JASPER COMP[ P[AINS| IF MPURE WATER AT RATE HEARING
Water Company Is Losing Money on Jasper Property,
 Weakly Tells Board
JASPER BUREAU | THE AGE-HERALD ! Jasper, Ala, March 21

The public hearing of the Jasper water case before the Alabama pub lie service commission here Wednes- day brought out a large crowd of representative citizens of Jasper. Judge Lacy made arrangements fer the hearing to be held in the large circuit court room, which has a seat ing capacity of about 800. About a third of the audience was composed of women, and when City Attorney Charles R. Wiggins brought in some samples of yellow water. there was a great deal of hand clapping among the women.
 John B. Weakley, one of the prin- cipal owners of the Alabama Water company's holdings here was on the stand more than two hours. MT. Weakley submitted figures on the valuation of the company's proper ty here, which was placed at ap- proXimately $100.000 by an engineer in 1921. This did not include the new Altering plant which MT. Weak ley hopes will clear up the water soon. MT. Weakley also submitted figures tending to prove that the company was actually losing money on the Jasper enterprise. The fig ures included per cent annual divi dend on the valuation of the prop erty here, which Mr Wealtley thought the company should have received.
 MT. Wiggins asked MT. Weakley what he and his partner paid for the Jasper Water, Light and Power company in 1917. MT. Weakley did not remember. He finally stated about $50,000 was paid for the com bined plants. Asked what the Ala bama Power company paid him for the power plant here the same year, MT. Weakley said he did not remem Der. Asked if it was not $48,000, MT. Weakley said he could not remem- Der. He said property at Attalla was traded in on the electric plant here in parts. Several witnesses, including some women, testified as to the poor quality and yellow color of the water furnished them by the water company; also as to the limited quantity of the water and poor pres sure at fires in homes and business houses.
 Additional testimony will be sub mitted by both the water company and citizens of Jasper at Montgom cry before the public service com mission renders a decision in the case, in which the Alabama Water company has petitioned the conmis- sion for revision of water rate.

FURNACE CLOSES DOWN

So serious is the shortage of rail- road cars and raw material that the Alabama company was forced to bank furnace No. l Wednesday night, and it will not resume operations until the situation is slightly relieved. The chief difficulty is in getting coke from the oven in the Birmingham district.
 Open hearth furnace, No. 6, of the Gulf States Steel company is down for brief repairs and will soon be back in commission. The company, it is said, will operate the entire battery as long as possible in order to meet the demand for finished products. All departments of the big plant are making new records this month.
