City Kit-. t« i. i.iii R <’ Turner, who
pot n lot of attention last winter b\ his
attacks on ’the Georgia Railway am!
Elect! it Company. today vas eontlemn
?d by the city board of electrival con
trol for granting a franchise, without
authority. to the Centra! Georgia
Transmission Company, the onl> com
petitor of the Georgia Railway ami
Electric Company, to build a high power
line on Hill street and Milton avenue,
and the board revoked the electrician's
permit.
Complaints of property owners di
rected the attention of the board to
the situation. The Central Georgia
Transmission Company had a force
working day and night on the street,
erecting a 66.000 volt lire. J. H. Gal
house. a resident of Hill street, dis
charged his pistol twice last Thursday
night to frighten away the workmen
whan the) disluib his sleep, H< was
fin'-H by the recorder, but immediate
ly there was a general protest from the
citizens against the building of the line
aluug their street Mr. Turner himself
said rhe hjgh voltage wire would be
dangerous .
It was found the only authority
to build the line on these streets was
obtained from the city electrician, who
consulted only the engineer of the
Southeastern Underwriters Association.
Such an authority is equal to a fran
chise. and rests onlv with the council
The board immediately revoked the
permit of the company. The company
must get tile right to prove.al with the
work by taking up the matter with the
board.
An injunction suit, has been filed to
stop the work, but this was discon
tinued when the court wa< informed of
the action of the city board.
City Electrician Turner declared the
board was trying to put all the trouble
it could on him. The city had granted
the company the right to build such a
line op Lakewood avenue. Mr. Tur
ner said he transferred the permit to
other streets because he thought it was
a bettor route.
He said any line carrying more than
11.000 volts was dangerous and that
some of tile lines of the Georgia Rail
way and Power Company, the company
that absorbed the Georgia Railway
and Electric Company. should be con
demned.
The board. John E McClelland. W.
R Cummings fire chief, and It. M.
Clayton, chief of construction, decided
not to go into this matter at this time.

' BOARD APPOINTMENTS
Complying with the request of Governor
Brown, the senate* today returned to him
his nominations to Hie state board of ed
ucation. No action was taken on the
lUike Smith appointments.
Hy recalling his appointment*. Gov
ernor Brown prevented them from being

ate is m»w left with the Smith appoint
tio n’s to be approved or rejected. Those

The legal point raised in the senate
that the Smith nominations were made
to till real vacancies and were not ad
interim appointments, ami the apparent
strength on this view with members of
the upper house, was largely responsible
for the governor's action in withdrawing
his nominations. lie declined today to
dis<uss his future action in the matter
Tin name of Waiter Steed, appointed
b\ Brown to succeed the late
Judge Lawson, was withdrawn so that
the senate will have but three names to

cies cm the board. The Brown appoint
ments wen : G. H Glenn. T. J. Wooster,

SLEUTHING WITH AID
OF DICTOGRAPH NOT
FAVORED BY POLICE
Chief of Police .Bepvers is not much
in favor of the dictograph as a gatherer
of evidence. Ht> said so today.
"The trouble with such evidence," as
serted the chief, “is .that it is usually
not admissible. Telephone conversa
tions are not admitted unless identifi
cation of the parties talking is abso
lute, and so with the dictograph. Or
dinarily the, stenographer recording dic
tograph notes can not identify the per
sons or voices sufficiently to make the
evidence worth anything.”
A dictograph agent called on Chief
Beavers recently in an effort to place
one of the instruments with the local
department, but the chief had substan
tially tlie above objections and accord
ingly refused to buy.
