Atlanta May 21 The Railroad Commission opened a hearing at 10 am on the Georgia Railway and Power Company petition for an 83 1 3 percent increase across all departments. The case impacts north Georgia and Atlanta and could serve as a guide for public utility rates statewide amid war costs.

Authorities in Washington have urged rate enhancements as a war measure. The hearing is expected to last several days and draw statewide attention.
