ATLANTA, Ga., May 24.—With a capitalization of $3,000,000, a syndi
cate of Atlanta, Griffin and Macon capitalists has applied to the city coun
cil of Atlanta for a franchise for an electric railroad. The new line,
which will connect Atlanta with AfScon, /via Griffin, will be the longest
trolley road in the South. Application for a charter for the Atlanta, Grif
fin & Macon Electric Railway Company will shortly be made to the sec
retary of state. It is stated that the road will be ready for operation
within eighteen months.
Here are the men who are backing the new enterprise: N. P. Platt,
president of the Platt Laboratory;. Col. Clifford L. Anderson and. W. A.
Wimbish, both well-known lawyers, and all three of Atlanta; W. J. Kincaid,
president of the Kincaid. Mills; Seaton Grantland and J. M. Brawer, who -
are associated with him in mill enterprises, and Dr. N. B. Drewery, all of
Griffin, Dr. Drewery being mayor of Griffin; and W. J. Massee and J. T.
Moore, manufacturers, of Macon, and Minter Wimberly, a prominent attor
ney of Macon.
The officers of the company have not yet been selected, but it is ex
pected that they will be chosen by the time the charter is applied for,
Engineers will at once be sent out to make a survey and a right-of-way
will be secured with all possible haste, as the promoters say they propose
to lose no time in putting their plans for an interurban line into effect.
The line will be about 88 miles in length. It will be about the same
length as the line of the Southern Railway running from Atlanta through
Griffin to Macon. The electric road, however, will not parallel the tracks
of the Southern. It is proposed to operate cars on just as fast sched
ules as those ^maintained by the steam roads. The application to the city
council of Atlanta was merely to secure from the municipal authorities
permission to enter the city. Similar applications will be made to the
cities of Macon and Griffin. . .

LOSES IN
With Private Shipbuilding
Concern — Furthermore,
Uncle Sam’s Work .is
Proved Most Expensive.
Washington, D. C., May 24.—The de
livery on Tuesday at Norfolk to tho
government of the completed battle
ship Louisiana, built by tho Newport
News Shipbuilding Co., ended In favor
of a private corporation the ■ struggle
of the last three and a half years to
determine whether the government
could build at one of its navy yards
a warship as quickly as It could bo
constructed In a private yard.
The keel of the loulsiana was laid
February 7, 1903, at .Newport News.
Tfie keel of the Connecticut, which
was to be built In competition, was
laid at the Brooklyn nn,vy yard March
7 of the same year. The Louisiana
was launched August 27, 1904, and the
Connecticut was launched on the ,29th
of the month following. In the further
.work, the Louisiana forged uhenil and
her delivery fa proliably somo months
ahead of the completion of tho Con
necticut.
One point against the government Is
that tho Louisiana cost the Navy De
partment $3,992,000, while tho Connec
ticut has already coiutimed the total
appropriation of $4,212,000, and the
builders have asked congress for $380,-
000 more.
