AS the tentative valuations" an

roads so valued, the figures nave
naturally created the impression of

That there will be introduced at
the next session of the Georgia leg
islature a bill TO put inter-urban
electric lines under the same re-
S;rictions with regard to fares for
children as the steam roads now

The bill will be to amend sections

by adding at the end of each of
said sections the following: I'm

MARIETTA MAN LIVES IN
UNIQUE CITY

The only city in the world which
uses natural hot water to supply
neat to houses, public bull din s, and
business premises is Boise Idaho.
Water at temperature Of one hun
dred and seventy-one degrees Fara-
renheit comes from wells in the
low foothills of the Boise Mountains
just outside the city, and for TWEEN
ty-five years it has all been used
for heating purposes.
There are two wells, each IS
inches in diameter and four hun
dred feet deep. The natural flow
was only eight hundred thousand
gallons day; but centrifugal
pumps nave increased the supply to
one million two hundred and fifty
thousand gallons every day. The
water is pumped into tank or re-
serVoir, and thence distributed to
the users in the city. One hundred
and thirty-nine buildings use it
for all purposes, including heat, and
one hundred other buildings use
it for bathing washing and cooking
