THESE BILLS WILL
Facts of Vital Interest to
Everybody in Georgia.
Two Very Dangerous
Constitutional Amend
ments Suggested.
During the 1920 session of the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia there wer
introduced two Constitutional Amend
ments which have a direct bearing oi
the earnings and values of the prop
erty of every citizen of the state, am
because of the declaration by the pro
moters of these bills, that they will bi
presented again to the next Genera
Assembly, it is the purpose of this
publication to acquaint the people oi
Georgia with the nature of these pro
posed bills.
The First Bill Is:
A constitutional amendment t<
authorize the General Assembly t<
create a “Hydro-Electric Power Com
mission” with authority to incur debt
in the name of the State for the pur
pose of purchasing, leasing, construct
ing, operating and maintaining publh
utilities, such as water works, street
railways and plants for the genera
tion, transmission, distribution and
sale of electric or other light, heat ot
power, arid transmission lines or othei
means for the transmission end distri
button of light, heat and power. Thi
hill gives the proposed the Hydro-Electrn
Power Commission authority t<
condemn any and all such public utili
ties, a >td exempts them when to «c
quired, from the supervision of th,
Railroad Commission of Georgia
which now has control of the ratei
and operating practices of all sucl
utilities in the State.
The J?eco«u| Bill Is:
A constitutional amendment t<
authorize cities, towns and counties
to exceed the limitation of seven pei
cent on debts, for the purpose the of'pro
viditig money to carry out Powei pro
gramme of the Hydro-Electric
Commission as outlined in the previ
ous hill. It cancels the limitatiom
and restrictions imposed by the Con
stitution as to the issuance of bond:
by counties and municipalities of the
State.
What Do These Bills Mean!
A MODEST ESTIMATE OF THE
PRESENT VALUE OF ALL OF
THE PROPERTIES IN GEORGIA
AFFECTED BY THESE BILLS IS
$150,000,000.00. The annual interest
on that amount of debt at the lowest
rate of interest would be $7,600,000.00
The State of Georgia, and its coun¬
ties, cities and towns, would issue
bonds, first for the Then purchase they price of
these properties. would
issue more bonds every year for im¬
provements.
Then they would issue some more
bonds to cover the deficiencies In op¬
erating the plants in the large cities i
at rates lower than the cost of service.
Every bond issued would be a mort¬
gage on every home and farm in the
State.
Every dwelling, every farm owner
and every renter would be taxed tc
pay the interest on these bonds, tc
that the people living in the eitiei and
towns might have cheaper street car
fares, cheaper gas, and cheaper lightt
than the cost of furnishing them.
If you desire It, copies of these bilk
will be mailed you if you will send
your name and P. O. address to this
paper.
