Central of Georgia Renews Its Pledge of Co-operation
For Industrial Development of the South.
The territory served by the Central of Georgia is one that is particularly suited for
industrial development. Recognition of the Souths many natural advantages has in recent
years brought a marked expansion in both the number and the output of its manufactur
ing plants. This expansion has been by no means confined to textiles, but has included ev
er ybranch of industry. Although the yearly output of the South’s cotton mills has a val
ue of nearly one billion dollars, this is less than ten per cent, of the annual value of all
products manufactured in fhe South.
iSumerous factors have contributed to the South’s industrial growth. A favorable
climate permits year around factory operation, while in winter mild temperatures and
relatively long days keep expenditures for heat and light at a minimum. The labor sup
ply is efficient and plentiful. Taxes are uniformly lower than in other sections, and there
is a general public disposition to co-operate with those investing money in southern in
dustries. \
The raw materials of the South include mineral, forest and agricultural products,
and are practically limitless: In Georgia alo ne are found 45 of the 52 known commercial
minerals. The great iron deposits of Alabama are being put to increasing use, while on or
near the Central of Georgia are extensive coal beds that assure abundant fuel for indus
tries of the South. 1 he numerous and widely distributed rivers and streams of Georgia,
Alabama and Tennessee not only furnish ch sap hvdro-electric power but, supplemented
by artesian supplies, furnishes abundant w iter for industrial use.
fuel, A favorable and water, climate, expanding efficient labor, abundant raw materials, cheap and plentiful alone
| will power markets, and a co-operative public spirit— these
not serve as a base for industrial development. Means of transporation must be pro
vided to bring in raw materials and carry out finished goods. The South has more than
! one-third of the total railroad mileage of the United States, and this proportion is hi'
j i easing. In 1928 southern railroads spent 20 3 million dollars in improvement programs,
