Take No Substitute. Reported That Southern Deal Has Failed to . Materialize. The Indications now are that If the Seaboard Air Line wants a road Into Atlanta from Macon In order to con tinue Its new acquisition—the Macon, Dublin and Savannah to this city—It must build an entirely new line. Those In a position to know, say such a proposition Is hardly among the P re « ent - When Preel- dent Finley, of the Southern, spoke In S u"i e i ,m ® “S® he said the southern had offered the Seaboard both and trackage privileges over the Southern between Macon and Atlanta. i ne Seaboard, according to President r inlay, has declined to accept the prop osition made by the Southern regarding the use of Its tracks for Seaboard trains, and the second proposition of sending freight and passenger traffic over the Southern from Macon on southern trains Is now being consld- Slnce the Seaboard acquired the M., D. & S. road It gave the Seaboard a «hort line from Macon to Savannah, and If It had a short road Into Atlanta It would be In a position to gather In a big slice of the traffic from Atlanta to Savannah by reason of having a much shorter and quicker schedule. At present the Atlanta, Grlffln and Macon Electric Railway Company Is building, or Is about to build, a line from Atlanta to Macon and as this route Is between the Southern and the Central there Is no other available route for the Seaboard to select In case a road would be built. The new trolley line Is -being built along the lines of a steam road, with few curves and a slight grade, so that when completed It will make an Ideal Bteam route.
