t5He CITY BUILDER ENGRAVING BY WRIGLEY PHOTOGRAPH BY REEVES BROAD STREET, ATLANTA, LOOKING NORTH Ma r c I 92 5 IP m HE GEORGIA RAILWAY & POWER COMPANY is deeply appreciative of the action of the City Council in voting for the elimination of un­ T regulated jitney competition with the street railroad. The action accords with our firm belief in the fairness of the city govern­ ment and the people themselves when fully informed of the facts. Plans are now being made for meeting the increased street railway trav­ el that is expected as soon as jitneys discontinue operation by increasing serv­ ice with additional cars. Present schedules will be augmented and speeded up wherever possible. We have arranged for immediate delivery of twenty new, large, modern street cars. We believe that the people of Atlanta realize that the enactment of the jitney ordinance is only the first step toward the complete solution of the transportation problem. We are confident that the citizens of Atlanta and their representatives in Council are ready and anxious to go ahead now with additional construc­ tive steps. Naturally the complete solution of the transportation problem will call for complete co-operation between the City and Company. Representatives of the Company are ready to meet in conference with representatives of the City to discuss all details of the transportation prob­ lem and arrive at definite conclusions and agreements for its permanent settlement in the public interest. We believe the time has come when every individual citizen, every busi­ ness organization and every civic organization should co-operate and get to­ gether on a broad constructive plan for building up the community. This Company is ready to do its full part in such a plan. Let us all start to work now! Georgia Railway and Power Co.
