COMMUNITY

We recognize Tn business life as in everything else that things are not always what they seem, said 4. Se vier, eo-receiver with Lee C. Bradley of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. Friday after noon when he addressed the members of the Community club, on What Alabama Needs"
 First, Alabama needs real men for every job. not jobs for every man. About 90 per cent of the heads of the industries of this state come from other states, when they should come from our own university and poly technic colleges, and I am glad that these institutions are now producing men for these places, men of quality, not quantity. Alabama needs more tractors. not detractors. 1 mean by detraetors. men who do the knocking If you can't say something good, try saying nothing at all.
 Alabama X needs not more young men with speed. but more young men planting seeds, and that comes about by education. We must have more schools, and they can only come by bond issues. We cannot provide them by taxation. but they m, st be pi0Aihtd.

mission Friday afternoon the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company will be required to install extensions q8 gas lines totaling 162h feet for a Iprespective consumer and one meterfor the measurement of the gas without cost to the consumer.
 The rdles and regulations were an- nounced following investigations which, have continued for several
 Many complaints came from Bir- mingham and other sections regard i1lg the assessment made against gas consumers for the extensions Of mains required for the gas service The commission issued a citation to the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, Alabama Power company, Montgomery Light and Water company and Mobile Electric company to show why the rules and regulations should not be established applying both to electric lines and gas. mains.
 The order issued Friday will apply only to the gas lines of the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power com fpany. The commission previously had decided that the company must ex- pend S94.30 in constructing lines for the service of each new consumer, but
 
 garding what construction work could be done with this amount of money. The latest order provides that this amount of money must establish one meter and 162la feet of extension. For each foot beyond this amount the prospective consumer is required to deposit with the company 4S cents, which is to be refunded to the depos- tor with reasonable rates of interest.
 The new rules become effective December 4.

It will mean, he said, that the public serv- ice commission will be continually be- seged by the city CT the utilities company to make readjustments, as costs of labor and material fluctuate.
 City officials were of the opinion that this ruling of the public service commission is final and will go into effect immediately and automatically. Approximately $75.000 in domestic extensions and more than s$f50,000 in primary, or suburban extensions have been held up awaiting adoption of more liberal rules.

 "The commission finds that the amount determined by the utility as it's present average investment, per consumer, in secondary distribution mains of ninety four dollars and thirty cents ($9430), is reasonable as a basis for determining what portion of future extensions shall be in stalled and furnished by utility with out cost to the prospective consumer.
 "It now appears to this commis- sion. that, to allow competitive bids on gas extensions to retail consumers would be impractical and might give rise to injustices both upon the pub lie and the utility"
