SUIT HALTS ■
ON TOW LINES
Hill and Milton Streets Resi
dents, Fearing Voltage, Stop
Power Company’s Move.
Fearing the heavy o’ectrical voltage
they say will be carried overhead in
Hill and Milton streets by tower lines
being erected by the Central Georgia
Transmission Company, residents of
South Atlanta have filed 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 wore aired In court.
Residents of Hill and Milton streets
filing suit were J. H. Galhouse, A. H.
Cash. A. C. Adeihold, E. C. Brand, Au
gustus Moore R. H. Clarke and Mrs.
J. J. Kuhn.
It was J, H. Galhouse who recently
fired his pistol in 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 60-foot
steel towers sunk in concrete piers are
being erected on the sidewalks in Hill
street, directly in front of th'lr houses.
Because of this, they maintain, their
property is being damaged. The street,
it is alleged, is being made unsafe to
pedestrians because of Hie heavy volt
age that is to be carried by the over
head wires.
It Is alh ■ 1 the route granted the
Centra! <nmisuij was through Hake
wood Heights. bit residents of that
section, led by S. B. Turman, of the.
county commission, blocked this pro
cedure. and a r r nit was granted by
City Electrician Turner, without sanc
tion by the board of eleetical control,
for a route through Hill street.
Members of the board of control to
day denied that they bad 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.

reasonably hope to be healthy or beau

doing housework all day, and crawling
into bed dead tired at night. You must
get out into the open air and sunlight.
If you do this every day and keep your
stomach and bowels in good order by
taking Chamberlain’s Tablets when
needed, you should become both healthy
and beautiful. For sale by all dealers.
