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.
