WORT BE RECEIVED
Long delayed because of a Are In
the Portsmouth office# which destroyed
valuable records, tha Seaboard Air
Line has Anally made Its annual fe
turns to the comptroller general.
And the Increase Is so small that
Captain Wright will decline to receive
the returns.
The total returns on tangible and
franchise values amount to 39.4*9,192,
of which 31,(00,000 Is for the franchise,
exactly the Agures of last year.
An increase of only 343,933 Is shown,
presumptively on 14.73 miles of new
■tdetrark.
For the new line between Atlanta
and CedartoWn the Seaboard Axes tha
value at 33,000 per mile. It le said
that this new roadbed 1* one of the
Anest and beet ballasted In the South.
Last year the comptroller Axed the val-
nation of the new road of the Louis
ville and Nashville (the Atlanta, Knox-
vllle and Northern) at 312,300 per mile,
and the Louisville and Nashville ac
cepted It without arbitration.
Now the comptroller does not under
stand how the Seaboard can build a
new line over territory offering almost
as great obstacles a* tbe other In con
struction at *7,(00 less per mile.
On this specification he will demand
further facts. Some of the mileage of
the Seaboard Is returned as low a*
14,000 and some as high as 13,000.
The returns are not satisfactory by
any means, and unless the Seaboard
will agree to raise them, an arbitration
fa certain.
With the exception of Colonel James
M. Smith's two short tinea, every road
In the state has made returns fur this
year.
