is
a bill to be brought before the legis
lature this year, providing for a com
p ete reorganization and enlargement
of powers of the Georgia Railroad
Commiss,on under the name of the
Georgia Public Service Commission,
Lhe levying of a license fee on all
porations under the jurisdiction of the
commission to provide for its main te
nance and the raising of the
rie* of commissioners to $6,000 a
Another innovation to be proposed is
hat corporations make their annual
tax returns to the commission instead
of the state comptroller general. It
is pointed out that inasmuch as the
commission is charged with the duty
of fixing rates, that it should appro¬
priately be given the authority to as
certian and flx values of corporation
properties upon which rales are bas¬
ed, and which are now computed by
the comptroller vi general. The present
* of the railroad
j name ,_ commissom, it
has been since 1907, when the pow¬
ers and duties of the commission were
enlarged to cover the local utilities,
such as electric light and power com¬
panies, gas companies, telephone com¬
panies, etc. The name, Georgia Public
Service Commission, is in line with
the names of such commissions in
other states, which have the same
jurisdiction and power®. Since its
ation in 1887 the commission has been
handicapped by lack of sufficient help
to properly and efficiently carry on
its work. To remedy this situation
it is proposed that a proper number
of field examiners, inspectors, engi¬
neers, etc., be provided to go annual
ly, at least, to every plant in the state
over which the conimissino hae juris
diction to see that it is being econom
ieally operated in the interest of the
public, examine into the character
and complaints of communities .and
see if a remedy cannot-be found to
take care of the situation.

STUDENTS RAISE PIGS
FROM DINNER WASTE
Worth County Boys And Girls
Practice Conservation To
Improve Their Schools
In the fall of 1917 fourteen grade
pigs were bought from various farm¬
ers and placed in the care of the boys
und girls at fourteen country schools
yf Worth county. The girls of these
jehools collected the waste from the
lunches each day for their pig while
.he boys took turns bringing ears of
?orn from home. One boy living near
-he school fed and watered it on Sat
lrLays and Sundays.
ir the spring of 1918 the fourteen
pigs were sold at auction at the coun¬
ty site for $590.00, and the money was
Pvided up and used to improve the
uuiidings and grounds of the various
jcbools.
After such a signal success the
uunty superintendent of schools ap¬
peared before the board of education
ast fall and secured from them the
cuuds with which to purchase four¬
teen pure-bred pigs. The county
igent was appointed to buy and de¬
liver the pigs and to instruct the
scholars in the feeding and care of
them. With the exception of two
ptgs that were fed some milk and pea¬
nut cake, all were entirely raised on
jorn and lunch basket waste, gaining,
m an average, 61.8%.
School being over, the pigs were
carried to the county site a few days
igo. where, at another auction similar
to the one of the previous year, $1,-
185.00 was taken in. The amount bor¬
rowed from the school boaid, $292.50,
was paid immediately, and the remain¬
der was again turned over for the im¬
provement of the fourteen school
buildings and grounds.
The young peorle of the various
schools, in order to secure as high a
price as possible, spotted each man
attending the sale from their locality
who did not bid on their particular
jog. Spirited bidding resulted, and
eventually every hog was bought at
a fair price by some individual of the
community ir which it was raised.
