He would end the conflict over trans-|. mission lines and. the sale of power to municipalities and de- termine, by measurements of cost and of service, who has the best right to remain in the power field: ‘The general opinion is that the President stands back of the Lilienthal policy and that, in the event of a hopeless clash between the two men, Dr. Morgan will step down. Mr. Lilienthal believes that public utility holding com- panies are uneconomic and unes- sential and that, because of them, the public pays too much for elee- trie current. Between the two men stands Senator Norris, friendly to both and generally considered the fath- er of the TVA. After giving out his recent statement Dr. Morgan conferred with the Nebraskan who pronounced his “one of the greatest men in public life,” whose “only concern is the public interest.” Senator Norris, while professing the greatest respect for Dr. Morgan personally, said that while agreeing with most of his policies, there were two things} he disagreed with. He thought that the Governmient should buy. transmission lines and pay what they are worth to avoid injury to! private investments if this can be avoided but the Senator thinks that the last resort has béen}: feached because of the legal fights instigated by the power} companies. The TVA has been prevented from buying tratiemiasl sion lines after entering into agreements because of litigation and so, according to the Nebras- kan, the TVA has won the suit but lost millions and the power companies have lost the suit but, through injunctions, have continu- ed to sell electricity and make ex- orbitant profits. The other disagreement on the part of the Senator, while admit-! ting that it is a hardship on pri-; vate companies to lose the busi- ness of municipalities they now} serve, even though they are paid @ full value for their distribution! systems, he explained that in pass- ing the TVA bill, provision was inserted giving the Authority the power to take over whole systems} and sell them to the cities. This} was defeated “because of the op-} position of the private com-| panies.” Moreover, Senator Nor-' ris says that Dr. Morgan’s policy would prevent a municipality now served by a private company. from ever having municipal ownership, He points out that “if the private companies lose, it is because they; Bermuda Meat Market Handles FIRST GRADE BEEF Select Rhode Island Red HENS TENDER YOUND INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS | Phone 52 White at Virginia Sts. ‘AUTO TRIP TO SEA’ IS TITLE OF STORY IN MIAMI MAGAZIN. _“An Auto Trip To Sea” is the title of a very interesting story appearing in the De- cember issue of The Miamian and is considered by those who have read it one of the really true to life storiés of Key West and the Florida Keys. The writer of the descrip- tive story of this trip from Key West over the Florida Keys, is Bernard C. DeWitt, formerly with the WPA forces in Key West, but who was re- cently trans, rred to anoth- er point in the state. ‘On a number of occasions Mr. DeWitt’s stories appeared in The Citizen and were de- clared very interesting. In the descriptive article in The Miamian, the writer has drawn ah attractive and com- pelling picture of the Keys and the allure of a ride athidst the most beautiful natural scenery imaginable, in the most attractive section of Florida.

He is taking a train over a track from which he can not deviate. Stop and go signals are arbitrary, to ignore even one, will be costly to him. He must be sound in mind and body, a man of tested charac- ter and trained to quick decision; traveling over # familiar route, guarded by every known precau- tion. “And yet, we daily see engines turned over to the unfit, to the habitual drunkard, to the imma- ture, to peop’e whose mentality and whose physique would debar them from operating a switch en- gine on a spur of a railroad, and we actually ask ourselves wheth- er oF not we shall adopt a license system which would, feebly enough, debar the most unfit of these people from driving an en- gine at random over our streets and highways, “There must be opposition to this proposition, e!se it would have been automatically adopted long [ago, On what grounds can it be objected to?
