FRANCHISE FOR
CITY FARES IS
REJECTED
Power Company viii Not Give
Transportation for Street Con-
cession, Says Arkwright.

Contending that his corporation now
furnishes city employees with APP
proximately ISL 900 worth of free
transportation annually, and that last
year it paid the city s17S,109.17 in
taxes, President Preston S. Ark
wright, of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company has declined the
city's proposition to exchange the
Butler and Alabama street franchise
for free transportation for twenty en-
plOyees of the water department.
1t is announced that Council will
be asked to grant the company a
franchise 10 extend the College Park
suburban line into Alabama street as
far as Broad on condition the work
is done under the supervision of the
dtys construction department and
the company agrees to restore the
street.
To Park Opera Cars.
President Arkwright says the But
Ter street franchise If granted would
enable the company to park cars dur
ing the opera season and facilitate
transportation to every part of the
city He told Council the company
desires an indeterminate franchise on
Butler street because it is planned to
abandon the Walton street express
station and establish one somewhere
on Butler street The company is
planning TO erect an $4,000 brick
building
councilman Smith expressed him
self as favorng the Butler street
grant. but said he opposed making it
for life. He informed the railway Of
fcjals that he would support the
franchise on a 80 year basis, same as
the Gllmer street grant.
SO Years Held Too Short.
Franchises oVering only a period
of 80 years are undesirable" said
President Arkwright. Corporations

are investing In Atlanta figure on the
length of time it will take to get the
investment paid back. Some lines
that have operated twenty years have

teenth Regiment, which is due to
leave soon for patrol duty along the
Mexican border Colonel VanOrsdale
retired Thursday from active service,
under the age limit clause of the
army regulations
Major Martin, who has been in
charge at the local post for the past
few months, has received word that
Colonel Griffith probably will arrive
in Atlanta Saturday afternoon TO take
command of the regiment It is un-
derstuod that he will hold the com
mand permanently. or, at least as
long as the troops are on the border.
Owing to the inability Of the War
Department to get an army trans
port to Savannah IN time changes
have been made In the plans for
transferring the reg ment 20 Laredo,
Texas, where IL mas been ordered.
The plan OF going bv rail from At
lanta to Savannah and thence to Gal
weston by water has been abandoned.
and II is now proposed to make the
trip an all-rail journey.
Waiting for Cars.
It was stated at Fort Mcpherson
Saturday that, in all probability, the
troops VIII be moved from Atlanta in
three trains Of Pullman. tourist and
baggage cars, and from New Orleans
by rail to Laredo, provided the local
roads can furnish a sufficient mum
her Of cars
Friday night there were not more
than score Of cars in Atlanta avail
able for the troop train, and agents
Of the roads have sent out a hurry
call for rolling stock in anticipation
Of the movement Of the troops.
The orders received from the War
Department notifying the officers at
the fort Of the proposed movement OF
the Seventeenth were very indefinite.
Thy stated merely that the regiment
would be moved shortly, without Civ
ing the destination other than Laredo,
and without telling them the time of
departure.
Exact Date Not Set.
Captain Rankhead. adjutaut OF the
regiment. wired his father, njted
states Senator Rankhead, Of Ala
bama. inquiring the destination Of tho
Seventeenth. The Senator replied
that no plans have been formulated
that contemplate the movement of the
regiment further than TO the border
al Laredo and that the exact date q
the movement has not been set.
II is generally believed at the post
however. that the troops will be or
dered TO leave Atlanta Monday morn
ing. AS the necessity for more troops
at the border is growing every day.
Preparations for departure continued
Saturday. and the regiment is now
ready to leave at almost Il moment

LIGHT AND THE EYES.
Glaring or Dazzling Effects May Re-
suit In Permanent Injury.

Glaring or Dazzling Effects May Re-
suit In Permanent Injury.
In a paper read before the Interna-
tional Exposition of Safety and SANTA
ton in New York city G. H Stickney
called attention TO the fact that the
most common defect in lighting is ex-
cessive glare and absence OF diffusion.
Glare may emanate directly from the
light source or be reelected to the eye
by a glossy surface; it can also be
caused wherever excessive contrast of
intensity appears in adjacent fields OF
vision. The dazzling effect is unpleas
ant and interferes with seeing. Under
continued exposure eye strain and
even permanent injury to the eye may
result
An unshielded light hung over ma
chine is a common source Of eye ia
tigue. The glare may not be SO evil
dent on first glance, but when the
workman's eyes have been subjected
to such light for long time discom-
fort and inability to see result.
Glare from glazed paper, desk tops
or polished metal often induces eye
trouble, headache and other indisposi.
ton. though the sufferers may not be
aware of the cause. The remedy is to
change the relative positions so that
the reflected light is kept out of the
eyes as much as possible and to en-
large the dimensions OF the light source.
