 Projected

The Alabama public service commission assured me that action would he taken on new gas rules of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company within week" said ". J. Wynn, city attorney, Wednesday, upon his return from a trip to Montgomery
 The city attorneys mission to tho capital was to submit number of appealed cases to the supreme court. By much persistence, however. he obtained a noon recess of the Ala bama public service commission and made plea for immediate action in drafting gas extension rules and putting them into effect.
 T told the commission that the people of Birmingham are impatient for fruits of the victory gained by the city in the long fight for more liberal extension provisions" said Mir Wynn. "-The commission is swamped at this time, and it was difficult to get a hearlns- They told me, however. that they would get to this matter this week."
 MT. Wynn told the commission, he said. that rules formerly drafted by it's engineer, l. F. Mcdonnell. were not acceptable to the city of Birmingham, that they were un- necessarily complicated, and that they did not comply with the com missions decision of September 19. Other rules will be drawn up. the commission said.
 The matter of electrical extensions, left In abeyance by the commis- sionss decision, was also presented by tho city attorney, who requested that action be taken at once. The commission declared that 1t would render a decision on this point as soon as it has framed the gas ex- tension rules, Mir. Wynn said.
 MT. Wynn said he also told the public service commission that the citizens of outlying communities, ex- tensions to which the commission had declared would have to be consid- cred singly on individual merit. were at loss to know how to proceed in order to obtain consideration. Mfr. Wynn said that the commission told him 1t would also provide instruc- tons on this point as quickly as pos sible
 Rules on gas extensions havo been expected at the city hall since the middle of October, the time set by the commission by which they should be adopted by the company. Much impatience has been exhibited by domestic consumers and by sub urban units desiring extensions.
