NEWMAN AMAZED
 AT NEW BUILDING IN BIRMINGHAM
Deserve Friendship, Ann bition Of Public Util-
 ity, He Says

J. K. Newman of New Orleans, head of the so-called Newman interests which have such heavy investments in public utility corporations througno1t the south and who in Birmingham is also interested. in, the firm of Loteman, Joseph & Loeb, is here as the guest of M. V. Joseph. After drive over Bir- mingham yesterday morning, MT. New man said:
 Birmingham is ar1azing. There is no place more beautiful than your high lands and the number of fine homes under construction; seems incredible if one did not see it with his own eyes. You are building ten such homes where one is being built in New Orleans. It makes me more enthusiastic than ever 'about this great city.
 Relations To Public
 'PerhapsSit would iss in snstseerest the people of Birmingham for me to say word about my idea of the relations between public utilities and the people. The companies I represent want the friend ship of the people and are determined to deserve this friendship by efficient service and square, open and aboveboard dealings There is new era in. such things. The day of watered stocks is gone forever. We want to give the best possible service at prices which will give just return on the invest ment and place the properties in such position that necessary new financing can be done to meet legitimate expan- sions and improvements.
 T am convinced this attitude is the one that wins because it is just and right. When the public understands that this is our attitude l. know that they will cooperate and give their ap- proval, because they will know they are getting just the type of service that they are willing to pay for. This is q day of publicity. The public must be taken into the utility's confidence. Jug gling of figures is out of place in busi- ness nowadays. Utility companies must come clean about their business and when they do that the public is sure to tcome clean with them.
 This represents in general way the policy of our companies and am glad to say the public's attitude toward us is highly gratifying"
 Mr.. Newman is a son of the late Isadore K. Newman, who in former years was a frequent visitor to Bir- mingham and had many friends here.

Several cases have been brought to our attention in which these supervisors have been reluctant to recommend grad uates of Alabama colleges for teaching positions, showing a decided preference for graduates of northern schools and colleges. We recently made a check and found that only six of the 27 teach CTS employed in one company school were from the south."
 Mir. Harrison pointed out that the only means of assuring local control of all schools in the county was to insist upon every supervisor being on the county payroll. He added that there

Jack, however, stuck to his post
and struck the bull with the wand
