After my fight for reduced ele«- trie light and power rates for the people of Atlanta the organization of electrical contractors gave me a banquet at the M. & M. Club and presented me with a watch. There is a similar organization to this in every city in the country and on the inside of my watch is an inscription. 'For R. C. Turner, from his fellow- craftsmen.’ “Campaign (Contributions ” "These charges are all bosh. It* may think he is proving something when he brings out facts that every body knows, that there were cam paign contributions made to me." Attorney Aldine Chambers smiled .significantly Friday when asked as to the details of his charges. He said it was not within * his province to take any action toward the impeach- inent of Turner, but that the facts »he would produce certainly would be sufficient grounds for Council to im peach the City Electrician. He said there was an organization of electrical contractors in Atlanta known as the EJektron Company, that his client, the Cotton States Electric Company, had formerly been a mem ber of this organization but had with drawn for business reasons.

After reviewing the controversy between Turner and the Cotton States Electric Company . that has been reviewed before the Hoard o?

When a few minutes later he made a reference to the wiring of the Ho tel Winecoff by a company without a license Turner rejoined "Stick to your case.” I will,”- answered Chambers. "Mv case is showing you up.” "Then well show up something, too,” remarked Carl Hutcheron, who had appeared as Turner’s attorney. “Well tell something about the as phalt trust.” “I- I won’t say what 1 started to suy." replied Chambers Specific Accusations. The wording of the graft charges relating to the association of electri cal contractors is: “We charge that said Turner ac cepted gifts from such an a«|sociatlon or its members. “We charge that Turner appointed four members of the Board of Elec trical Examiners for contractors who were in this association. • We further charge that .said Tur ner is under financial obligation to this association or its members. •We do not mean to reflect upon this association or its members. “We also charge that he has used his official position to compel loans to him.” The Joint meeting of the officials hearing the charges dfeided to post pone further consideration of them until Monday in order tHat Turner may have an opportunity to reply to them. Message From Memphis. There was then considerable argu ment over whether the Cotton States Electric Company should be allowed to continue work in the meantime. Turner produced a telegram from the city electrician of Memphis, the former home of Jack Peters, mana ger of the Cotton States Electric Company, stating that it was hard to make Peters comply with the law.
