AUGUSTA CAIN BEST BE BUILT
Through the Organization of a
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Because—
It offers Augusta the opportunity to profit by the two great
things taught by the war: To apply unselfish service and co
operative organization to the benefit of this whole commun
ity.
The Chamber of Commerce is to be fpunded on the great
fact that a community can make no continuing progress un
less the citizens learn to intelligently serve the public wel
fare and apply team thinking and team working to commun
ity affairs.
Augusta can have whatever advancement, prosperity or
happiness it wants, but it will obtain these things only
through co-ordination of effort. The Chamber of Com
merce will provide a permanent and efficient public institu
tion to which each citizen may contribute his share of serv
ice in community advancement.
...
Because—
■* • /
1. It will represent all sections of the city.
2. It will have the greater influence of greater numbers.
3. It will have a larger, more democratic, more representa
tive membership.
4. It will pay dividends in actual accomplishments.
5. It will have the power to force to conclusion, and the
right conclusion, the movement started.
(], It will have a definite plan of work all of the time.
With these features the Chamber of Commerce, representing
as it will the entire community, will be in a position to as
sist and strengthen all other organizations in their effort
for betterment of Augusta. <
It will serve as a clearing house for these efforts and also
for the suggestions of any resident of the city so that the
best ideas for the good of Augusta may be used effectively.

The Aftermath
of Flu
This is No. 1 of a series of advertisements, prepared by a
competent physician, explaining bow certain diseases which
• ttadc the air passages—such as Pneumonia, Influenza, Whoop
ing Cough, Measles or even Belong continued Cold—often leave
ihese organs in an inflamed, congested state, thus affording a
favorable foothold for invading germs. And how Vick’s Vapo
Rub may be of value in this condition.
Your doctor will impress upon
you that following recovery from
the active stage of influenza,
there often remains an inflamed,
congested condition of the air
passages—throat, larynx, bron
chial tubes and lungs.
Frequently the cough hangs on
—soreness of the chest persists—
you take cold easily and there
may be obstinate catarrh. This
condition is slow to clear up and
if neglected may favor the de
velopment of pneumonia, or later
on, serious disease of the lungs.
Such cases should continue
under the care of their physician
—should exercise moderately in
the open air—eat plenty of whole
some food—avoid overwork and
sudden chills.
Nightly applications of Vick’s
VapoRub may help nature to
complete the process of repair.
Because Vicks acts locally by
stimulation thru the skin to
draw out the inflammation, at-i
tract the blood away from the!
congested spots and relieve the
cough. In addition, the medici
nal ingredients of Vicks are
vaporized by the body heat.'
These vapors are breathed in all
night long, thus bringing the
medication to bear directly upon i
the inflamed areas.
Vicks should be rubbed in
over the throat and "chest until
the skin is red-then spread on|
thickly and covered with hot •
flannel cloths. Leave the cloth- J
ing loose around the neck and
the bed clothes arranged in the
form of a funnel so the vapors
arising may be freely inhaled.j
If the cougn is annoying, swallow;
a small bit of Vicks the size of a]
pea. j
Samples to new users will be'
sent free on request to the Vick
Chemical Company, 231 Broad,
Street, Greensboro, N. C.

DIFFICULTY OF PUBLIC
UTILITIES EXTENSIONS
Benjamin F. Cleaves, chairman of
the Maine Public Utilities Commit
eion, says it is probably true that
each public service company in the
State has, during the past two and
one half or three years been asked
to make extensions which had to be
refused.
“Until very recently companies
were unable to obtain either the
necessary materials or the necessary'
labor to make these extensions,"
said Chairman Cleaves.
"It was believed that owing to the
exceedingly high prices such exten
sions should be postponed wherever
possible. This belief was based
upon the hope that there would be
sharp and immediate recession in
costs following the conclusion of
hostiities^ Such hope bids fair to be
deferred, tor no one at the present
moment believes that prices and
costs will be immediately lessened
to any considerable extent. It fol
lows that extensions must be in
definitely postponed or accomplished
under the prevailing high prices. If
a public service company is to enjoy
a monopoly in its territory it should
reasonably so extend its facilities as
to satisfy that territory.
“Reasonable extensions should not
be refused upon the ground either j
that they will not immediately be I
fully remnuerative so that at pre-'
vailing prices the cost of service '■
will be so Increased as to somewhat
burden customers already receiving
service with existing fo«tl 1 ties. Each
extension should be viewed broadly
and fairly. If the territory seems to
offer reasonable promise of future
business success and there is a rea-:
sonnble necessity for present exten- I
sion, the same should not be defer- |
red until financial success • of. tho
venture is assured. Oftentimes .an
extension serves as a spur for de
velopment which noon brings the
very success aimed at. In some in
stances a desired extension cannot
be made at regular rates. In many
instances the utilities commission
has worked out with the company
and a prospective customer jl way j
In wrhlch the extension ‘ could be j
made, either by the customer con*
trlbuting toward the capital expense
or by agreeing to pay for a definite
time a somewhat higher rate than
that offered to customers more for
tunately situated.
“I desire to call special attention
to one matter which I find is not
generally understood. I refer to the
joint use of facilities. It is common
sight to see electric cars of one cor
poration running on tracks belong
ing to another corporation. 'This is
necessary in order to avoid the ex
pense and annoyance of the duplica
tion of facilities and in order that
the customers of the company using
the facilities of another corporation
may be served at more reasonable'
rates. The same law which author- 1
izes an electric railway company to I
use the traefc and facilities of anoth
er also authorizes the use of other
facilities.
“Our statute provides as follows:
‘Whenever the commission, after a
hearing had upon its own motion or
upon complaint of a public utility
affected, shall find that public con
venience and necessity require the
use by one public utility of the con
duits. subways, tracks, wires, poles, |
pipes or other equipment, or any
part thereof, on, over or under any.
street or highway, and belonging to
another public utility, and that such
use will not result in irreparable in
jury to the owner or other users of
the same or any substantial detri
ment to the service and that such
public utilities have failed to agree
upon such use or the terms and
conditions or compensation for thei
same, the commission may, by or
der, direct that such use be permit
ted and prescribe reasonable com
pensation and reasonable terms and
conditions for the joint use.’
“As an illustration of what may*
be dohe under the statute; If an elec
tric light and power company de
sires to extend Us lines through a
locality where a telephone company <
already has a pole line, there may |
be. If the conditions and clrcumstan- !
ces warrant, a use of these telephone
poles by the light and power com- ,
pany. Conversely an extension of
telephone service may be had by
use of the poles of a light and power i
company."
