Competition in Sight for Atlanta Electric Franchise
The Constitution notes Atlanta Railway and Power filed acceptance of a granted franchise, with a $40,000 bond and 12 month completion plan. It argues competition could lower public lighting costs by about 10 percent, saving roughly $30,000 to $80,000 yearly, and praises Mayor Mims for supporting competitive electric service. It also welcomes back Dr Leo Reich to Atlanta's professional scene and city life.
