Chief Joyner woke up to a reali zation that he had won the mayor alty of the city which he had serv ed so long and efficiently by a mere eyelash. The folks wanted something besides personality. They wanted principle. Goodwin represented that principle. Mr. Goodwin followed in the footsteps of another young man— James L. Key. Mr. Key had run for mayor on a previous .occasion. He said afterwards that the time for his platform was inopportune. He was defeated. He took his de feat philosophically. lie came back to the pttople and asked them to elect him an alderman. One of the most popular and one of the strongest men in the city offered for the same job. But Mr. Key got it. -The people liked his prin ciples. How it Can ba Dona. Mr. Key had told the people, and la telling them to title good day, that they have enough machinery at tl)e water-work, plant to equip an electric lighting plant to be owned by the city. He Is telling the people that the city Is spending with the Georgia Railway and Electric Company about *110,000 annually for lightning the streets. He Is Insisting that about half of this *110,000 could be saved by tiling the power out there at the pumping sta tion. He Is telling the people that conduits are already under the streets, which are owned by the people. These conduits are being used by the cor porations. But the city wisely re served the right to use these conduits. There Is nothing to prevent the city from running wires through them. Mr. Key Is Insisting that the city might even be In position to string wires on the poles which are already In the streets. He !s not quite clear on this point. But If the city couldn't. It would be an easy matter to put up a few poles for herself: fhat la. If the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany refused to sell the poles already up, preferring to decorate the street corners. Of course the company likes to decorate street corners, both with light and poles—for a consideration. Furnish Light to Individuals. Then the people might be benefited In their homes. After the streets were lighted the city could go ahead and furnish light for residences. .It might mean an enlargement of the plant, but that would be easy. There are several reasons why the cltlxen would rather deal with Its employees than with a private corporation—that Is, aside from the financial gain. Arbitrary 1" a strong word, but It Is the only one to be used In this connection. Here are a Couple of examples: Ralph Van Landlngham Is the pro prietor of the Majestic hotel. A lot of people know Mr. Van Landlngham. They know him to be a reasonable business man. Everybody knows the Majestic hotel. They know It to be a very excellent hotel. It has electric lights. Formerly this electricity was supplied by the Georgia Railway and Electric Company: but not nny more. Mr. Van Landlngham’s contract was about to expire. The Georgia Railway and Electric Company people wanted him to renew for a longer time than he had a lease on the Majestic hotel Very naturally he refused. They told him they would give him five minutes to decide. He decided In one minute— NOT TO SIGN THE CONTRACT. And Off Want tha Light. That was at .even minutes to 7 o'clock. Just at the dinner hour. The women were In their rooms dressing. Three of them were using curling tongs. Some of the men were shaving; others were trying to knot ties correct ly. At six minutes to seven there was a little clicking sound, and out went the lights. Feminine screams and masculine something else filled the air. Mr. Van Landlngham waa busy ex plaining for half an hour. When his guests learned the reason, they trans ferred their rage to the Georgia Rail way and Electric Company. Gas Jeta that had grown rusty from disuse were lighted. Candles were dragged out And they somehow made out. Mr. Van Landlngham waa obdurate about the contract. The Georgia Rail way and Electric Company people were obdurate. They owned the gas plant Mr.' Van Landlngham had to have light. What was he going to do about It? He showed them. In a remarkably ahort time the Majeallc. had a private electric lighting plant. Then the Geor- the plant. Mr. Van Landlngham didn't care to sell. He Is using his private plant. He owns It. At Corporation's Meroy. E. W. Allen & Co. operate a print ing establishment on Alabama street. They use a lot of electricity. One day the meter caught fire from being short circuited, or the wires getting crossed, or something like that. The meter was melted. Application was made for a new meter so that power might con tinue to be supplied. The company was told that Its meter had been melted by Its wires and that E. W. Allen & Co. was not to blame. The Georgia Railway and Electric Company refused to replace the meter until the old one had been paid for. What are you going to do about It? was their attitude. Mr. Allen had to have power, or shut down his business, so he paid for the meter. There are other Instances, AND THE CITIZENS KNOW IT. Then there Is the gas plant. If you decide that you don't like the Georgia Railway and Electric Company and are not going to use Its electricity, why the Georgia Railway and Electric Com pany doesn’t care. You will have to use Its gas. It owns tho gas plant. What are you going to do about THAT? Let City Own Gas Plant. Mr. Key says you ought to own your gas plant. So do a lot of other people, for that matter, but they are. hot alder men, and they can't get up In the council chamber and throw It In the teeth of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company.—Mr. Key can, and does. The Georgia Railway and Electric Company officials and lawyers claim they have a perpetual charter for the gas company. They assert that the city has absolutely nothing to do with Its franchise. City Attorney Mayson has disagreed with them to an extent. So have other people. But the Ignor ance of the people simply pains the Georgia Railway and Electricity Com pany. They assert that- the franchise was granted In 18S6. They point out that the state legislature granted It and that the city of Atlanta, then a little village, was not taken Into con- slderalon. They don't say much about the fact that this franchise was grant ed for the manufacture and sale of gas for ILLUMINATING purposes. They don’t call attention to the fact that this franchise was granted for the manufacture and sale of gas for IL LUMINATING purposes In the CITY OF ATLANTA AND NOT IN FULTON COUNTY. The limits of Atlanta were small In 1856. They have been ex tended considerably since that time. The franchise grant hasn't been ex tended BY THE CITY along with the limits. BUT THE GAS COMPANY HAS DONE THE EXTENDING. Liberal Use of Water in 8tock. The Georgia Railway and Electric Company doesn't say anything about the fact that a duplicate of the present plant could be erected for *500,000 to be OPERATED AND OWNED BY THE CITY. The learned lawyers don't tell the people that the present gas company has stocks and bonds out standing against It for *2,600,000, and that IT PAYS HANDSOME DIVI DENDS ON THAT *2,600,000. Neither do these learned lawyers tell the people that FOUR-FIFTHS OF THE VALUE OF THAT INVESTMENT IS REPRE SENTED BY THE FRANCHISE WHICH THE PUBLIC FURNISHES. BUT IT IS A FACT. Municipal ownership Is not a new thing In Atlanta. As far back as 1892, FOURTEEN YEARS AGO, a commit tee of council ascertained that the city was paying *55.000 a year for 80* arc lights and 614 Incandescent lights. That committee made the following re commendation: Urged Municipal Ownership. “We think *65,000 per annum Is s large sum to be paid for this service, and yet the people must have more light. The question is how to obtain the most light and the best service for the smallest outlay. We think our successors SHOULD EXAMINE CAREFULLY WHETHER IT WILL NOT BE ECONOMY FOR THE CITY TO OWN AND CONTROL A PLANT and furnish lights for street purposes from the same. • • • In conclusion we would etate that we are Impressed with the conviction that the city should own Its ELECTRIC PLANT, and we ask our successors to examine Its feasibility carefully AT ONCE, so as to HAVE THE WORKS READY FOR LIGHTING THE CITY BY THE EXPIRATION OF THE CONTRACT IN FEBRUARY. 1896. (Signed). , '•J. D. TURNER, Chairman. "C. E. MURPHY. "J. M. STEPHENS.' That was fourteen years ago. There Is no record that we have been able to find of such an examination. But WANTS TO RAISE THE PAY OF PRESIDENT TO SI 00,000 By Private Leased Wire. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 1.—Representative Maynard, In a speech In Ports mouth last night, said that he wanted a bill passed by congress Increas ing the president's salary to *100,000. Under the present system, he said, of special appropriations the presld ent receives nearly *250,000 annually. He thought the *100,000 enough for all purposes.

Key Saturday at the meeting of the finance commit tee held In the mayor's parlors. This as a rejoinder to the remark of Aider- man Peters, who said: “I am afraid that this report will cause trouble In the police board." He was referring to the recommendation of the em ployment of 40 extra officers. The meeting of the finance committee was one of the spiciest held for some time. Alderman Key, who throughout has been the backbone' of the civil ser vice movement, hit a blow while the antl-civll service people were asleep and .succeeded In carrying out suc cessfully his coup d'etat. It was well known that the matter of selecting the new policemen would be a feature of the appropriation, but the party which has up until the pres ent time fought successfully the civil service laws, seemed to overlook the possibility of their opponents scoring substantial point. When Mr. Key suggested the word Ing of the report. It fell as a bomb' shell around several of the commit' teemen. Mr. Peters then showed fight and tor a time warm words were ex changed, after which the above report was drafted. Mr. Peters still objecting. City Work (n Bad Condition. The opinion that the city work Is In a deplorable condition because of the scarcity of labor was freely expressed at the meeting. The subject arose over the appropriation for certain sewers and pavings. The city officials report that It Is impossible to get tabor, even at Increased wages. Throughout the city there are streets In condition auch as to require Imme diate attention. The property owners are appearing at every meeting of the finance and the streets committees and many declare that they are willing to have the work done at their own ex pense and let the city pay back later. Others state that the work Is Impera tive, but nothing can be done because of the scarcity of labor. Piedmont Park “Touehad." The *5,000 appropriation made for Piedmont park Is being steadily de creased by outside matters. The strin gent conditions surrounding the finance of the city, or rather the lack of ready money until the October apportion ment Is made out, Is causing this appropriation to be made a scape-goat for every purpose. At the session of the finance com mittee held Saturday *2,000 was taken from the appropriation for the Eighth ward school, so that the grounds may be graded and In condition as soon after school opens as It Is possible. It was recommended by the committee that *600 be taken from the approprla' tlon to pay wages at Grant park. PUT ON "TRAILERS" FOB THE NEGROES Conductors Are Said To Be Keeping Tab on Num ber of Blacks. Public sentiment is working wonders In the Inner circles of the Georgia Rail way and Electric Llghthig Company, and, If the rumors afloat are as true as they are pleasing, before long there will be trailers In which the “colored gentry” can have full sway. All the conductors on the car lines having a large negro patronage have received orders to keep tab on the number of negroes from whom they collect fare and to reporc the same to the office of the street railway com pany. If the number of negro patrons warrants, trailers will be put on these lines. When called upon Saturday Vice President Thomas K. Glenn refused the perogatlve of the newspaper man and would not be Interviewed Mr. Glenn sent word that’he was In session with several of the other railroad officials and cpuld not be seen before Monday morning at 9 o'clock. It Is probable that this long meeting of the railroad officials will hear fruit In the way of trailers. AT THE AUCTION SALE OF 34 DE SIRABLE LOTS, TUESDAY, SEPTEM BER 4th, AT 11:30 A.

Those sentences were: For municipal ownership of an electric lighting plant" and "Against tha mu nicipal ownership of an electric light ing plant.” The little sentence which declared IN FAVOR OF A MUNICIPAL PLANT received some 250 more votes than did the one AGAINST municipal owner ship. And that was the end of It, ex cept for spasmodic agitation. Waterworks Is Profitabls. The waterworks Is municipally own ed. It Is qot only self-sustaining, but pays the city a handsome profit every year. This profit helps to lower the tax rate. The gas plant was self-sustaln' Ing In the good old days when the city owned the gas plant. Those profits were used to help lower the tax rate. All the other utilities would be not only self-sustaining, but would bear handsome profits. Those profits would help lower the tax rate. Municipal ownership Is going to be tried In Atlanta. The people want It; they believe In It. The corporations use the argument of graft In public office If municipal ownership and operation Is tried. It Is contended that the city Is just as capable of employing honest officials as are the corporations.' And it is contended that the city is Just as capable of securing competent men. Other American cities are doing It. If those officials become arbitrary or gouge the people, the people can fire them out. But under the PRESENT system the people CAN'T.
