Oakley's S Fourth
Great Success

Oakley's Fourth of July celebra-
tion was the biggest in the past ten
years. The crowds here during the
day were the biggest and the atten-
dance at the dance at night was hig-
ger than at any time since 1872 A
pageant and public speaking at the
park, music by the Oakley band,
baseball game, horse races and wild
west stunts and fireworks were
prominent features of the celebra-
ton. S. p. Worthington was master
of ceremonies. Wilford Sagers gave
a brief and spirited grafton.
Mayor Edward War; and his COM
mittees deserve credit for putting on
e successful affair.
The pageant, under the direction
of Mrs. Maude NJ. Clark and Mrs. s.
p. Worthington. was thing of beau
ty and delight. A prominent Burley
professional man who was present
said thta he had witnessed pageants
in several large cities, but had new
or seen any that surpassed that CIV

.TIDEWATER LINE
 IS INDEPENDENT
Not Connected With B. R, L. & P. Co. Receivership- p-To Be
 Handled Separately

City commissioners will seek more data on the status of the Tidewater line before going into conference with B. R., l.. & P. officials, President McIendon announced Friday.
 The barley, intended to take place Friday morning at 10. o'clock, was postponed by the commission Thurs day. Consideration of the financial statement of the Tidewater line for the lsst five years and other matters will precede the conference.
 That the traction company receiv- CTS will seek an adjustment of the Tidewater proposition amicably and without bringing in the Alabama pub lie service commission as an arbitor was virtually assured Thursday, it was de- clared informally by officials in close touch with the receivership and the commission. -T
 What the receivership of the trac- tion company will tell the city com misison when the conference is held will amount essentially to declaring the court operatives of the Tidewater and B. R., L. & P. lines are open to what ever settlement of the question pos sible, it was intimated.
 It will assure the commission that the proposal announced Tuesday by Commissioner Harrison in outlining to Avondale citizens what might be done was only a suggestion and not a de. mand, and that should the city fail to agree to it the matter would not fall directly in the hands of the public service commission, as Commissioner Harrison hihted Tuesday.
 $50O,000 Loss
 The receivers are prepared to show, has lost nearly half million dollars since it went bankrupt, and that the court was not prepared to allow further loss.
 They will inform the commission that the probable sale of the B. R.. L.. & P. properties by the court does not include the Tidewater line, operated separately by a different receivership, and is in no way connected with the B. R., l.. & F. company receivership.
 Putting the Tidewater in shape to sell it, through the changes suggested by the receivers, will be shown the commissioners merely as an attempt to get the line out of receivership at the same time the B. R., L. & P. is taken out of the hands of the court. The purchasers of the B. R., L. & P. com pany are under no obligation to take the Tidewater and will not do so un- less it is profitable, they are prepared to show.
 Rerouting the Tidewater will save nearly $15O,O00 in new frogs and tracks crossing the 75 railroad tracks in it's path, it will be shown. The proposal carries provisions for handling 'the pas sengers now carried over the Tide water line by the addition of more cars to the other lines.
