Atlanta transit and power firms authorize consolidation plan
The report by the special committee outlines a comprehensive consolidation of Atlanta Railway and Power Company, Atlanta Rapid Transit Company, Georgia Electric Light Company, and Atlanta Steam Company. The ordinance grants authority to merge assets, rights, and franchises, to operate electric light, heat, and power services, and to open streets for utility works within Atlanta city limits.
