Atlanta, Ga, September, 2.-The
prospect of seven lightless night a
week is held out to the people of
Atlanta by the local fuel administra-
tor unless they take more pains to
economic in the use of election cur
rent. Already the lightless nights have
increased from two to four each week
and sill the Georgia Railway & Pow
er Company, which supplies electric
current for this city is in the grip of
a very serious shortage of Juice"
In order to keep in operation a num-
Der of industries making war supplies
it may be necessary to increase the
lightless nights from four to seven.
On such nights the White Way lights
are shut off, no show windows are
illumated, all electric signs are dark,
and the motion picture theaters use
no lights excent those required to
ilkuminate their entrances, without
unnecessary display.

j. c.. Bang arrived last week from
Madison, Mimi, and has assumed his
duties as superintendent Of the Mum
icipal Light and Power Co. Of Miller.
Mr.. Bang m highly recommended
for the position which he is to fill

IN Madison, where he held a similar
position for eighteen years. is quoted
from the Madison Western Guard:
~. c. Bang, who has been superin-
tendent of the municipal electric light,
power, water ana heating plant for
eighteen years has rendered his res
ignation to the council to accept the
SUPPLEMENTARY of the municipal
plant at Miller, South Dakota.
When Mr.. Bang first took charge of
the plant in Madison it was merely a
small institution serving a few OF the
people of the town with electric cur
rent during the evening. The plant
has grown steadily until today IL Is
furnishing electric current "a hours
a day for light, power and cooking,
steam heat from the exhaust, steam
and soft water for domestic purposes.
IL is today one of the best plants Of it's
kind in the state outside OF the large
cities and is making money for the
city. Considerable of the credit for
this splendid showing is due to the
untiring efforts of Mr.. Bang to make
a success of the plant, and he leaves
with feelings OF regret, but feels that
under the circumstances 1t is the best
thing for him to do at this time"
