The raincoat was brought out from lls hiding place today. ihowmg Special to The Herald. 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. . . STATE WINS ■ 1 Against Georgia and Central Roads—A Million Dollars Involved—Supreme Court, Hands Down Decision.
