None Are Bonded

In the form of an ordinance the
proposed settlement of affairs be-
tween the city of Birmingham and
thc Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company is expected to be
presented at the meeting of the city
commission Tuesday morning
It was stated at the city hall Mon
day that no hitch in the negotiations
mas developed and, though adoption
may be postponed until later meet
ng, the main points at issue have
been handled.
Sentiment among the commits
sioners is aginst the continued ex
istcnce of the jitneys, Commissioner
". 3. CIoe states that on more than
one occasion he has advocated pass
ing measures that would terminate
their existence. If they are allowed
to remain, it is stated, they will be
50 controlled that much that has
been objected to about them VIII
be eliminated.
210 Jitneys Licensed Now.
There are 2l0 licensed jitneys in
Birmingham now. Each pays an an
nual license fee of $50 making a
revenue to the city from this source
of $4,000 1t is estimated that the
jitneys collect an annual sum eX-
ceeding 100000. None are under
bond.
Several members of the commits
sion have expressed their desire to
lay the matter of the jitneys before
the public and take a vote on the
question.
Jitney men are reported to have
employed counsel and taken steps
financially to make a fight in the
courts for their continued existence.

Main difficulties facing the street
car company about its emergenee
from the receivership involve finan-
ces. The company will be called on
to finance extensive paving on First
avenue. If the present negotiations go
throdeh. and this paving alone is es-
timated to cost in the neighborhood
OF $500. 600.
Consensus of opinion as expressed
by many officials and Interested citi
zens is that either the street ears or
the jitueys must cease to operate
soon. The electric lines cannot be
kept going, it is said, if the jitneys
continue to cut so heavily into their
revenue and the jitneys are not
financially strong enough to take up
The burden of paving if the street
ears are removed. present develop

other must give way.
