Thf fight for municipal ownership will commence with renewed ardor on Tuesday morning In the committee room and be waged In/council, at the adjourned meeting in the afternoon. The special committee appointed some months ago tb Investigate the fran chise of the Atlanta Gas Light Com pany will hold session at 10 o'clock. James I. Key. chairman of the com- m lttee, along with several other of the members, and backed by thousands of Atlanta rltliens who have clearly ahown their strong Inclination toward city control of public utilities, will, It Is believed, succeed In getting council 10 adopt a report providing for munici pal Inspection, and an Investigation Into the legal merits of the franchise, as well as getting an ordinance passed changing the city charter so as to make It legal for the city to own and —oio n gna nlnnt.

The first will protect the clt- liens front any Imposition the gas companv might be guilty of, while It (till holds a monopoly. At the present time there is no way of protecting the citizens through the city laws. The second. It Is believed, will result In' the gas company's charter being fund null and void. The third will give the citizens the opportunity to build a gas plant, for which they so unmistakably clamored In the last election. The Investigation of the gas fran chise has been watched with the great est of Interest. Despite the efforts to side-track It at every turn, both In council where the committee has been tends* to report and has reported sev eral times, and In committee. After fighting the matter. In commit tee, Mr. Key succeeded In getting two provisions of his former report report ed upon favorably. One of these pro vided for municipal Inspection, the other for a change In the city charter, allowing the citizens to decide whether or not they wished a municipal plant and making It possible for the desire to be carried out. When this report reached council an effort was made to table It. This was not successful and the report was sent back to committee. Since the voice of the people has ctlled so loudly for municipal control It Is believed the opposition to Other features of the report will not receive such bitter opposition as here tofore. * Because of the national holiday, eouncll will meet, only to adjourn Mon day, and for this reason the gas fran chise matter will not be taken up until Tuesday. At the session of council Thomas H. Goodwin, who had munici pal ow nership as the chief plank In his mayoralty platform, will appear before council and speak In favor of munici pal ownership. It * Is probable that other citizens will appear. Special to The (leorglan Waycross, Ga., Sept 3.—Labor Day was appropriately observed In Way cross today.
