MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
LEAGUE BEING FORMED
Continued from Paqo Ono.
given the matter of a league any
thought, but I will Join It.”
Attorney G. C. Rogers said: "Mu
nicipal ownership Is a good thing and
Atlanta should have It. 1 am heartily
in favor of a league being formed."
W. R. Shropshire said; ”1 am strang
le In favor of municipal ownership of
public utilities. A municipal ownership
league will be an excellent thing.”
“By All Means,” 8ays Kelley,
C, H. Kelley, of Kelley Brothers, said:
■'By all means Atlanta should own her
public utilities. I am In favor of the
league and it will give me pleasure to
J Mayor-sleet W. R. Joyners "At this
time I do not care to talk on the sub
ject, other than to say the entire coun
try Is moving toward municipal own-
ershlp.”
Jerome Jonot, prominent In organ*
1 /oil labor In Atlanta, said: “No argu-
montH can Htand In the way of muni-
Hjwil ownership of gaa and electric
lighting plant*. I am for these heart
and soul. . . .
These expressions picked up from
representative men In a number of dif
ferent businesses and professions well
express the sentiment of the public at
large.
“We should have municipal owner
ship. It Is a good thing, but where is
the money to come from? How are we
to get It?” In many Instances those
who desire municipal ownership are
asking the questions. The Municipal
Ownership League Is being formed for
the purpose of solving the problem.
Watch th# Committee Meeting.
Monday at 3 o’clock the special com
mittee of seven councllmen will hold
session In the city hall to form a re
port on ways and means of obtaining
control of public utilities In Atlanta.
The committee Is formed of Aider-
man James L. Key, chairman; Aider-
men J. N. McEachem, F. A. Qullllan,
Councllmen W. H. Terrell. E. E. Pom
eroy, W. D. Ellis, Jr., and W. A. Han
cock.
Not all of the committeemen are In
favor of municipal ownership, but It Is
believed that the voice of the people
whom the councllmen represent will
have a big part to play In their work.
The league Is not. however, relying
on the decision of this committee, but
after Its formation will appoint offic
ers and go to work In dead earnest
along practical lines.
It Is being formed now. The practl
cal work will commence before many
days.
