COMMISSION FIXES
NATURAL GAS RATE
FORSYTH AMONG SEVERAL CIT
IES IN THIS SECTION TO HAVE
GAS BY NOV. 1 AT SAME RATE
AS ATLANA CONSUMERS.
By November 1, several Georgia
cities, including Barnesville, Calhoun,
Cedartown, Forsyth, Milledgeville,
Newnan, Rockmart and Thomaston,
will have natural gas service at the
same rate enjoyed by consumers in
the city of Atlanta, according to an
nouncement Saturday by the Georgia
Public Service Commission.
The net rate in these cities will be
$1.40 for the first thousand cubic
feet; $1.20 for the second thousand;
95 cents for the third thousand, and
75 cents per thousand for all over
5,000 cubic feet. There also is a ser
vice charge of $1 per month and all
bills are subject to a discount of 10
cents per thousand cubic feet if paid
within ten days after presentation.
The net rate quoted here, however,
is not subject to the discount.
The Public Service Commission ap
proved this rate schedule submitted
by the Georgia Natural Gas Corpor
ation, which is now laying mains be
tween Atlanta and Macon, employing
a force of about 600 workmen.
“This same company is seeking
franchises throughout the state,” the
commission announcement stated,
“and where more distantly removed
from the immediate territory travers
ed by the main bringing natural gas
from the Monroe, La., field, will, un
til natural gas can be carried to such
removed cities, install a butane gas
service.
“That is, just as fast as the work
can be done, where desired, and a
I franchise is given, gas will be made
“tvMiable throughout the state of
Georgia within the next three years.
The butane system of gas is a new
departure in the manufacture of arti
ficial gas, but is a proven success and
will soon be in use in many points
in Georgia.”
SHERIFF BITTICK BRINGS IN
THREE FORSYTH FISHERMEN
It is very frequently true that fish
ermen hit the home trail minus a lot
of the optimism and hope which
cheered them on their outward jour
ney. There may even be a variation
in their modes of travel, depending
upon the age and whims of the Ford
which they patronize. It thus comes
to pass that there are sadder features
connected with the angler’s art than
the customary failure to supply the
home with fish.
That variety which spices the lives
of fishermen was abundant in the
experience of three Forsyth citizens
who came back empty handed from
the inviting environment of Phina
zee’s Basin Tuesday night. On the re
turn journey, a merchant, a banker
and a fellow who works in a newspa
per office when he is not fishing, filled
to its capacitly a yellow and blue spot
ted Ford coupe which had long since
reached its maturity. All went as
merrily as a barrage in the Argonne
until the lights of Forsyth were about
four miles away. Then a tire breath
ed its last and left the trio conjec
turing dolefully as to how they were
going to go from there. With the aid
of a sapling the car was raised and
a spare tire was enticed upon the rim,
he merchant wondering in the mean
me how it had been possible for
1 "ter to be a fisherman and also a
disciple. The weary trio piled once
mon nto the faithful flivver and as-
Rhodes Realty Co.
Real Estate Specialists
ter covering a distance of a few hun
dred yards again came to earth to
behold a tire that was not proof
against the escape of air. A trans
portation parley was then held and
it was decided that the merchant
should drive the car on to the J. P.
Ivey Filling Station while the banker
and the editor-fisher brought up the
rear in the leisurely manner of town
pedestrians.
The car was parked at the Ivey
Filling Station and the three fisher
men set out afoot, gazing sadly across
the universe to where the lights of
Forsyth were shining on the other
side. There is- some luck, however,
even in a fishing trip, for while the
boys were going up in low, high, in
termediate and what-not, the hill
which leads to Ensign's Mill along
came Sheriff Bittick and saved their
lives, and thereupon hangs a tale.
It developed that the Sheriff was
not out merely enjoying the night
air, but had been called by Mr. Ivey
to rescue his filling station from a
trio of bandits, the merchant making
against the nocturnal background a
perfect silhouette of a safe blower,
the banker being an exact double of
Al Capone and the editor having the
guilty appearance of a Hoover Dem
ocrat who had just realized the mean
ing of the Republican tariff bill.

PAVING BLOWS UP ON MAIN
HIGHWAY UNDER SOL’S RAYS
« ————
ATLANTA. — Reports are being
brought in of considerable heat dam
age to paved highways in the middle
and lower part of the state. Between
Macon and Atlanta there are many
places where expansion of the paving
has caused “explosion” of the con
crete material at joints, the damaged
spots extending entirely across the
paving.
On the highway between Macon
and the Florida line, reports indicate,
there are also a number of similar
breaks in the concrete, caused by ex
cessive heat and high expansion.

NUMBER TWENTY-ONE
TWinY WARNS
SEINERS OF FISH
PROSECUTIONS TO FOLLOW VIO
LATIONS OF FISHING RULES.
NO PERSON AUTHORIZED TO
GIVE SEINING PERMITS.
ATLANTA, Ga.—Peter S. Twitty,
state game and fish commissioner, to
day announced that all game war
dens, deputies and other employes of
his office had been instructed to pros
ecute seiners and netters and confis
cate all seines and nets used in viola
tion of the state fishing laws.
“In some counties the impression
prevails that seining and netting will
be permitted after July 1, but such
is not the case,” Mr. Twitty said.
“The general assembly of 1925 pass
ed an act prohibiting the use of nets
and seines for a period of five years.
This term will expire on Aug. 25, but
the same act gives the state board of
game and fish the authority to extend
the closed period, and otherwise regu
late or prohibit the use of seines and
nets at all times.
“Acting under authority of law and
on advice of the attorney-general, the
state board of game and fish at its
annual meeting on May 6 last, adopt
ed an order prohibiting the taking of
fish from any of the streams of Geor
gia by means of seines, nets and sim
ilar devices, such order to be effect
ive for a period of twelve months
from Aug. 26, 1930, or until the gen
eral assembly itself can take further
action in the matter.”
Mr. Twitty said that he considered
seining more destructive to the state’s
fish supply than any other thing. This
year, he said, there are more fresh
water fish in streams than for several
years, and largely because of the law
prohibiting seining.
