RAISING Of
PUBLIC UTILITY RATES

ATLANTA, Ca, May 2S.--That the
railroad commission thoroughly APP
preciates the situation in which the
public utilities find themselves on ac-
count of the greatly increased cost of
operation is plainly indicated in the
commissions letters Of transmittal
and review accompanying its annual
report to the governor, which is made
public today.
The annual report is voluminous
document filling book. 1t is always
accompanied by letter of transmittal
and review which summarizes THE
contents of the report. Discussing the
subject of public utilities and the eff
feet of the war conditions on their
rates. the commission in it's letter
says:
THE first and still one of the most
important developments was the alb
normal rise in the . ice of materials,
supplies and labor. Materials and
supplies ordinarily used in the manu-
facture of machinery and even manu-
featured articles have been COM
Wandered by the government, and
this has resulted in a shortage of
practically every industry contributing
to the construction and operation Of
pulic utilities. OF has been difficult
to obtain machinery and supplies at
ALL Not only have prices advanced
enormously, but delays in delivery of
orders have been growing more and
more vexatious. The results have
been serious, and some of the larger
Georgia utilities have reached more
or less critical situation, finding that
demands for light and power have
Outgrown their capacity before ade-
quate provision could be made to meet
such demands.
"All of these conditions are now
contributing toward a reversal of the
tendencies of the recent past. Year
after year manufacturing costs were
being decreased and machinery of
greater efficiency eing built. The
companies were acquiring more Gus
toners and as a whole favorable con-
ditions were reducing the rates of
local public utilities and their service
as bwecoming more and more a mat
ter of daily necessity. Within the
past year We find this tendency adj
vanced. 1t seems unfortunate. that the
ground gained must to some extent be

RED CROSS NEWS

The American Red Cross and the
Government dollar will stand side by
side in the marts of trade hereafter.
One will be on the same footing as
the other Red Cross purchases are
to be accorded the same prices and
the same priority privileges as those
of the Government, according to re-
cent decision of the War Industries
Board.
From this time forward the Red
Cross dollar will go as far as the
Government dollar, and will thus be
more efficient than it has been in the
past" says the New York Journal of
Commerce, in discussing the ruling.
"The new rule will be \ source of
qualification to the MANY voluntary
contributors to the Red Cross all over
the country" it continues. "It as
sures them that every advantage will
now be taken to secure the supplies
that must be obtained through the
charity of the country on basis that
will not add serious disturbing in
fuerce to general trade.
1T will also make contributors feel
that their money is being well spent
To many men in the trade who have
been large contributors to the Red
Cross both direct and indirect it will
give assurance that all manufactures
will be treated alike and fairly as
to the proportion of merchandise they
are required to furnish for war pur-
poses"
The importance of the action taken
by the War Industries Board may be
best understood through the state
ment of an official of the American
Red Cross bureau of purchases, who
estimates that it saved $4,000 on a
single order placed a few days ago.
The attitude of the War Department
and the War Industries Board to-
wards this coordination of purchases
with the American Red Cross has
been most cordial and helpful. This
action will be of the highest value
to Red Cross work both at home and
abroad, The Capitalization, direction,
and control of chapter purchasing at
