WAS NO SELL OUT, SAYS PRESIDENT But Two Blocks of Conduits Yet To Be • Laid. The North Georgia Electric Com pany has not sold out to the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, and It Is not contemplating any auch action. The North Georgia Electric Com pany will submit a bid for the clty’a lighting before the next meeting council, and the bid will be materially lower than the price now paid the monopoly. These, in effect, were the positive statements of General A. J. Warner, president of the North Georgia Electric Company, to a representative of The Georgian Saturday afternoon. General Warner Is In Atlanta, attend ing n meeting of the stockholders of the North Georgia Electric Company and of the Etowah Power Company, the latter being the name of the Arm that furnishes the power for the Gainesville street railway and for the Nprth Geor gia.

"I ha\j* nothing definite to report,” stated General Warner. “The stockholders of the North Geor gia Electric Company and of the Eto wah Power Company aro In session, discussing various matters concerning the two companies and devising means ’’There Is no truth In the report that the North Georgia has sold out til the Georgia Railway and Electric Company or contemplates any such action.” The franchise of the North Georgia forces the company to furnish lights considerably cheaper than what la now ^■efl by the monopoly, so, if any charged bid la made at all. It Is naturally aup- l»sed Hint the rntes must be even lower than what the franchise fixes as a maximum. President Arkwright, of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company, has slated Substantially that his company will not make n lower rate, so the Indi cations are that the North Georgia will get the contract, provided the city does not build her own lighting plant.

In reply to a question, President Sim mons, of the Telephone Company, mat *d that less that two blocks of conduits remained to be laid. "To the contrary of the alleged com bination between the North Georgia and the Georgia Railway and Electric company,'' stated nn official of the oorth Georgia, "It Is a positive fact that the old company has thrown every Passible and conceivable obstacle In out way.- ✓ ' If there Is anything that the Georgia Railway and Electric- Company could have done that It did not do to prevent obr coming Into Atlanta or to hamper our coming, I do not know of It." _ St ill another person connected with BOB TURNAGE HAS ESCAPED; DUG OUT OF CONVICT MINES; ASSAILANT OF MRS.
