Atlanta wax a heavy loaer bjr the vis
It of Jack Frost. All the damage will
probably never be known, but the Jieav
lest losers have figured In dollars what
the storm cost them.
Among these art the Georgia Rail
way and Electric Company and the
Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph
Company. It cost the former $26,000,
while the Southern Bell, ovei' Its en
tire system, felt It to the extent
$125,000. In Atlanta alone the Southern
Bell officials have figured that the loss
is between $10,000 and $12,000. The
Atlanta Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany lost about $4,000. The tplfgraph
companies lost perhaps $85,000
Soutfiem territory.
The loss to the Georgia Hallway and
Electric Company Includes the damage
to the wires, the cost of the extra line
men who were rushed on the Job, the
loss of revenue from street car fares
and from light and power.
While the storm continued and until
the current was turned on. It was r
case of all going out and nothing com
Ing In with the trolley company. Al
though no cars were running and cus
tomers outside the Are limits were not
being supplied with light and power,
200 or more conductors and motormen
were drawing their pay and 200 extra
linemen were on the payroll.
The Southern Bell lost heavily on Its
toll lines to other cities, the following
being affected: Atlanta to Gainesville
and Charlotte; Atlanta to Athens and
Klberton; Atlanta to Madison and Au
gusta: Atlanta to Griffin and Macon;
Atlanta to Newnan, • West Point and
Montgomery, and Atlanta to Rome and
Chattanooga.
With the long distance lines out of
commission the company lost $1,000 a
day. The worst damage was done to
the long distance line to Augusta along
which poles and wires were down In
many places.
All the street cars are running Wed
nesday with the exception of the line
to Angier-ave. and the Boulevard,
which runs part of the distance thru
Auburn-ave. It was along *h!s street
that the worst damage was done and
workmen are now engaged In repairing
it. The persons who generally use
these cars have other lines adjacent
which serve them now. In the other
direction this line Is running to West-
view, the cars starting from the cen
ter of the city. The loss to the Atlanta
Telephone and Telegraph Company Is
estimated by President C. J. Simmons
at between $3,000 and $4,000. The
storm put 400 of the company’s phones
out of commission, but these are rapid
ly being placed In serviceable condl
tlon.
General Superintendent G. E. Paine,
of the Postal Telegraph Company, Is
unable at present to give any accurate
estimate of the damage done by the
»torm In hls territory, but he roughly
estimates It between $5,000 and $10,000.
The Western Union was another
heavy loaer because of the storm. Ac
curate figures are not yet obtainable,
'•ut General Superintendent J. Levin,
" hose territory covers the entire South,
thinks $75,000 a conservative estimate
"f hls company’s loss. The loss Is so
Kreat that Mr. Levin has 400 linemen
«it work repairing the damage.

Rome Man Says Prohibition

'Are you a candidate for the United

“I have nothing to say."
"Do you expect to enter the race?
The time Is short now until the pri

"When will you make a definite

“In a short time, I think. I am here

Seaborn Wright, or Rome, was at
the capitol Wednesday morning, and
the foregoing constitutes all he would
say relative to queries concerning hls
probable candidacy for the United
States senate.
61 r. Wright Is overwhelmed with In-
vltatlons from every section of the
country to apeak In behalf of prohl
billon movements, and he has accepted
many of these for the summer months.
"This prohibition movement Is bo

Believes Resolution Looking
to Bond Issue Will Be
$ c, Adopted.
A resolution looking to tile holding of
a million dollar bond election will be
Introduced In council by Councilman
Longino next Monday afternoon.
Councilman Longino stated to The
Georgian Wednesday afternoon that ha
had decided positively to offer the reso
lution Monday.
"After talking to several members
of council, two or three of whom came
to me voluntarily and offered their sup.
port," stated Councilman Longino. "I
am satisfied council will adopt the res.
olutlon.
“The resolution qrlll provide that
council request the legislature to give
the city permission to hold such an
election. If council adopts the resolu
tion,. the legislature, of course, will
comply with the request.
"The million dollars of bond money
will be spent for building a $200,009
hospital, the erection of a $360,000 or
$300,000 city hall, the making of ex-
tensive street Improvements, the build.
Ing of several new schools, ant) for
other purposes.
“It Is my Idea to have every Impor
tant street In the city well paved, and
I think the major portion of the money
should be spent for thlB purpose. The
other Improvement* contemplated In
the resolution nre urgent nnd necessa
ry and speak for IheinselveB.
"When the legislature has given ux
permission to hold tho bond election,
we can then decide Just how much
should be spent for each Improvement,
and what Improvements should be
mode. If It Is found not necessary to
Issue $1,000,000 of bonds, we need not
Issue that amount. We had permis
sion to Issue $500,000 of water bonds
and laaued only $860,000.
"By building these school houses and
making the atreet Improvements, we
need not for several years appropriate
any money for those purposes, and the
amount saved could go for other pur
poses and for paying Intereat on the
bonds.
I am satisfied the resolution will be
adopted.”
