 An order was issued by the public service commission today directing inc Alabama Power company to file within 50 days copies of all informa- ton submitted to the federal power commission regarding the cost of constructing the hydroelectric unit at Mitchell dam and the amount ex = pended up to this time on the devel- opment at Cherokee Bluff. The order also directed the company in the fu- ture to submit to the Alabama com mission within 30 days all such re- ports as are filed with the federal power commission.
 It is the first time the commission has directed a public utility to make a specific report of expenditures. The order was issCed under Section 42 of the public utility act of 1920, which gives the commission the right to call upon utility for reports at any time.
 Members of the commission stated that they desired to keep informed about the expenditures in develop ments by public utilities in Alabama. Up to this time the Alabama Power company has not filed any informa- tion with the commission regarding the cost of Mitchell dam or the eX- penditure at Cherokee Bluff.
 Com missions order.
 The commi ssion's order follows:
 Alabama Power Conpany-ln the matter of special reports from the utility in connection with the con struction of it's dams and power houses and the cost thereof, under authority of Section AZ, of the public utility act of 1920.
 Tt appears that heretofore, un- der various petitions of the Alabama Power company public utility op- erating in this state, this commission has issued it's orders authorizing sald company to construct on the Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers, dams and pow CT houses for the operation of hydro electric power; that said construc- tions have been authorized by the commission under and in accordance with the statutes in such cases made and provided, and particularly under authority of the Alabama public util- ity act of 1920; that under and by the terms of Section AZ of said act, that every utility, when and as re- uuired by the commission. shall lie with the commission such annual, or other reports and such other infor = nation as the commission may oe- sire.
 "It further appears that the con struction of said dams and power houses on said rivers was further authorized by the federal water pow CT commission which issued said util- ity a license for the construction and operation of a dam known as Mitch ell dam on the Coosa river desig- mated by the federal water power commission as Project No. S2, Ala bama,' and for the construction and operation of a dam on the Talla- poosa river, known as Cherokee Bluff dam, designated by the federal

Cold Weather Saues "'ScoId" rom Old Pond

BELVIDERE, N. J., oct. 24.-- Digging back 15O years into the musty archives of the common law Judge Runyon discovered Wednesday that he can legally sentence Mrs. Liske Szeweros to be tucked in the mill pond.
 She was convicted as a com mon scold" under a statute which has not been invoked in New Jersey since the revolution.
 Neighbors testified that she made herself an 'intolerable neighborhood nuisance," and that she circulated stories de- flaming the character of nearby housewives.
 It is not regarded as likely that Mrs. Szeweros will be tucked in the pond, due to ex- tremely cold weather and tho fact that the ducking statute, although never repeale is wide ly regarded as obsolete.
