in a brief filed for Florence, urged
the court not to enjoin sale of

trio power to the city'S municipal
system, or enjoin it from obtain.
ing funds from PWA.
The motive of George Ash
wander and other minority stock
holders of the Alabama Power
Company, who appealed to the
high court to halt sale of trans
mission lines by the company to
IVA, were questioned.
The brief said:
1.-THE attitude of the dog in
the mangpr iu 49,
has never been regarded as be-
ing equitable or just.
"The bill seeks to enjOin the
city Of Florence from purchas-
ing the same power that the
Alabama Power Company be-
gan to purchase in 1926 and
the same power that it is still
delivering to the city of Flor.

the higher court Of Alabama"

D. {. DRY BILL
TABLED BY
CITIZENS
BY A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

The Sixteenth Street Heights
Citizens Association at last nights
meeting in the A. R. Shepherd
School, after a spirited debate,
voted to table the Guyer bill in.
troduced last session in Congress
to legislate the District of Column
bia dry.
The matter was brought before
the meeting by w. H. Ramsay,
who pleaded with the members to
indorse the bill. He pointed out
that the association had always
supported the dry movement and
the bill under discussion should
at least be Endorsed in principal.
In moving to table the report, Mil
ton Dunn, chairman of the COM
mittee on legislation, said the Dis
trict had one bitter experience at
being dry, and that the Guyer
bill, even If passed, could never
be enforced.
President Samuel B. LoveleSs
served notice the matter will have
to be decided at the January meet
ing, as it had been before the as
sembly at the two previous meet
ings.
Miss Freda D. Egbert. associa-
ton secretary, was directed to
communicate with the school au-
thorities to protest the proposed
removal Of L. T. Kelsey, janitor
at the Shepherd School. 1t was
revealed an unsatisfactory rating
made in May was not reported
until the present month. Mem
berS of the Parent Teacher ASSo-
citation and others declared that
Heisey's work at the school always
had been satisfactory as far as
they were able to ascertain and
apparently there was no just cause
for his removal. AS a Christmas
offering, he was voted $40.
A resolution by Perry Cleve-
land was adopted, protesting un'
sold newspapers from street racks
being scattered throughout the
associations territory and other
parts of the city. The matter was
ordered brought to the attention
of the police and editors of the
daily papers at fault.
The association also protested
an application made for liquor
license made for the 1900 block
of Georgia Avenue. 1t also elected
10 new members.
