HOLLYWOOD, Calif—(#)—The

__x-,;t;“Sqmg of it may, be justified,

it is resgnted.”
Later, through a .\pukvsnmn,l
Hays termed as ‘“absurd” a sug-|

the job he had held since 1922 at |
a salary of $150,000 a y=ear. He rew‘
fused to comment puon the \'irtuul{
demand of a leading member of |
the inter-faith conference in Ne\\'i

In the heat of the attack upon
its productions, Hollywood suddon-l

} pany to abandon the service. i
! 2. Petitioning of the Public

The tirst organization to take
iurricial notice of the abandonment
]of bus service here came when
‘lh(’ St. Elmo Lodge No. 40
| Knights of Pythias, passed a mo
llion at the meeting Monday
]nigm to go on record as opposing
itbe discontinyance by the Power
| company of the buses here and
'heartily endorsing any action
| taken ‘''to correct thig grave
efror against our citizens.” The
announcement wes made by Nor
man Nickerson, Keeper of Records
and Seals. : :
In connection with the situation
now facing the public, the Banner-
Herald has received the following
| communication from Eugene A
Epting, represgntative from Clarke .
county in the last session of the
legislature: ‘
“In the year 1919 the city of Ath
ens renewed the franchise of the
|Athens Railway and Electric com
{pany for sn indofinite period of
time, under which franchise = the
Athens Railway and BElectric com
pany or its successors were obli
gated to furnish electric power and
public transportation service to the
city of Athens, and were also obli
gated to pay a tax of 1% of their
i gross income for the mext ten
‘yem‘r. lor the following ten years
they were to pay the city 1% % of
their gross income and for the suc
ceeding 20 yearg to pay the city of
Athens 2% of their gross income
! and thereafter to pay 3%. .'
‘ “In 1930 the mayor and council of
| Athens entered into a contract with
the Georgia Power company,
whereby the Georgia Power com
pany, in consideration of being al
lowed to cease their operations of
| street cars in Athens, agreed to
incorporate the Athens Coach cow
pany for the purpose of operating
a busi line in lieu of the gtreet cars
operated by the Georgia Power
company. Their contract stated
that no agreement was made for
! the operation of their buses indef-
initely, but provided for a perioed
of two years in which they should
operate. The contract undertook
to relieve the Georgia Power com
pany of all obligations to furnish
mass transportation in the city .of
Athens. Ag a result of the con
tract in 1980 and the action of the
city council on July 6, hte people
of Athens have been deprived of a
public transportation system.
“The Georgia Poser vompany has
been allowed to retain the profita
ble fdgtures of thaiy Sranchise.
They have been allowed to,discon-‘
tinue a valuable puhlic seryice.
“If the citizens of Athens are in-l
teresited in the future and welfavei
of their community we urge their
attendance at the meeting to be
| held Wednesday night at the city
i hall at 8 o'clock, for the purpose ot
adopting a method of procedure
for the purpose of constructing a
ésts. At this meeting there will
also be discussed the possibility of
lthe city of Athens securing TVA
funds from the federal government
";_or the purpose of constructing a
municipal light and power distri
’ bution system.
“In discontinuing their transpor
itation service the Georgia Power
company has canceled <that part
of its contraet which it considered
undesirable, The citizens of Ath
ensy can as well decide to save for
themselves the enormous profits
that are now being paid to the
IHeol‘giu Power company for their
power service.

Commission passed by congress at
the last session has not yet bheen
distributed and I have not been
able to go over this act in de
tail. My understanding, howeéver,
is that the governor of each state
appoints a state chairman and then
commissioners are appointed for
each county. These county com
missionérs have certain duties un-f
der this act of congress. 'l‘heir‘
main duty, however, is to help
creditors and debtors to get to
gether and make an adjustment of |
debts so that the debtor can secure
enough money from toans or oth
er departments of the governmen'
to pay their debts by all the cred
itors scaling their debts by a cer-l
tain percentage. The commissions
ers will investigate and determine
exactly what the. value of the real
estate is owneéd ‘by the debtor, and
‘they ascertain the greatest amount
that can be horrowed on this real
estate, and théy act as a concillia
tory hoard in’ adjusting these debts
so that each creditor can be paiq
‘a certain proportion of the debt
‘due them. It.is usually considered
now that the value of the real es
tate is just about what the gov
ernment will lend "on it.. If the
ereditor obtains from the debtor
all that the property is worth, er
all that he can secure on it through
‘a loan, and the debtor holds noth
ing back, the idea is that it would
be to the best interest of the
¢reditor and the debtor to make an
adjustment. This would put a
large amount of money in circula
tion and at the same time rehabi
litate the debtor and allow him to
remain in possession of his land
‘rw,hich will keep him off of the un
employmetn rolls, &
j ¥f the creditor will not accept a
;tair adjustment they. may force
‘the debtor intd bankruptey, and
then they would be compeiled to,
take their pro rata cut of the bank=-
rupt court, which would always be
'less than it would have been
‘through a friendiy adjustment.”
