FI For the Ultimate Extension of Electric Railway to Al bany After Completion to Macon. Big enterprises move slowly, and each step in their development Is taken carefully, ’ after ' due delibera tion. It Is therefore of Interest to Alban ians to know that there has been fur ther encouraging development in the proposed building of an electric car line from.Macon to Albany, the line being an extension of the one already projected from Atlanta to Macon, and Its coming Into this section following the development of the Flint river water power. As stated In The Herald recently, there is power In the Flint just above Albany estimated at 60,000 horse. This tremendous energy Is stored be tween Albany and Warwick, It being estimated that a dam just above the mouth of Muckafoonee creek would alone develop 12,000 to l£,000 horse power. The Albany Business League, through Secretary Betjeman, has re ceived a letter from one of the chief promoters of the electric line, and the statement is made by the writer that the matter will be taken up with the serious view to carrying through the extension of the line to Albany as soon as It reaches Macon from At lanta. From what has recently been made public, there appears little doubt that the Atlanta-Macon line will at no dls tant date become an accomplished fact, and little time will then be lost In getting to work on that end of the big enterprise In which Albany Is principally Interested. Certain It is that the Flint river power Is too Inviting a proposition to be very long neglected, now that this section Is developing bo rapidly. s B oxne MASONS ACCEPT INVITATION To Lay Cornerstone of New High School Building—Grand Master Mev. erhardt Will Preside.
