Although the railroad commission has for one of its main objects the prompting of competition, a singular petition has been received by that body asking the assistance of the commission in cutting out destructive competition between two electric light companies of Savannah. From the complaint of J. C. Tyson, presl dent of the Savannah Electric Repair company, it appears that so keen is competition between the two electric lighting companies in that city that each company is wiring houses and stores free of .charge in order to get lighting contracts, and that as a re gult the men who make a living wir ing for electric lighting are in a bad fix. The commission has answered Mr. Tyson, pointing out that the busine. of the commission is to encourage competition, but he says that unless instances of discriminaticn between custemers of the light'ng companies were shown the commission could ‘not’ act, ik LN ~ Chairman' 8.
