabama Power
company, following Thursdays con-
ference in Montgomery with directors
of the Chamber of Commerce, bust
ness men and some stockholders of
the Montgomery company.
The Alabama company now fur
nishes the power used by tho Mont
gomery company. whose dam at Tai
lassee was washed away several
years ago and never reinstalled. The
Alabama Power company announces
probable reinstallatton of the dam il
the deal goes through.
Alabama Power company officials
state that if the deal goes through
the power rates now in effect in
other cities served by 1t will prevail
in Montgomery and that, for in
stance, the change Will mean a re-
duction of So per cent in electricity
for cooking purposes and 10 per cent
in fuel for lighting purposes. The
Montgomery company now buys tho
power from Alabama Power com
pany and charges for distribution.
The middle man will be cut out in
the new deal, the power company
points out.
Gas and street car properties will
go with the power properties.
Montgomery Favors Move
Following the talks made at the
Montgomery meeting a resolution
was adopted to the effect that 1t
would be to the interest of the Mont
gomery district to have the power
company take over tho public utili-
ties
The secretary of tho Montgomery
Chamber of Commerce advocated in
viting the power company to take
over the local utilities because, he
said, charges for electric power for
manufacturing purposes in the Mont
gomery district would be lower and
this would aid him In locating num-
bers of industries seeking locations
but holding back on account of the
power situation.
Presumably a basis for the deal be-
tween the power company and the
Doherty interests has been arranged.
