The senate committee on local leg islation Wednesday afternoon voted to make an unfavorable report on the bill of Senator Brower of Jeff ferson, providing for the annexation of the steel mills and furnaces of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Rail road company To the city of Bir- mingham. The vote was four to two and came after a delegation of citi- zens of Ensley had protested against It's passage and after Senator Brewer had defended it as a just measure and one which should become law.
 Senator J. M. Bonner of Wilcox, member of the committee, announced that he had reached the point where he could not permit senatorial cour- tesy to force him to make d favor
 able report. He said he believed the
 senators should adopt resolution abandoning the policy of senatorial
 courtesy which had been used to put
 through local measures against the Judgment of members of the senate. Those who voted to make an ad- verse report on the bill were Ssna- tors Leon c. Brooks, J. M. Bonner, | Walter S. MoNeil and G. w. Duncan. | Those who voted against the adverse report were Senators Melvin Hutson and S. NJ. Adams.
 Senator Brower announced that he will make a motion to take the bill 1 from the adverse calendar. An in- vestiga ton shows that the Jefferson delegation in the house has not con | sidered the measure in conference and the individual members have not reached an opinion regarding it. | Citizens of Ensley who came be- | fore the committee in opposition to | the measure were M. H. McDowell | J. A. Dupuy, ". E. Turnipseed, George | R. Byrum. H. $. Meade Foster Ham | ilton, R. E. Chadwick, J. E. Lindsey, 1 N. W. Scott. Another member of thC delegation was W. A Spencer of l Wylam.
 Gus Benners Speaks.
 Senator Brooks, chairman, gave | each side more than 80 minutes to | state it's reasons. Gus Benners, coun- | sel for the Tennessee Coal, Iron and l Railroad company asked Senator l Brewer what would Birmingham do 1 for the area if annexed better than | the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road company was doing. MT. Ben
 ners sketched the history of the plant
 and told of the school system, of the l sanitary methods, of the lighting
 methods and said as a whole it could
 not be improved on by Birmingham
 It looks to me like grab-all scheme, |, said MT. Benners. What they want
 is to have us pay s1.50 taxation on | every hundred dollars, on property
 that has an assessed valuation of ] $S,000,000.
 M. H. Mcdowell of Ensley said that | 1t was not a question of lodging tax l ation for the plant now paid county | taxes. By the annexation, it would

Offset by the economic benefit to

ment Of agricultural lands now
in a semi arid condition.
The subordination of power
to agriculture" the commission
said, will only diminish power
in case il is necessary to stop the
entire flow of the river at some
lower dam at some particular
season to create reserves for the
agricultural community. In.
deed, this could not happen for
at least 100 years, as it would
contemplate a development in
acreage in the lower basin far
beyond any thing now dreamed
Of.
"The adequate development of
power can only be obtained
through erection of storage dams
and through irrigation of the
upper basin of the Colorado
river system. Irrigation of the
upper basin would act in itself
as a reservoir, regulating the
flow of the river, increasing the
minimum flow and thus lncreaS
ing the average power.
"Obviously, use of water for
irrigation in the upper basin
must in some degree diminish
the volume of power in the lower
basin. But it cannot be pre-.
tended that the upper basin is
to be denied the right to use Of
water for agricultural purposes
because of the power demands
of the lower basin. AS matter
of fact, the power possibilities
of the river are in no way di.

it is assumed there is not to be
