CAN NOT EXTEND SERVICE
UNLESS RATES INCREASED

Atlanta, Ga, May 5.-The benefits
OF electric power and interurban troll
ley Car service will not be extended 70
rural communities in North GEORGIA
and other sections OF the state unless
the public utility companies supply
ing this service are granted increas-
ed rates by the Railroad Commission
or Georgia. The local street railway
ana power company, which has a De-
ton for increased rates now nend-
ing before the Railroad Commission
has very frankly stated that present
earnings will not enable it to carry
out plans for water power deyelop-
ment and extension of service to ru-
raj communities, and has submitted
statements of its earnings under pres
ent rates which show that its finances
are not in condition to permit such
expansion.
On account of the fact that a ma.
lority OF its customers, as with other
petitioning public utilities, are locat-
ed III Atlanta and other cities. il &c
expected that there will be some op-
position from this source, but on the
other hand the people residing in ri.
al communities are vitality interested
IN the extension of electric service
and interurban trolley car facilities to
their doors, and they realize that thew
cannot secure these facilities unless
existing rates are raised.
The present rates for electr;ce
power and light, for street car fares
and tor gas, were fixed several wears
ago when pre-war prices prevailed in
all departments, and when the scale
OF wages paid to employees was very
much lower than it is at present
nence II the rates were reasonable
then, and were allowed to stand with.
out complaint from the public, it nee.
essarily follows that they are too low
under the present enormously increas.
ed prices paid for all materials and
equipment, and the present very
heavily increased scale of wages paid
to employees IN all departments.
