ing candle power for candle power
and within a few more years there
will he few homes in towns, cities and
rural communities without this mod
em method of lighting.
The Georgia Power Company was
orrlr- v) 'Saturday by the State Pub-
to revise, its
residmtia] rate- on electricity so as
to apply a uniform schedule to all

that in Atlanta proper.
James A. Perry said
visions would mean a saving
r of approximately $500.-
000 annually, divided about equally
between users of gas and electricity.
