It is 100 feet high and 1,750 fe< long. The wall of water which flows over the dam is 400 feet w’ide, or one-fourth of the entire width of the dam. Several Atlanta reporters went down on the Ocmulgee river, near Jack son, the other day,’and looked over our plant. They saw everything there • was to see and they frankly admitted they were surprised. They had heard, in away, that somebody had built a dam across the Ocmulgee, but they didn’t know how big the dam really is nor what it is doing. - . That’s all because there hasn’t been much said about what we are doing. We worked quietly for two years building the immense dam, which backs up the waters of the Ocmulgee into a vast lake, and harnesses tsrie river which for generations has been running to waste. For quite a time we have been supplying the electricity which runs the trolley cars and turns wheels of manufacturing plants in Macon. We are bringing this power to Atlanta just as rapidly as workmen can build the big transmission towers which carry the cables. Our company is here to stay. We have a RExAL plant, producing REAL power which we are selling for REAL money. And the rates for this power in Atlanta are VERY reasonable. Our excellent equipment and thorough organization make these rates possible. The Central Georgia Transmission Company has no stock to sell. We are selling POWER, not stock. And we are going to use the vast power which the Ocmulgee river is miking for us in turning the wheels of xAtlanta. The big towers which are to carry the transmission lines from Griffin to xAtlanta are built and on these towers will be transmission lines of alumi num. Snow and ice will not stick to aluminum and demoralize the service. That’s why we decided on aluminum. Our service must be the best. For several months, we have been preparing for our entrance into Atlanta. We have contracted to sell a large part of the power we are bringing here and we shall keep on until all the power at our disposal is sold. The Central Georgia Transmission Company is distinct, separate and has no connection whatever with any other company of this kind operating in Atlanta. W’e shall have interesting stories to tell the people of Atlanta from time to time and we shall tell these stories in the newspapers. We are also talking to consumers of electricity every day. And we would like to talk to more. In fact, we would like to talk to you. AND PLEASE REMEMBER, WE ARE HERE TO STAY The Central Georgia Transmission Co. 601 Third National Bank Building, Atlanta
