A. penny. chairman of the board of pub y. corks, makes a public apology, he v.-h not be permitted to speak before the Rome city council at Its meeting Monday night. Memoers of council resent remarks about their body alleged to have been made, by Mr. Denny at a meeting of hi? board last night. Mr. Denny was requested by his hoard to appear before council and explain certain action of the body. He refused at first, and, in r f ’sing, is quoted as saying he did not wa nt to appear before "a set of long eared animals.” It is for this that he must apologize or not speak out in meeting, say council members. Ritter feelimr exists between council anG the board or public works, because each body has adopted resolutions ask ing the legislature to abolish the other The end of the municipal feud is not in sight.

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- IHE ATLANT A GEORGIAN AND NEWS.

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.

Why do they alt say, "As good as Sauer’s?” SAUER'S PURE FLAVOR ING EXTRACTS have received thir teen highest American and European award* 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 chart at any substation, or at the plant, | will tell of it instantly, and with the I simple turn of a switch, the operator I places the current on the substitute line Ir •* Add to Your Coal Supply Now before the cold spell comes on.

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.
