as as a source book. Mr. Glass was

retary of the State Teacher’s Asso-
ciation, that one thousand copies
would be printed.
Mr. Glass was for twelve years
principal of the Zundelowitz Junior

Birmingham, Ala. — Citizens- of
Birmingham, by a decisive majority,
defeated a proposed four-fold plan of
municipal ownership of public utili-
ties. Practically complete returns
gave the following vote: For owner-
ship of electric distribution facilities,
6,144; against, 9,014. For ownership
of the water domestic service system,
5,880; against, 9,323. For ownership
of the street railway system, 3,518;
against, 111,366. For contraction arid-
operation of a central heating sys-
tem, 3,120; against, 11,008. Issues
of the campaign were presented by
both sides in an, intensive drive for
votes, and the election was settled on
the broad question of public vs public
private operation of utilities. It was
proposed by proponents of municipal
ownership that the City should build,
own and operate a distribution sys-
tem and buy power from Muscle
Shoals. The people of this vicinity
have for years been well acquainted
with the various pla-rig of the Govern-
ment for development and operation
of Muscle Shoals.
