MANN INSURANCE
BILL FIGHT LOST
General Judiciary Committee
Disapproves Measures Op
posed by Foreign Firms.
Despite the strenuous efforts made b>
state insurance companies to secure its
approval, the Mann bill requiring all
insurance companies to invest 75 per
tent, of their reserve in Georgia se
curities has been rejected by the gen
eral judiciary committee of the state
senate.
Although Senatoi Mann told the
members of the committee today that
he would carry his fight for the meas
ure to the floor of the senate, the bill
will go to the nppei nouse heavily han
dicapped
Local representatives of foreign life
insurance companies opposed the hili
strenuously, and the hearings before the
judiciary committee were conducted
with vigor. The foreign companies
maintained that the passage of the
measure would drive a score of the
best Insurance companies out of the
Georgia field and that the bill was de
signed by Georgia companies to kill
competition. The local companies
through Senator Mann, pointed to the
success of a similar law in Texas'.
Mosquito Damage Bill Approved.
Designed to benefit residents of New
ton county, disturbed by mosrfjitoes
bred in a back water swamp ffdm the
dam of the Central Georgia Power
Compant. on the Oerryjlgee river'. Sena
tor Felker's bill to establish the venue
of damage suits against the power com
panies will go to the upper house with
the ttpptoy.il of the judiciary com
mittee.
Under the present venue laws, the
outraged citizens of Newton county are
forced to carry their damage suits to
Macon, the official residence of the pow -
Ar'coinpan.y. Because they have been
Unsuccessful before Macon juries, they
want a change. The Felker bill puts
power companies in the same class with
railroads in allow ing,suits to originate
where the damage occurs.

Memphis Commissioners Pass
Ordinance for Big Reduction
in Rates Over Protest.
MEMPHIS, TENN., July 31.—1 n /pile
of appeals from the highest officials in
tile ('umberland Telephone and Tele
graph Company of the Bell System, the
city commission has passed an ordi
nance which, if enforced, will reduce
the present telephone rates nearly 50
pet cent. The ordinance also requires
improved sei vice.
Prominent Atlanta officials’ were
present in the council chamber when
Mayor E. H. t'rfimp and the commis
sioners listened to the third leading of
what is termed here as the "anti-tele
phone #nonopoly” law.
Colonel W. T. Gentry, president of the
Cumberland company and tbe Southern
Bell Telegraph and Telegraph Compa
ny, who hurried to Memphis from Eu
rope stopping only long enough in At
lanta to get Vice President J. M. B.
Hoxey and to summon Leland Hume,
genera! manager, from Nashville, was
on hand with learned counsel, but the
mayor and commissioners informed the
telephone people that the Memphis pub
lic had long since tired of "promises."
The action for lower rates and im
proved service has followed the United
States supreme, court ruling in favor of
the city of Louisville, the court holding
that the city had a right to ordain the
rates
"The fight has lust begun," said
President Gentry "We will carry the
issue to the highest courts. We had
just as well quit business as to allow
every municipality to dictate as to the
rates and manner of conducting our
business."
