What is the matter with the street
lights?
That qhestitm has been asked" a
number of times of late. It is sug
gested by the fact,, which is apparent
to all who are observant, that the are
lamps over the streets do not burn
with the brilliance which was nightly
noted when steam power generated
the current which'supplied them.
Last night, for instance, the string
of lights in either of the long streets
running north and south looked. like
a procession of fire-flies. Those at a
distance of several blocks diffused a
feeble, pink light, instead of the clear
blue so familiar in the past. ,
Tho transformation from the per
fect illumination of a short time ago
to the rather unsatisfactory condi
tions now prevailing has caused gen
eral comment.
The Herald has made inquiry con-
i.
ceruing this matter, and is Informed
that the trouble is only temporary.
It should be borne in mind that the
power plant at the Big Shoals is still
in a partially make-shift stage. All
the machinery ha| not been placed,
nor has the power-house been com
pleted. It was with difficulty that the
plant could he made ready for enter
ing upon the fulfillment of the com
pany’s contract with the city on the
first of October, and since that time
matters hpve never been gotten in
ship-shape.
It is contended by those who are in
position to know that as soon as the
plant at the Big Shoals is completed
and the machinery perfectly adjusted,
as if soon will be, the current sent
into the city frill be regular and of
the proper voltage for the perfect il
lumination of the streets. Conditions
as they at present exist could not have
been avoided, and only. a little pa
tience on the part of the public is
necessary.

COMMISSION OF
GEORGIA REDUCES LOCAL
RATES ON SOUTHERN, CEN
TRAL AND COAST LINE.
Local freight rates on the Southern
Railway, the Central of Georgia and
the Atlantic Coast Line will be re
duced about 10 per cent, as the result
of orders issued yesterday by the
Georgia Railroad Commission ehang-
ing the classification of these lines,
and reduolng the percentage which
they are allowed to charge in addi
tion to the standard tariff.
These orders and the new rates
which they promulgate will become
effective on February 19, .or within
thirty days from the date of their is-
s^boe..r-" 4
■''fteportinig tBS^slgnifleaftce of- these
orders, the Atlanta Constitution this
morning says:
"While it is impossible to make any
accurate statement as to the general
result of theBe reductions, and the
saving to the people of the state as a
result of them, it Is roughly estimated
that they will amount to a total an
nual saving to the people of Georgia
of about 3300,000.
“The Central of Georgia and the
Southern are transfered by these or
ders from Class C, where they stand
at present, and in which they are al
lowed to charge 25 per cent, in addi
tion to the standard tariff to Class B,
where they will be allowed to charge
only 15 per cent. In addition.
“The Atlantic Coast Line has. been
transferred from Class B, where It
was permitted, to charge, 20 per cent,
in addition to the standard tariff, to
a new class, to be kniwn as Class A-l,
where it will be permitted to charge
only 10 per cent, in addition,
t “The Seaboard Air Line, which is in
Class C, is not changed, its fates be
ing permitted to stand as at present.
Cannot Change Rates.
“In addition to the foregoing the
commission also passed two other im
portant orders which will have the ef
fect of preventing the railroads from
taking steps to equalize these reduc
tions by changes of classification. ■
“One of these orders providfls that
the present prevailing • rates dn all
lines f in the state Which are lower
than the rates allowed to he charged
by the commission are adopted as the
rates of the commission and no
change shall be made in any of them
without the consent of the commis
sion being first obtained.
“In one sense the foregoing ip per
haps the moBt important order of all
those issued yesterday by the com
mission. The railroads of the state
have many rates between what are
known as common points in Georgia
which are ^considerably lower than
the rates which they are allowed to
charge under the commission's scale.
The railroads have been accustomed
to moving these rates uj) and down to
suit their own convenience and con
ditions, without asking anybody’s con
sent. Now these rates must stand as
they exist today until application has
been first made to the commission and
permission granted for the change to
be made.
“The other order issued by the com
mission adopts the Southern classifi
cation, which was made by the South
eastern Freight Association, to be
