Atlanta, (Jr., 1Hm\ S), ? iPilbHc utilities .1 .ui private plants operated solely by hy&KHtfootrtc power were exempted from fhortrnH hours by the regional coil com. mlttee today and Industries, stores and other nlioM of business ?were fcutborited lu remain open betweeu i p. tn. uud t> a, in. provided that .during the latter hours they use no heat, light or power derived In any fashion from coal, wood or gas. grocery, meat and milk stores, barbershops and places of public amuse ment may be operated out of their hours provided tbey o<>mply with the same reg ulations. Hydro-rlertrlc plants will be required tw show that no imuI, wood or gas ii usihI in generation of their electricty and that no coal, wood or gas is used in any way outside the regular hours. Heads of such plant* wer? asked to come to Atlanta and furaish such proof as soon as possible. * ? Certain businesses and organii&atlona wore added tonight by the , committee to those classes that are permitted to be operated 4t any time. They i.*e wholesale druggets, drug manufacturers, churches, fraternal organisations, soelal flubs, coal mines ?vnd coal mine commis saries and other necessary branches of CO*! mines. . / The committee added that gasoline tilling station* may be operated uutil S p. m. aud Ravages, with tho necessary safety lights, lit all hours. The committee'^ statement, extending tln> hours of stores aud of hydro-eleetrl cally drive u plants follows: business iftay open before 1) a, m. and cloaa later than 4 p. in. if outside of those hours the.v use no heat, light or power1 which was produced in any way with coal wood or gas. This modifica tion is made strictly upon the condition that those plants and places of business which use hea? during the hours fixed by the committee will shut off their fuel consumption at the mime time It/ would be shut off >f they' were clotting doors ut 4 p. inM that heat w(H he uped no earlier iu the morning than allowed by the original regulations. Grocery, meat and milk stores, barbershops and places of public umuaemcnt may operate out side of special hours lixed for them, If they comply with the above Conditions. "Evidence has been placed before the southern regional coal committee show ing that in certain cities and towns of the region there arc public utilities and private industrial planta which manufac ture or use exclusively hydro-electric l>ower and whose operations, therefore, do not involve the consumption of coal or gfiS. Where such a situation exists, it i* recognized that application of pres ent restrictions designed to reduce fuel consumption would work unnecessary hardship upon plants, employes aud com munities with no proportionate benefit to the people of the region generally. "Therefore this committee gives no tice that industries*, stones aud business houses dependent upou diydro-elcctrlc cur rent, In the generation of which no coal, wood or gas is" consumed, may open and operate outside of hours fixed by the fuel conservation regulations ; provided, however, that no ?oal, wood or gas, or heat, light or power generated by coal or wood or gas are used during such ad ditional hours. "The regulations as previously an nounced continue to apply fully to con sumers of electric current supplied by utilities operating auxiliary' Plants con suming coal, wood or gas, or obtaining current from other utilities using coal, wood or gas. "Public and private utilities arc de pended upon by this committee to give the mayor or other chief officer In each community information concerning the classes of power furnished to the plants in their communities," Killed an Kagle.
