Power Co. Granted
Increase In Fares

The state railroad commission on
Wednesday allowed the Georgia Rail
way and Power company to raise the
price of street car rides from 5 to
cents. The new rates go into effect
on April IA, 1919, and include all lines
of the power company with the excep-
ton of the Decatur and College Park
lines in Atlanta. The fare on these
cannot be raised on account of an old
contract between these cities and the
power company in which, for certain
concessions the power company
agreed not to charge over . cents car
fare. The decision of the commission
is the result of a fight for higher
car fares by the power company lost
ing over a year. The increase was
opposed by a committee Of citizens
on the ground that the net income
from the Georgia Railway and Elec-
trio company was the largest in the
history of the company, and for this
reason an increase was not justiiable.
The power company, on the other
hand, claimed that unless an increase
was granted, the company would be
forced to iquidate.

GOVERNMENT WILL

The visit to. Atlanta Tuesday of

dollars in the south every month and
the probability that the peace-time
expenditures will be even far greater

months during the war has spent
something like $2O,O00,000 month

proximately 1000 civilians, will be

growth in number of employees and in

In company with Colonel Jack
Hayes, who is in command of the
supply depots in Atlanta; Lieutenant
Colonel ]. H. Bigley, whose office is

there will be many troops at the

of these.

Of the cruelties they had to bear.
Do you want the same thing to happen

You thank God that the stars in Old

While your darling sits in the parlor
