NATURAL GAS FOR MILLEDGE-
VILLE
MillrdferOk is included on the line
..f th.- Southern Natural Ga* Com-
p«ry. That is now brine laid from the
fields in Lousiana to Georeia. Mil-
ledgeville will be the end of the line
and will be of the few towns in the
st:.t - that will enjoy the use of this
ere at fuel.
Natural Ga* for commercial pur-
l-'ses was first used in this country in J
the early part of the last century.
Since then the use has become more'
extensive and now ha* more than
ti.i'ee million service Connections.

During this period we have fre
quently expressed our ideas through
these -olumns along the line of City
Management We have given these
idea* birth after careful study and
unbia.ed reasoning. Wo have not
been impassioned in our appeai nor
have we entered into the discussion
with any personal or revengeful no
tions. We have taken into considers
tion every phase of
mert .and we have reached the
elusion that for any city to opr'ate
und< r a sound basis they must get
a manager to manage, the plan of a
City Manager in a nut shell.
The idea was first originated in
Staunton. Virginia, in 1!*08 and since
that time, in little more than twenty
years, more than four hundred cit:es
have adopted it. Staunton’s govern

this plan, much to their entire satis

benefit.
If w» bring *»ur illustration near

movement in Friffin, Georgia. Four
hundred thousand dollars were ncces-
mry to put over this movement The
city had over two hundred thousand
in the Treasury and a bond issue
for only half the needed amount
was necessary. This was because they
had a city manager, according to the
editor of the Griffin paper
Griffin adopted this plan they were
thousands of dollars in debt. Does
it appear that Griffin is experiment

The great volume increase of business has made this second reduction possible,
just as we promised. Wc are glad the public confidence has been so that we
could bring the price down again. We are making this reduction to all custom
ers—which is to their advantage in as much as it means a great saving to them.
Give us your business and we give you every advantage in price and service.
Our gasoline is one of the well known brands—we postively do not sell an out
