WEDNESDAY, JULY 31. 1912 WANTS ELECTRIC BO ABO ABOLISHED Turner, Condemned by City Officials, Says He Had Right to Give Towers Permit. City Electrician R. C. Turner, in a written communication to council to day, urged that the board of electrical control be abolished, declaring it to be "merely an ancient and honorable body which seldom meats and acts only for the purpose of condemning the present city electrician, who is elected by the people and has the interest of the peo ple at heart." , Turner said two of the members of the board, R. M. Clayton, chief of con struction, and W. B. Cummings, fire chief, were ministerial officers like him self, and that they had no right to crit icise the actions and policies of his of fice. He said that Chief Cummings was “sore on him” because he (Turner) had insisted that the Star Electric Com pany be given a full opportunity to bid on the city's new fire alarm system, instead of giving the contract for $50,- 000 to the Gamewell company without any delay. He said that his action would save the City $20,000. Sent Protest to Board. Turner first submitted his communi cation to the board of electrical con trol at a special meeting today, called as the result of the meeting yesterday when the board revoked a permit is sued to the Central Georgia Transmis sion Company by Mr Turner to erect a 66,000-volt electric power line on Hill street and Milton avenue. Members of the board declared that he had Is sued the permit absolutely without au thority. Among the assertion* made in his statement are the following: That he continually grants such permits with out having them questioned: that the privilege of erecting such high powe r lines has been granted to the Georgia Railway and Power Company and that the Georgia Railway and Power Com pany has built some such high tension lines without any permit. Sanders McDaniel, representing the transmission company, urged the board to reconsider its action of yesterday and give his company authority to con tinue the construction of its line. The board postponed action to give the company an opportunity to adjust the matter with the protesting property owners.

BIRDS NOW SINGING RAGTIME. SCIENTIST SAYS IN A LECTURE CHICAGO, July 31.—Henry Oldys, formerly of the United States biologi cal survey, in a lecture in the Uni versity nf Chicago which Is causing comment today, said that birds are pos sessed of an esthetic sense similar to that of the human being. "Birds dance in the air, do ’High land flings’ and the more sedate evolu- with the most perfect rhythm.” said Oldys. "They sing a ‘bird rag time’ and at other times snatches of song which greatly resemble our grand opera. There is a blackbird that, has a song almost parallel to a Wagnerian opera: the robin is best in so-called popular songs, while the wood thrush sings a song of four distinct verses." The speaker closed with the state ment that birds sometimes copy from man. and that man could learn a great deal by copying from the bird.
