The Southern Israelite FRONT PAGE NEWS The announcement of a million dollar building is front page news. The announce ment of sixteen million dollar buildings would command streamer headlines in every Georgia newspaper. For sixteen million dollars of con struction means work for many men, and income for many families. It is big news. Georgia Power Company is spend ing in Georgia sixteen million dol lars this year on new construction alone. This is the bill for just one year’s work. It does not include the similar amounts for the same pur pose which must be spent each year in the future, nor the amounts that have been spent each year in the past—to bring good electric service to the people of this state. Nor is that building program, which goes steadily forward year by year, the only way in which Georgia Power Company adds to the prosperity of Georgia. As de pendable power is brought to more and more communities, industry follows—bringing new payrolls and more jobs. As industry is electri fied, each worker can accomplish more in less time, and his earnings grow.
