FORMER REPORTS T0 BE RECHECkED,

Cotton Mills Protest Against Delay In Transmission
 Line Hearing
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 CHE AG E-H EKALn MontRnmerY Ala. Anril 22

In making a reva1uat;on of the property of the Alabama Power com pany, the public service commission proposes again to inspect the re- ports which were submitted in the previous valuation case by Hagenah and Erickson, Morris Knowles and l. F. Mcdonnell, the commissions en- gineer, and to obtain such ad- ditional information as may be ne- cessary. This statement was made today by A. G. Patterson, president of the public service commission, as reult of inquiry regarding the com missions plan.
 An inventory and appraisal were made by Hagenah and Erickson, who were employed by the commission from a list submitted by the Ala hama Power company, after inyesti gations covering several months. Af- ter the inventory and appraisal were made, Morris Knowles was employed by large consumer of power to check the inventory and appraisal After Knowles had made his report the commission instructed Mir. Me- Donnell to make a check for the in formation of the commission.
 The report of Mir. Mcdonnell indi cated value greater than that sub- mitted by Mir. Knowles, although much less than the value submitted by Hagenah and Erickson.
 With these reports before it. the commission believes 1t will be able to make q new valuation, with the aid of such information as account ants will obtain from the books of the Alabama Power company, and without another long investigation such as the one which preceded the tentative valuation established by the associate commissioners, who re- tired from office January 15.
 Members of the commission intend to go about the task of revaluing the property at the earliest possible moment. They will go into every phase of the investigations of the three engineering firms and will call such additional witnesses as they believe should be considered in the valuation case.

April % to May g. The postpone ment was ordered following the re- quest of the city of Sheffield and the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce, which stated that they probably would be opposed to the extension of the line and desired time in which to prepare their case.
 In the messages opposing post nonement the commission was told by the Huatsville and Decatur or ganizations that the proposed exten- sion of the line is in futherance of the original plan of the Alabama Power company and that because of the growth of electrically operated industries in the Tennessee valley. 1t is necessary that lines be constructed which will assure adequate power at all times. The commission was told that at present industries in that section are supplied by one line from Gadsden.
 Those who sent letters or tele- grams opposing the postponement of the hearing follow: Lowe Manufac- turing company, Huntsville; Lincoln Mills, Huntsville; Directors of the Albany Decatur Chamber of Com merce; Dallas Manufacturing com pany, Huntsville. Huntsville Knitting Mills, Merrimack Manufacturing com pany, Huntsville; B. l.. Malone, AL bany; Alabama Textile company. AL hany; and Huntsville Chamber of Commerce.
