Municipal Plants.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, September O.
The power house has injected itself in
several ways into Alabama's current
political and economic history with most
of the objective happenings pointing to
q swing of sentiment toward public
ownership Of electric light plants and
other utilities.
Point to this tendency was given this
week by announcement of David E.
Lilienthal, one of the directors of the
Tennessee Valley Authority, that city
must own its own distribution system
before 1t can buy power developed at
Muscle Shoals, he said IN letter to
Mayor w. c. Bryant OF Homewood, one
Of the two Alabama cities which during
the week voted setting up its own system
for distributing power bought from the
Tennessee Valley Authority.
This statement by Lilienthal IS ex-
pected to be factor in causing other
Alabama cities to vote on the matter
of public ownership Of utility distribu-

power. Six of these cities have held
elections on the matter. Five approved
by one-stded votes municipal
electricity distribution system. Home
wood voters Tuesday turned down the
proposition by a slight majority. Cum
tersville, which voted Monday, approved
the municipal plant 288 to 73.
The vote In Homewood was regarded
as important, as that city, which Is
suburb of Birmingham, was the first
out Of the immediate Tennessee Valley
to ballot on the issue. The Homewood
results also cast some light upon the
likely results Of the election Birming-

The elimination from the public

characterized as dangerous pubic
policy.

of Education, the statement was never

Regardless of the causes which led
the Board of Education to cut down the
schools program to save 5000, 900 this

people are now gravely concerned over

have on social organization and civic
life when the curtailed system comes
to fruition.
