Memoers of council resent remarks
about their body alleged to have been

requested by his hoard to appear before
council and explain certain action of
the body. He refused at first, and, in

must apologize or not speak out in

CHOOSE OFFICERS AT
ANNIVERSARY SUPPER
A luncheon for the members of the
Atlanta Real Estate Men’s association
will be given at Durand's. Peachtree
a nj Rdgewood, next Friday evening at
7 o'clock. It be the occasion of the
election of officers of the association
for the ensuing year. The association
was formed two years ago on that date,
and the election is held on the anni
versary.
The real estate men believe that the
association has accomplished much
good not only for the agents, but the
property owners as well. It has brought
about a spirit of fellowship among the
agent? and has improved the ethics of
the business.
The present officers are Ralph O.

At top, gigantic dam across the Ocmulgee river near Jack
son. which will generate electricity to light and furnish power for
eleven north Georgia towns, including Atlanta. This dam is of
concrete, 7’28 feet long and 108 feet high. Below, the four gen
erators, -which will send into Atlanta over a sixty-mile cable an
electric current of 1’2,000 horsepower.
Plant on Ocmulgee River to
Supply Eleven Towns With
Light and Power.
Four mammoth generators of elec
tricity. driven by the fail of water at
the Ocmulgee dam near Jackson, will
send into Atlanta 13,090 horsepower of
electric current for the Central Georgia
Transmission Company August 15 when
the 60-mile string of wires on huge
steel towers is completed.
The line to Atlanta comes byway
of Griffin and Hampton, and is com
pleted to within two miles of Atlanta.
The sub-station at Roseland. from
which this city will be supplied, nearly
is completed. Wires have been laid
and towers built.
The municipal plants at East Point
and College Park will be supplied with
current from the far-away power house
and in those towns it will turn a num
ber of factory wheels.
Few people realize the enormous size
of the plant in Butts cotffity which the
transmission company completed Janu
ary, 1911, at a cost of $2,500,000, and
which now supplies current for Macon,
Jackson, Forsyth, Griffin and Barnes-

$4,000,000 Total Cost.
When the construction work of the
transmission details are completed an
other milliot> dollars will have been
spent, making the total investment for
electrifying this part of the state nearly
$4,000,000. During the single year that
the company has been operating $1,000,-
000 worth of current has been sold and
a service furnished that has been prac
tically without an interruption.
To tell in figures of the power plant
on the Ocmulgee will give but poor
idea of the vastness of the operations
carried on. First of all, the dam. which
holds the flow of water until its force
can be turned into electrical energy, is
the largest of its kind ever built in this
section of the country.
Across a deep gorge through which
the river formerly flowed, the concrete
dam extends 1,750 feet from end to end;
from abutment to abutment its length
is 728 feet; for a distance of 420 feet
the waste water flotys over its op. Its
height is in exact figures 108 feet and
for fifteen miles up the river the water
is backed up. More than 4,000 acres of
land are covered by the checked water.
The enormous volume that rolls over
the 400-foot spillway and dashes in
sparkling foam 100 feet below on the
rocks is only the waste, the water that
is not needed in the plant. Through
wide gates constructed tn the dam the
flow of water that is actually turned
into electrical energy revolves four
twin horizontal turbine engines, gen
erating in each a force of 5,500 horse
power. These are built below and al
most under the dam itself. Their shafts
connect with four generators, each of
4,000 horsepower, making a total of 16,-
000 horsepower, the present capacity of
the plant. In the power house is room
for two more generators of like power.
These will be installed next February,
so that when running at its maximum
capacity the plant will send out 24.000
horsepower into its hundreds of lines
stretching through the country from
Monticello to Atlanta.
All of the machinery is of the latest

construction and type and warranted to
wear for years. Controlling this plant
and the stupendous force which it
forms are three men and a superin
tendent. There are nine men in all
besides the superintendent. They work
in shifts of three each. So that the
power which does the work for a terri
tory of more than 300,000 people is pro
duced at its Inception by tljree men.
One man operates the switchboard,
an intricate device, which shows how
the current is flowing and into what
lines and at what voltage. From this
switchboard the operator can read a
meter showing what current is flowing
into Atlanta, 60 miles away. He can
tell the frequency of the current, the
voltage, ohms, ammeters and watts —all
of the different phases into which the
flowing power is turned by electricians,
and each of which has a meaning to
the expert. The other two mem on duty
simply watch the engines and exercise
a genera! supervision over the plant.
The operator at the switchboard keeps
a daily chart, showing at every hour
just what his engines are doing and
keeping for possible inspection an ex
act description of whether or not the
plant is kept running at a satisfactory
rate.
The voltage of each generator is ■
,2,300 volts. In the power house trans- ’
formers, cooled by the water of the
dam, are operated, and this current is
"stepped up" to 66,000 volts for trans
mission over the wires.
Stretching far away through the open
country are lines that bear the power I
thus generated. One line leads west ’
to Monticello. Another leads to Gris- I
fin. from where the current is divided
and sent to Atlanta and Macon. Along
these lines it branches off to various
small towns and factories.
The wires which bear this current '
are constructed of aluminum and are I
strung on steel towers which rise 68 i
feet above the earth. Each tower sup- I
ports seven wires. The top one is a
"ground wire,” which is used to pro- |
tect the current-bearing wires from ■
the effect of electrical storms in the <
atmosphere. Through three of the oth- I
ers the current is borne. For in this
high tension, long transmission line,
three wires are used to carry the cur
rent instead of the usual two. The
other three wires are strung merely to
be used in case of breakage or inter
ruption to the twin-string.
Chart Shows Broken Wires,
Should the current-carrying wires be j
broken, or interrupted by lightning, the I

ARMY WORMS STALL
TRAIN FOR HOUR ON
RAILWAY IN GEORGIA
SAVANNAH. GA., July 6.—A pas
senger train on the Brinson railroad
was stalled for more than an hour by
an army of small worms crossing the
track from one field to another, when
the train ran into therrt. Their crushed
bodies greased the wheels and rails so
that the train was unable to advance
until the train crew with shovels had
cleared the right of way.
George M. Brinson, president of the
Brinson railroad, says that eight trains
on that road have been he’d up by the
army worms since they first made/heir
appearance in this section. It is stated
that the Central of Georgia has also
had trouble of the same kind.
BIG FIRE IN MARQUETTE. MICH.
MARQUETTE. MICH. July 6.—A
disastrous fire visited the business sec
tion of this city early today. After sev
eral hours hard work the flames were
subdued. It is estimated the loss will
reach $200,000.
and keeps up an uninterrupted service
to customers in far distant cities
To Atlanta the current will come via
Jackson. Griffin. Hampton and Rose
land station. East Point and College
Park also will receive their current over
the same line. A total of 12,000 horse
power will, be sent through this Uno
until the other two generators in the
power house are completed, when a to
tal of 16.000 horsepower may be sent
to carry on industrial work in this sec
tion.
What the construction of the enor
mous dam meant, only those who saw
it in the process of building can realize.
A few may learn from reviewing the
figures telling of its size. The lines
through the country take as much or
more*care and require the expenditure
of enormous sums of money.
At the main office of the Central
Georgia Transmission Co. in Macon ex
pert electrical and mechanical engin
eers figured' for six weeks before the
start of the line to Atlanta was made.
Records before them showed exactly
the geographical profile of the country
to be traversed. Other records told
them, the average temperature which
this line wouldXstrike. From these and
their knowledge of towers, wires and
a hundred other details, they figured
out to an inch the "sag" which must be
allowed the wires between each tower.
The amount of wind pressure against
the wires, the weight of ice to be held
up In winter and the effect of tempera,
ture on aluminum wire and steel tower
had to be taken into consideration.
