Gold lime Gas CHARGES.

The price of gas in the early part
of the last century is shown by q
schedule of charges issued by the
Liverpool Gaslight company in the year
1917. Instead of so much per cubic
foot being levied. each individual
burner was charged for, and the price
varied according to the hour at which
the light was TO be extinguished Thus
for using one No. 1 Argand burner ur
till p. m. G. per annum had to be
paid. For the right to keep it alight
until 8 s3 1Ss. was the figure, while
those roistering blades who sat up tilt

10 or IL burners are faring away until
the small hours if such q method of:

Dr.. Mawson Reports
Ore and Coal Abound
In Antarctic Region

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA, Feb %.
Discoveries of immense commercial
value were made in the Antarctic by
DIR. Douglas Mawson, the explorer,
who has just returned from the south.
DR.. Mawson, who is still suffering
from the severe hardships through
which he and his men passed, said
to-day that enormous beds of coal
and copper lie in the Antarctic re-
gions
"on account of the ice fields, we
were unable to make a complete sur
vey. and don't know exactly how big
the ore and coal fields are" he said.
They are very extensive, however 1t
would be a difficult task to produce
coal or ores because of the intense
cold and the difficulties in transpor-
tation, but perhaps some day science
Will overcome these handicaps."

Ga. congressman
Renew Battle for
Atlanta Reserve

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. ~
Alarmed for ~Atlanta's interests by
the report that the South would not
receive one of the regional banks and
that instead "fish- hook district" E"
including Georgia, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Virginia and Mary
land, with Richmond or Baltimore
the site of the regional bank for the
South. Representatives Howard,
Hardwick and Adamson, of Georgia
this afternoon appeared before the
Reserve Bank Committee and pro-
tested against any such plan and pre-
sented additional data in behalf of
Atlanta Senator Hoke Smith could
not appear because of illness.
. The Georgia Congressman told Sec
retaries McAdoo and Houston and
Comptroller John Shelton Williams,
who constitute the Reserve Commit
tee, that such a plan would be unjust
to every Southern State and to At
lanta in particular.
