For I’ve got Buster’s clothes 1 Resolution Is Defeated Council, But Strong Argument Made. in By a vote ot 14 to 8, the resolution by Councilman Terrell, providing for the appointment of a committee to appear before the railroad eommlnlon to auk for lo*er etreet car faree. gae and tele phone rates, v> as lost at the meeting of the general council Wednceday after, noon. THoee voting for the resolution were: Alderman Key, Councilman Terrell and Councilman Longlno. Those voting against the resolution were: Aldermen McEachern, Peters and Curtis, and ICoundlmen Martin, Hud dleston, Choscwood, Mnngum, Pomeroy, Pearce, Glass, illyron, Taylor, Orant and Hancock. The joint committee to which the res olution waa referred reported adversely. Councilman Terrell offered a minority report.

In the city. None of the representatives of the different corporations was present at the meet ing. Terrell's Arguments. Councilman Terrell spoke In advocacy of his resolution. "I will not take up much of your time," explained the councilman, "but 1 just wish to ahow you what other cities are getting In the way of rales from the corporations and to ahow you we are not getting whnt we should. "It was recently decided thet gas should be sold In New York for 80 rents.

It Is proposed to build an entirely new gas plant ut Stat en Island, and It Is estimated then that It will cost 29 cents to furnish gat at the holder. “At Binghamton gas costs 85 cents. At Lon Angeles the rate Is 80 cents. And from Henry Clews’ guide that dur ing the war In New York by competing gas companies that gas waa furnished at 65 cents In 1899 and 1900, and the companlee then earned 6 1-2 and 6 per cent dividends. Once Cost 50 Cents. "In Atlanta here we once lmd 50-cent gas, and although the company went In the hande of a receiver. It was not be cause of the cheapness of gas, as every body knows, but because of an off-color mortgage deal. In Duluth the rate Is 76 centa. In Louisville It la 75 cents for heat and power and 81 for lighting pur poses. In Milwaukee the rate Is 80 cents. "The high rate for gas la not my only complaint. The railroad commission should require the meters to be sealed and kept In order and read properly.” Councilman Terrell took up the tele phone rates and telephone service, charging that the rates were too high and the service was nothing short of miserable. He then took a shot ut the street car company. "Why, In Detroit recently," he said, "the company proposed to furnish lu tickets for 25 cents during work hours nnd 6 for 35 rents during other hours, nnd to give the city 2 per cent of the grots receipts, and the people turned It down. They did not think this was enough. “In’ Cleveland the company Is fur- nshlng 7 tickets for a quarter and ts making money. In Baltimore the city gets 9 per cent of the gross receipts, which amounted to 83J7.000 last year. Street Car Service. "In Atlanta we don't get seats, we don't get good service, and we hang on by our eyebrows. I have said the company could afford to give cheaper service. I have shown that the com pany declared a 25 per cent stock dlv Idond this year, which waa nothing In the world but wind. "I charged repeatedly at the commit tee meetings that this stock was noth ing but wind, and It was never dis puted. Nothing was paid In on the stock and so thero was no basis for a declaration of a dividend. "The consumer In Atlanta has ab solutely no voice as to the kind of qual ity of service that Is furnished him by these corporations, nnd as far as gas nnd telephones go. he has nothing to say the price. I say, let this matter go to the rail road commission, because It has the power to go fully Into the matter, to make the Investigation, to employ ex perts. to examine the books, nnd It la the only body In the world that does have the power and the full authority. "IVe represent the city of Atlanta, and the city of Atlanta la a euatomer of these corporations. The people are complaining and they are turning to ua. No Individual can afford the time, the trouble and the expense that would bo necessary to make the tight. Let the city, with Its paid experts, do the work. 1 am making this light for I believe what I say Is true, and what 1 ask Is right nnd Just, and If It were not so I would have abandoned It long ago." Good In Resolution. Councilman Longlno stated that he believed some good would come out of the resoluton tf adopted. Alder- man Key epoke In favor of council and the railroad commission both tak ing up the matter of cheaper rates and better service from these corporations. Councilman Marlin did not believe In going to the rallroRd commission with this matter, but did believe that the service of the street car company should be Improved. Councilman Hud dleston explained ,the reasons of the joint committee In adverslng the reso- :lon by Councilman Terrell. 'Mr. Gentry'." explained Councilman Huddleston, "made a splendid showing before the committee. It was evident from whnt he said that the Bell Com pany Is doing about everything possi ble to Improve the service. "The street car company has alwaya shown a dlspif Itlon to deal fairly with the city. President Arkwright Is . al waya Just and considerate and the service Is being Improved right along. He has himself taken the matteg of the regulation of his companies to the commission." PASSESJOUNClL J. H. Goldsmith Is Re-elect ed City Comp troller. Edmund L. Patton, Washington.
