NO EXEMPTION CLAIM

Nashville on the contention that It

Inprobable.
|When the Loulsvltel and Nashville
nade Its returns a few days ago to
tie comptroller general, this depot W'as
tot Included. General Wright wrote
be officials a letter of inquiry relative
o the matter, but has received no re
ply yet.
This fact probably gave rise to the
rumor that exemption will be sought
As a matter of fact tho building has not
yet been turned over to the Louisville
and Nashville by the construction com
pany, which probably accounts for ths
failure to make returns on It.
As the depot is to be used by the
Louisville and Nashville and Is a new
construction altogether, any plea of ex
emption would hardly bold good.

TO LOAN EQUITABLE MONEY
ON ALABAMA REAL ESTATE.
Will the Georgia Railway and Elec
tric Company have active competition
in Atlanta In lighting?
This question will be answered Mon.
day afternoon when the bid 'of the
North Georgia Electric Company for
the lighting of the city Is opened and
read.
Under the franchise granted the
North Georgia, the company, If re
quired by the city, must furnish the
city’s light about 25 per cent cheaper
than Is now being charged by the light
ing monopoly. The maximum rate to
consumers Is also fixed at a much
lower rate than Is now charged.
It is argued that If the hid of the
North Georgia Is appreciably lower
than required In the franchise, then
the North Georgia Intends to enter ac
tively Into the field of.llghtlng. In com
petition with the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company. If the rate Is about
the same, the suspicion that a commu
nity of Interests between the two has
been established will probably be cre
ated In the public mind.
If the latter Is the case, more active
steps will be taken by tho advocates
of municipal ownership, to establish a
municipal lighting plant In Atlanta.
An Interesting situation may develop
In connection with the bids. It was
required that all bids be In at 2 o'clock
Monday afternoon. At tho headquar
ters of the North Georgia officials
stated that the matter was In the hands
of Secretary and Treasurer Carlisle,
and that he would probably submit the
bid.
Mr. Carlisle was In Gainesville Mon
day morning. He was expected to ar
rive In Atlanta at 1:25 o'clock Monday
afternoon. The train, however. Is sev
eral hours late, and Is scheduled to ar
rive at 5:20 o'clock.
This makes It appear possible that
Mr. Carlisle will not be in Atlanta In
time to submit ths bid of the North
Georgia Electric Company.
Tho Georgia Railway and Electric
Company, through the president, Pres
ton Arkwright, lias given notice that It
will not make nny lower rate to the city
than that now charged.
Special to The Georgian.
Anniston, Ala.. May Anniston Is
Interested In the coming of Paul Mor
ton, president of the Equitable # Life
Assurance Association, to thla state
some time this month, and a delegation
of cltlxena will probably visit Birming
ham. where he will be, and make an ef
fort to have him come to Anniston. Mr.
Morton visits Alabama for the purpose
of making arrangements for placing
loans on real estate for his company,
who are closing out their holdings In
stocks and bonds and will establish of
fices In Mobile, Montgomery and Birm

Will tha city of Atlanta require the
W. J. Oliver Contracting Company so
pay the full forfeit of 27.500 for the live
montha delay In completing the Wash-
Ingtop atreet viaduct?
Will the city require, as a compro
mise, a forfeiture of 21,500, or will the
city require no forfeiture at all?
One of these measures will be decided
upon at the meeting of council Monday
afternoon. Two reports will be sub
mitted by the finance committee, which
met Monday morning to decide on the
question.
Ducts In Conduits.
The question of the ownership of the
city duct In all the conduits of the
Georgia Railway and Electric Company,
which President Arkwright contends
was given the company under the pro
visions of the consolidation ordinance,
will be taken up and a warm discussion
Is anticipated.
Alderman Key and Councilman
Longtno, tho two members of council
who were also members of the consnlf.
datlon ordinance committee, contend
that the city never Imd the least Inten
tion of giving up these ducts.
In this connection Council Longlno
will probably Insist upon a vote being
taken on hts resolution, calling tor an
election for ttOO.OOO of bonds for the
erection of a municipal lighting plant.
The communication from the T. J.
Eady Investment Company, donating
Hollywood cemetery to the city, with
the provision that the city assume the
payment of 2150,000 of bonds which
have been Issued, will be considered,
and probably referred to the cemetery
committee.

tions now being made with the rail
