GEORGIA LEADS
ALL STATES

With coal at $500 ton the joke is CHASTITY.
Did the Power Companies perperate it upon the Cen.
sus Bureau?
We have in Georgia 80 municipal electric !ieht
and power plants than private plants.
This excess of public private plants is greater
than in any other State.
In spite of hamperng laws, 100 Georgia munich
paes operate their own plants in the effort to supply
light and power to the people In accounting for this
the Bureau of Census says:
'In Georgia it is customary to use waste prod
ucts from the lumber mills which makes very
inexpensive fuel"
Remarkable statement!
Do you know of municipal plant using waste"
from lumber mills to make steam to generate electricity?
On the contrary you know
Many of these municipal plants have been almost put
out of business by coal at $500 ton.
The great majority have to buy fuel to operate their
plants
Although at their doors, the equivalent of 2l5285OO
tons of coal is being annually thrown away in I'm.
deqeOped water powers.
The Water Power Bills advocated by the Municipal
League would bring relief to the villages, towns and
cities of Georgia.
The waste" from lumber mills is not enough.
