Messrs. Morris, of Cobb, and Cole,
Of Barlow, Succeed In Getting Pro-
vision Placed In Bill Passed bv
Legislature.

All six of the North Georgia conn
ties traversed by the Western and
Atlanta railroad are under obliga-
lions to representative E. D. Cole
Of Barlow, and representative Fred
Norris, of Cobb for their untirine ana
successful efforts toward having in.
corporated in the w. & A. releasine
bill a clause which empowers the
releasing commission to make pro-
vision for the lessee of the state roa1
to pay the annual county tax -
each county through which the road
runs, according to the tax rate nf
said county for each year on the
value of the property of the road in
such county.
The six counties traversed by the
Western and Atlantic are Fulton.
Cobb, Barlow, Gordon, Whitfield
and Catoosa. While the other mem
bers of the legislature representing
these counties lent their support to
the proposition, the chief credit for
its success must go to Messrs. Cole
and Morris, both of whom made
their races for the Legislature mainly
on this question.
Mr.. Cole was a member of the
commission which made an investi-
cation of the w. & A. properties
and reported to the General Assem-
bly, of 1914, and at his suggestion
that commission recommended that
the new lease provide for the pay

mately 100000 was improperly
charged to capital"
In conclusion, Mayor Harrison
said: ''The more I see Of private own
eTship of public utilities the more
am convinced that there is but one
safe and sane plan for the public to
adopt, namely, to set its mind with
determination upon public ownership
and not to deViate by hair's-breadth
from the most direct course by which
it may be attained
Private management is interest
ed in profitable operation. Economy
of operation and inferior service con-
tribute Unfailingly to increased prof
its. Economy of operation consists
chiefly of low wages and long hours
for all employees except the higher Of
ficials. Private management, more
over, can be made profitable by all
the devious ways and schemes known
to the modern and Up-tO-date finan-
cier. The surface lines are paying
their stockholders a dividend of per
cent upon a valuation of which $780,
100000 at least is represented by no
physical property whatever. This is
a part of the price the people paid
for the 1907 ordinances. An addi-
tionaI 5 per cent is paid upon all the
additions to the capital since 1907,
so cleverly evolved by the companies
with the approval of the board Of SUI
pervising engineers"
In that same message Mayor Har-
risOn shows that the total expenses
of that interesting board Of superVis-
ing engineers, which was placed on
Chicago's back by the 1907 Ordi-
nances, have been 81, 519, 219.74 from
Feb. 1, 1907, to Jan. 81, 1915.

brought out during the street railway
arbitration hearing that the city
would have to pay $145,OoO,O 900 for
the surface lines if they were to be
taken over NOW, while the price in
1907 would have been but $55,OOO,-
900.
In his final message to council,
dated April 8, 1915, Former Mayor
Harrison explained this situation and
the financial jugglery which brought
it about. He said:
by evolving the ingenious plea
that the companies are entitled to a
theoretical depreciation of power
plants which do not exist, but which
they would be forced to maintain if
they did not buy their electrical cur
rent from the Commonwealth Edison
Co., by charging to capital account
instead Of to the individual accounts
OF the companies, the costs of paving
r1ghts-Of-Way, by computing interest
on items properly charged to capital
account and paying such improper in
terest from gross receipts and by
other improper charges, the finan-
ciers, if the corporation counsel is
right in his contention, have BHKED
THE PUBLIC OUT OF MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS"

items and brought up "the total

There was considerable fum-

The practice was fast and the

siderable part of the early after
boon with the freshman squad,
showing how to play the different

The juniors spent nearly an

formed . large circle on the field
and kept two balls going around.
The juniors have the largest

The exhibit will be similar to
the one last year, with the excep-
tion that 1t will be larger. One
of these new features is some

has laid down the rules to reward
good approach shots.
OF the 18 holes he picked four
in each nine where approaches
shall count points. They are: the
second, mashie or midiron;
fourth, midiron or barrie: sixth,
midiron or mashie; eighth, mid
iron or mashie; twelfth, mashie
or brassie; fourteenth, midiron
or mashie; sixteenth, midiron or
brassie; eighteenth, midiron or
brassie.
If, on the approach, the player
gets on the green well enough to
hole out in two, he scores a point,
If close enough to hole out in one,
two points. If he holes the APP
proach he scores three.
Many believe the idea may be
developed and perfected into a
system of scoring for each course
in the country.
