'HALEYVILLE WINS
POINT in FIGHT
FOR new DEPOT.
Interstate Road May Be
Regulated By State,
Board Decides
Estate Capital Bureau)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. Am
important decision as affecting the
power of the Alabama Public Service
commission to require railroads to pro-
vide depot accommodations was issued
by the commission today, in the case
of citizens of Haleyville versus North
ern Alabama railroad. t'sa
In this case the citizens are seeking
better depot accommodations at Haley
vile. The railroad filed a plea to the
jurisdiction of the Alabama commission
holding that since the railroad is en-,
gagged in interstate commerce the Ala
,bama commission is without jurisdic-
ton to require the defendant to make
expenditures for depot facilities, it be-
ing alleged that authority in this behalf
is now vested exclusively in the inter-
state commerce commission.
The Alabama commission in its de-
cision today overruled the plea of the
railroad and held that in the pending
case it has authority, If the evidence
warrants It, to require the railroad to
provide depot facilities for intrastate
commerce. In SO doing, it was held, the
commission would be exercising the po-
lice power of the state.
Reference was made by the commits
sion to the federal interstate commerce
act which states provided, however,
that nothing in this act shall impair or
affect the right of state, in the ex-
ercise of its police power, to require
just and reasonable freight and pas
senger service for intrastate business,
except in so far as such requirement
is inconsistent with any lawful order
Of the commission made under the pro-
visions of this act"
No Restraining Order
In its decision today, the Alabama
commission stated: 1.-THE defendants
plea fails to show the existence of any
lawful order of the interstate commerce
commission on account of which the
Alabama commission is prevented from
enforcing the police power of the state
delegated to such commission by the
legislature. If in the present case it is
made to appear by the testimony that
the existing depot facilities at Haley
vile are not adequate for the reasonable
convenience and comfort of passengers
and are not adequate for the protection
of the life, health and property of those
who desire to use and who are now
using the common carrier facilities of
defendant in intrastate commerce upon
the invitation, and at the solicitation of
the defendant, then in the opinion Of
the Alabama commission we have juris-
diction and authority to order and re-
quire the defendant to provide such de-
pot facilities as are adequate for all
the purposes of the defendants intra-
state commerce. There is nothing in
the acts of congress and there is moth
ing in the federal constitution which
take away from the states their police
power"
