CITV PLANS FIGHT
FOR BETTER GAS
Quality Low. But Company Op
erates Under State Charter,
Independent of Council.
Finding the quality of gas furnished
by the Atlanta Gas Light Company
low, the city smoke and gas commis
sion is today planning a fight for a
higher standard of gas.'
The board has a report from Inspecr
tor McMichael of a test made gif the
gas Saturday afternoon. At that hour,
When the maximum amount of gas was
being used, the test showed the candle
power to be only 13 1-2. The company
claims its standard to be 18-candle
power. '
Caairnian Harwell, of the commis
sion. declared today that whatever the
quality of gas, the city had no author
ity to regulate it. He said that the
gas company does business under a
charter from the legislature, which is
equal in authority tS»the city charter.
Company Fixes Own Standard.
The railroad commission has the
power to regulate the quality of the
gas. but so fa-r the commission has al
lowed the company to fix its own
standard, explained Mr. Harwell.
Inspector McMichael said that he had
made other tests and that the last
time was the only time he found the
quality to be inferior. He explained
that an inferior quality simply meant
that the consumer would have to use a
greater quantity to get the desired re
sults.
He said that 18 candlepower was a
little above the average standard of
quality for cities of Atlanta's size, but
that in larger cities, where the stand
ard was determined by the legislature
or railroad commission, 22 candlepower
was about the average standard.
Can Only Ask Relief,
Chairman Harwell said the only thing
the gas commission could do was to
collect data and then recommend to the
council that the railroad commission
be petitioned to fix a standard of effi
ciency.
Commissioner McMichael said lie
thought the railroads would be ready
to comply with the smoke ordinance
by October 15, the time limit allowed.
He said that the Nashville, Chatta
nooga and St. Louis railroad had em
ployed a smoke inspector to regulate
the engines running into the Union
station and that the Terminal station
already had a smoke inspector.
