CITY LOSES POINT
City Requests To Throw Out Power
 Company Petition

Judge Woodson Martin sitting in chancery court has overruled the de- murrers of attorneys for Alabama City seeking to dismiss the petition of the Alabama Power company for an in- junction to restrain the authorities of that town from attempting to collect a paving assessment of $15,O00 against the company's local car line by process lien and foreclosure. The court held that the supreme court has laid down the rule that a small portion of a public utility cannot be seized and sold under lien for street paving where there is danger of causing such utility to cease operation. It was also ruled that a personal judgement can not be secured in such cases. The pow CT company is resisting the assessment because its car tracks are not touched by the paving. They merely run close to it, the petition states.
