Atlanta newspapermen, piloted by Milt Saul, publicity director of the Georgia Railway and Power Company, left for Tallulah Falls today to go over the gieat work now under way which will develop the water power of the Tallulah river and convert it into electrical energy for turning wheels in Atlanta. The party left early this morning and will spend the whole day at the plant. The Georgia Railway and Power I Company, the great merger into which i the Georgia Railway and Electric Com- I pany and a dozen smaller concerns were amalgamated some time ago, and which is capitalized at $57,000,000, is developing 90.000 horsepower at its Tallulah plant, which will be only one of several w'ater power units now un der construction, or planned for the future. It is believed that in a few' years Atlanta will be offered electric power so cheaply that the use of steam coal will be to a large extent abandoned and that the use of the electric cur rent will go a long way to solve the smoke nuisance problem which has giv en the city so much trouble. One Dam Over Half Done. Two great dams, a tunnel and a power house are the chief feature of the work at Tallulah. The lower dam is about two-thirds finished. It is be ing built by the Hardaway Construc tion Company, and all the rock used comes from a quarry just below the dam. The tunnel, which carries the water, is to be about 6.660 feet long. 12 feet wide at its widest point and 14 feel high at the top of the arch. It will be lined with 12 inches of concrete. The tunnel is now about half finished. The development of Tallulah Falls will cost the company about $11,000,000, and the work will be finished in about a year. It is expected to furnish elec tric current to Atlanta. Cartersville, Rome. Gainesville. LaGrange and other Georgia cities'. It will be the largest hvdro-electric power unit south of Ni agara Falls, and the greatest plant in the Southern field now being developed by' the Georgia Railway and Power Company. Reduced Rates Promised. A' sharp reduction in electric rates, as soon w? the power from Tallulah reaches Atlanta, has already been promised by the company, and is ex pected that in a year or two after the plant is completed Atlanta will be truly an "electric city" with motors taking '■ the place of private steam plants and ■ the use of soft coal almost entirely abandoned.
