A new charter for tills corporation will be obtained under the Alabama laws, with a capitalization of several million dollars, and it is proposed to absorb the East & West, the Birming ham & Atlantia, tho Tredogar .Mineral Road, and extend the E, & W. to Bir mingham from l’ell City, Ala. The plan also contemplates the early ex tension of the eastern termlnuB to At lanta from some point on the road east of Cedartown, and with other com pleted extensions and missing links, tho new Birmingham, Alabama A Georgia would embrnoe a valuable ag gregation of railroads right in the heart of the great iron regions of Georgia and Alabama. This new lino would either form tho muoh-needed link botween the great Seaboard Air Line system nnd the Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham road, or would be allied with both by a olose tralllc arrangement. The urgency of tho woBtorn exten sion from Boll City to Dhmingham lias boon recognized, nnd it is said that contracts for tho building of that extension hnvo been made with the Maulmttan Construction Compnny of New York.
