Found 1912 Bids
Low and Reasonable.

Here is Mr.. Arkwright's statement
In March. 1912 the city of At
lanta advertised for bids for fur
nishing street lights. Pursuant to
this advertisement Georgia Railway
and Power Company submitted a
sealed bid April 8. 1912, at the fol-
lowing prices;
7 1-2 Ampere 480-watt arc lamps.
$50 per annum.
l00-watt Soc. p. Tungsten lamps,
$22 per annum.
White Way posts, containing five
fo0-watt SOC p. Tungsten lamps
each. at the rate of $50 per White
Way post per annum.
At the request of the city coun-
Gil. additional bids were made on
June 10 and June 10 for other forms
Of electric lights. The question of
prices for street lighting was thor
oughly Investigated by the city
council and its committee, and In
June the bids were considered bv
the committee on electric lights.
This committee asked for some
notifications In the interest of the
city, which were granted BY the
company, and the proposition OF
the company as modified on re-
quest Of the committee was unani-
mously accented by the committee.
After investigating the prices
charged in various other cities of
the United States, the city officials
and the members of the committee
generally conceded that the prices
offered by this company were rea-
sonable and low.
In the city of Macon there is a
cut throat rate war between two
companies. Each company is try
ing to run the other out of the
field or to force the stronger COM
pany to buy out the weaker one
AS is always the case in situations
Of this kind, the prices for electric
lights during the temporary period
Of the fight between the two COM
panies are made without regard to
cost.
The prices quoted for Macon are
less than the actual operating cost
Of furnishing service. These prices
are made for the avowed purpose
of running the other company out
Of business. it is exactly the same
practice as is ascribed to the
Standard Oil Company. For illus
tration. when an Independent COM
pany entered the field. the Stand
ard would cut their own prices so
low that the independent company
couldn't meet them until the indie
pendent company had been forced
into bankruptcy. then the price of
oil would go up not only to what il
was before, but sufficiently higher
to cover the expense OF the fight
So it is in Macon; the prices quot
ed are only temporary. and when
the fight is over they viii be high
err than they would have been IL
there had been no fight at all.

REINSTATED; MAYOR
is RAPED IN REPORT

COLUMBUS, OHIO. Sept. 10
Charles E. Garter was today reinstated
by the civil service commission as chief
of police. The commission ruled that
Mayor Karb had not proved his charges
against Carter and that the latter's
suspension was unwarranted.
The decision found that Carter had
used all diligence in attempting to sup
press gambling, but that he had re-
ceived little help from official sources,
morally and ethically bound TO aid him.
The commission also severely criticised
Mayor Karb and Solicitor Bolin for
their withdrawal in the prosecution Of
the case.

yer who has unearthed the fact that
Pike got a divorce from his first wife in
Texas several years ago.
