Mayor to sign gas rate probe after council vote
The Atlanta council may approve a resolution calling for a gas rate and quality investigation by the railroad commission against Atlanta Gas Light Company. Mayor Winn says the move awaits aldermanic board concurrence, while President Arkwright of Georgia Railway and Electric complains the council is acting in bad faith after a separate electric rate agreement. Some council members side with Arkwright, others see no link to the electric agreement. The aldermanic board will act Thursday on the electric power agreement. Georgia Railway and Electric is not expected to recede from its terms.
