'Citizens $}ank Cities Can't Fix Rates Around the point made by the state railroad commission, that none but itself may fix the “just and reasonable rates” that are to be charged by public service corporations within this sla’e, the hearing by the commission Thursday morning revplved, in the matter ot the rates charged and service rendered bv the Gainsbo'o Telephone company at Carrollton. In this matter the commission has established ?a precedent by ignoring altogether the franchise granted the telephone company by the mayor aod council of Carrollton, in so far as the fran chise would fix the rates to be charged by the company. It had been contended by one side that the franchise fixed the rates un changeable, and by the other that it had fixed them condition ally. The commission held that no franchise can fix rates at all, and heard the Jwhole matter on its merits.—Atlanta Journal Carroll Democratic, The election for State house and county officers was held yesterday throughout the slate, and^lrcm all reports the vote was very light, and all the regu lar nominees were elected.
