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.
