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. Letters of Administration.

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..

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.
