Power that WORKS—and
POWER THAT WAITS
FOR SOME TIME PAST the hydro-electric power output of the
Georgia Railway and Power Company ha* been dose to the
capacity limit of the company’s generating stations. That pres
ent water-power capacity is 100,000 horsepower. Practically all of
this energy is at work. Only enough reserve remains to provide for
the normal retail growth of the territory which the company serves.
This condition has arisen notwithstanding two factors interposed by us.
More power is needed even now. We should be in position to supply all
that any industry might ask, now or later, because that would mean more
business all around. No manufacturer is compelled to buy our power, of
course. He could install his own steam station and burn coal to develop his
own energy. But almost invariably he prefers our service as cheaper and
more efficient, and if he is faced by the alternative of generating energy
from steam he is all too liable to go elsewhere.
Every minute all day long down the Tugalo River goes water that might be
driving industries throughout this part of Georgia. It is a great waste of
natural power. Wc know that, and regret it. The faet that we have been com
pelled to discontinue our Tugalo development and postpone the day when we
shall have the river harnessed to useful labor affects no other interest quite
so directly as our own. IVe earnestly desire to finish as quickly as possible
this work in which we have paused. We should have completed it this year if
we had been allowed the just rates necessary to reassure lenders and enable
us to sell our securities.
Generating machinery for the Tugalo station was ordered nearly two years
ago. but we have had to ask that its delivery be delayed till w( can see "some
prospect of paying the cost.. We are ready to go ahead. On short notice we
can resume work on this, one of the very finest and most economical water
power developments in the whole United States, and can complete it in less
time than any other hydro-electric or any steam station of comparable size
could be undertaken or finished.
MeanwhPe we are restrained by the one condition which we are
powerless to remove the condition created by the Railroad Commis
sion's view r that the matter of street car fares in Atlanta rests with
City Council, and Council’s refusal to consider that matter.
When our credit is restored by an increase in our earnings commen
surate with the increased cost of the services we are rendering now, we
will go ahead at once with the Tugalo development.
Until then there is nothing we ccn do but wait.

(1) We have spent since 1912 more than $17,000,000 in cash
upon nothing but developing water power and building trans
mission lines and stations to distribute it. By that expendi
ture we opened tremendous resources of natural energy that
had gone unrealized since time began, and made available a
bountiful new supply of cheap power. If the territory we serve
had remained as if, was then, if it had not progressed apace
with us, the power developed by our expenditure of over $17,-
000,000 would have been plenteous even now, for it was far in
excess of actual demand at that time.
(2) Foreseeing clearly the absorption of our increased ca
pacity, almost before we had completed its development we be
gan preparation of still more power. In 1917, before the
United States itself entered the war, we undertook three fur
ther developments, as follows:
Enlargement of our Tallulah Falls station to Its full limit by
the Installation of Its sixth and ultimate generating unit, of 16,500
horsepower capacity, bringing the total capacity of that station
to 100,000 electrical horsepower.
Construction of an additional water-impounding reservoir,
known as Burton reservoir, on the Tallulah River above Mathis
reservoir; this to have a storage capacity of five and a half bil
lion feet of water, and to serve the purpose of catching and
holding for use practically all the rain that falls on the Tallulah
watershed.
Construction of anew hydro-electric generating station on
the Tugalo River below the present Tallulah Falls plant; this
station to have a caoacity of 65,000 horsepower; the immense
storage capacity of Burton reservoir thus to be used a second
time, (instead of only once as at present.
Those three new developments were to cost $5,000,000.
Of 1 his sum, $2,000,000 is the combined cost of Burton reser
voir (which will he completed about July) and the sixth unit
at Tallulah (which is practically completed now).
The remaining $3,000,000 is the estimated cost of the Tugalo
plant. Of that amount we have spent $500,000. At that point,
our inability to meet conditions brought about by the war
forced us to suspend work on the Tugalo station. The remain
der of its estimated cost, $2,500,000, we haven’t got. We can
not take it out of not earnings. Our net earnings have been
absorbed by the inadequate fare combined with the high cost
of furnishing street railway service in Atlanta. Financial in
stitutions are unwilling to furnish money.for development, to
companies that are not allowed to collect just rates for the serv
ices they render.
