“Every piece of property owned by
the Georgia Railway and Power com
pany is in the state of Georgia except
wliero it is on Georgia’s marginal riv
ers,” Mr. Arkwright said, “and tluj
company is a citizen of every county
and each of tho fifty-two municipali
ties it serves. The product we produce
is used in Georgia, Our properties ara
permanent, immovable, bore to stay for
ever. The land was bought from Geor
gia citizens witli moiioy brought from
the outside, nnd tho land and money
both stay hero.
“If the water power wo produced
last year had been generated by tho use
cf coal, it would have cost $3,000,000,
which would have gone out of I he
state. We are with you in the effort
to get new industries iu Georgia, and
wo arc working iu tho confidence that
the people of Georgia believo in fait'
treatment for industries.”
