The resolution by Councilman Ter
rell, requesting the railroad commis
sion to order a reduction of the rate*
for street car fares, for gas. and for
telephones In Atlanta, will be consid
ered for the first time Monday after
noon at 3 o’clock by the Joint commit
tee from council.
This committee Is composed of the
members of the commltteo on electric
lights, telephones, and telegraphs, and
of electric and other railways, with
Councilman Pomeroy chairman of the
former and Councilman Huddleston
chairman of the latter.
Tho resolution was Introduced by
Councilman Terrell several weeks ago
and at his request was referred to a
committee where It may properly be
considered.
Under the railroad commission bill
passed at the last session of the gen
eral assembly, tho Commission Is given
Jurisdiction nnd power over all street
ear companies, telephone, and telegraph
companies, nnd gns nnd electric light
companies doing business* In .the state.
The resolution provides that council
shall ask the commission ,b> order the
following rates for AthfrjjF 1
Street enr fares, eight for a quarter.
Gas at 75 cents per thousand feet.
Instead t/f 11.10 with a 10 per cent re
duction for cash, as now.
Telephono rates to be made on an as
cending scale with a charge of $1.00
for each first thousand subscribers and
12 D2 cents for each succeeding thou
sand nnd with a maximum over which
the rate can not go. This would make
the present rsto of the Southern Bell
about $2.50.
It Is argued that If the committee
favors reductions In gas, atreet cat
fares, and telephones, the resolution
should be adopted as It stands, and
there should he no quibbling over the
exact terms, as the railroad commission
will make n thorough Investigation of
the technical details of rates, Incomes,
and profits.
“I Intend to see the resolution
through," states Councilman Terrell,
"and I am sure council will pass It,
nnd the railroad commission will grant
the request, backed up as It Is by the
support of the whole city."

_he charge was made that an ordl
nance by Alderman Key, regulating the
use of the bond money, was the cause
of the trouble.
Alderman Key had a special session
of council called, at which he turned
forth several volleys of his wrath on
the waterworks department for laying
tho blame on him. and he proposed to
demonstrate that there wa* no ne
cessity for the water being muddy. A
committee was appointed, with the al
derman ns chairman, 4nd this commit
tee ordered the pressure on the pumps
lnrreased, with the result that In less
thnn a week the water waa clear again.
Since that time the pressure on the
pumps ha* been above the guarantee,
and the water In the reservoir has
steadily risen until It Is now within
less than a foot ot Its maximum possi
ble depth. The general manager cited
from the records that he had notified
the water board of the Impending dan
ger and had Informed the board that It
could be averted by Increasing the
pressure on th* pump*.
As soon as the main Is completed t«
Caseys Hill the pressure will be
brought back from 125 to 110 pounds.
The distance of the .main from the
river to Caseys lllll Is 6.500 feet. The
water can run from Caseys Hill ti>
the reservoir by the force of gravita
tion, and so there Is no especial hnsto
about completing the main from the
hill to the reservoir, a distance of mpre
than 12,000 feat.

evening en route to his home In Athens,
Ga, after having completed a very

this week.
A number of land cases and damage
suits have been tried. Judge Brand,-at
the opening of court last Monday
morning, delivered one of hla ' usual
clear charges to ths grand Jury and
was the recipient of many congratula
tions. Among other things mentioned
In Judge Brand’s charge was the pro
hibition law recently enacted by the
Georgia legislature. This law waa
commended In the highest terms pos
sible by Judge Brand, who openly de
clared that a large number of the de
fendants who come before him for trial
on the criminal side of the docket were
tried for crime* committed while under
the Influence of liquor.
Judge Brand further declared that a
very large per cent of criminals were
either "plstol-toters," gamblers or
“blind tigers,” and he took occasion
to warn these three class** of defend
ants of his intention to punlah them
more severely In the future than he has

Produce Exchange members have tost
many millions of dollars since the be
ginning of the strike."
“Any claims by either company that
there is no delay In sending or re

declared Mr. Morey. "Both the West

giving miserable service and existing
conditions cost ths members of the
Produce Exchange many thousands of
dollars a day.
"Conditions are the same everywhere
and millions of dollars have been lost
since the beginning of the strike. The
companies are trying to make the pub
lic believe that conditions are normal,
but 1 ran state positively that this la
untrue. The small force Is Incapable of
handling the business and It now takee

Asa G. Candler, owner of the Candler
building and on* of the most public-
spirited of Atlanta's dtlsene, l» op
posed to locating the proposed new city
hall-court house on the site of the
present court house.
"It la too low,” 'says Mr. Candler,
"and putting the new building there
will hide It. Thla site Is lower than
any other section of the city. Let us
place the magnificent structure on a
hill where It may bo seen and appre-
ctated."
Alderman James L. Key states that
he will suggest the securing of th*
present government building for the
new city hafl at the meeting of council
when the matter Is taken up. The same
suggestion waa mads about a year ago,
but for some reason It was never
pushed.
The recommendations of th# commit
tee that the city build Jointly with the
county and that a bond election be
called for early next year will be acted
upon at the next meeting of council.
