SUIT HALTS WORK
ON TOWER LINES
Hill and Milton Streets Resi
dents. Fearing Voltage. Stop
Power Company's Move.
Fearing the heavy electrical voltage
they say will he tarried overhead in
Hill and Milton streets by tower lines
being erected by the Central Georgia
Transmission Company, residents of
South Atlanta hnv flletl an Injunction
suit in superior court to test the power
company’s permit, alleged to have been
granted by City Electrician Turner
without the sanction of the board of
electrical control.
Judge Ellis today granted a tempo
rary order restraining the Central com
pany from further construction work
until the facts were aired in court.
Residents of Hill and Milton streets
filing suit were .1. H. Galhouse. A. H
Cash. A. c Aderhold, E C. Brand. Au
gustus Moore R H Clarke and Mrs.
J. J. Kuhn.
It wa.s J. H Galhouse who recently
fired his pistol m the air to scare off
negro workmen erecting the tower lines.
Work on the lines in Hill and Milton
streets has been in progress night and
day.
Say Property Is Damaged.
The petitioners assert that 6°-foot
steel towers sunk in concrete piers are
being erected on th. sidewalks In Hill
street, directly in front of their houses.
Because of this, they maintain, their
property is being damaged. The street.
It Is alleged, is being made unsafe to
pedestrians because of the heavy volt
age that is to be carried by the over
head wires.
It is alleged the route granted the
Central company was through Lake
wood Heights, but residents of tiiat
section, led by S. B. Turman, of the
county commission, blocked this pro
cedure, and a permit was granted by
City Electrician Turner, without sanc
tion by the board of electieal control,
for a route through Hill street.
Members of the board of Control to
day denied that they had granted a
permit for a change of route or sanc
tioned the enormous overhead voltage.
City Electrician Turner is out of the
city, but it was admitted at his office
this morning that the chief engineer
of the Central company held his permit
authorizing the change of route and
sanctioning the heavy voltage.
