to the consumer should the actual cost of the extension fall below the estimated cost. The present rule provides that for each new customer added to the line within period of five years, and where no further ex- tension Is necessary, the utilities company shall pay back to each of the original consumers along the line the pro rata portion of $50. without interest. The entire sum paid in by the consumer may thus be returned, except that after period of five years following the extension, the transaction closes. and after that time the company is not required to refund any additional money to the consumers.
 Company hfust Pay
 The ruling of the Alabama public service commission provides that in the case of domestic consumers of gas and electricity, the company shall stand the entire cost of exten- sion if 1t does not exceed $94.30 per customer. The ruling further re- quires that If the estimated cost ex- ceeds the actual cost. the difference shall be paid back to the consumers immediately upon completion of the work. The company must also re- fund to the consumers, in any way 1t chooses, the entire amount paid In by them, at six per cent interest The five-year period of repayment is not mentioned.
 As to the rules of public utilities companies relating to primary exten- sions, that Is, those involving addf- tions to the company's main lines. the pubIc service commission stated that 1t did not have before it sufficient data to enable it to reach any blan- ket decision. The commission ex- pressed the opinion that each case tn- volving primary extension should be decided on It's own merits. This Is in accord with the opinion of MT. Wynn. while others of the city administra- tion appear somewhat wary regard ing this phase of the controversy.
 Contemplated Extensions
 At present extensions of gas mains to Pratt City. Graymont. shadyside, Central Park and Vivian are contem- plated.
 Feeling at the city hall over the public service commissions ruling Is divided The general sentiment. how ever, Is that the city has won vic- tory in the case of tho individual consumer, while in that of contig- uous communities desiring extensions of gas and electric lines. the city has not gained all that 1t had hoped for. The worth of the decision to the city of Birmingham will rest on the ques- ton as to which victory Is more de- sirable; that for the domestic con- sumer or that for the suburban unit On this, the city authorities are at variance.

Ford lives next door to Kennedy. who is a driver for the American Biscuit company. Deputies express the belief that the dynamite bomb was thrown from an automobile and landed In the Kennedy yard by mistake.

Low PRICES INDUCE
BUILDING HERE NOW
LINDEN Needs New Homes Bad.
ly; Construction Costs Expect
ed To Mount Soon

Many new homes are planned
already for Lynden this Spring
assuring a period Of exceptional
building activity here. Lynden's
appeal for more homes. as voiced
through the Build With The
Birds" suggestions, is being heed
ed.
With lumber, labor and mater
ials again on a stable basis fol-
lowing advanced costs in war
times, conditions are right for
building now. 1t is this lower
cost feature that is making q
strong appeal to the many who
have been putting off building
their own homes until costs came
down. 1t is predicted that lum-
Der prices will jump when heavy
building activity strikes the East
in the next two months so that
action now will mean a real saw
ing.
LINDEN needs new homes, and
needs them badly. as many fam
lilies have been unable to locate
here because they could not find
suitable locations. II those who
have been putting off cOnstruc-
ton will start building now, the
situation will be relieved by the
addition of many of the older
homes to the list of rental prop
critics.

LYNDEN-S SEATTLE
ROAD PERFECT NOW
Fer First Time, Through Paved
Highway Offers Wonderful
Trip Now

The Lynden-to-Seattle automo-
bile road is now in perfect con-
dition for the first time in his
tory, and local motorists can look
forward to the journey with
pleasure.
With the exception of about
miles on the Waterfront
Road, the entire highway is now
paved, while the gravelled strip
is in perfect condition. without
a bump on its course. The state
maintains a large force of men
on the Waterfront Road, SO that
constant dragging and grooming
has brought it to the pink of
condition.
Aside from the convenience of
having the use of his own car
while in Seattle, the Lynden mot
orist actually saves time in max
ing the trip rather than in go
ing by train. Travelling at an
average of twenty-five miles an
hour. the journey can be negoti-
ated in a trifle over four hours
and a half, considerably less
than the train time, considering
the delays and extra time needed
to travel to and from homes at
both ends of the journey.
With all the cities in Skagit
and Snohomish Counties connect
ed by pavement now. it is poss-
ible for Lynden people to visit
their friends in all sections north
Of Olympia without hardly getting
off a hard-surfaced road, and
with none of the old-time jolts
and Inconvenience. AS result,
travel by auto from Lynden South
is expected to pick up to mark
ed degree now.
