LACK OF MATERIAL
STATE NEWSJF INTEREST
Brief News Items Gathered Here And
There From All Sections Of
The State
Atlanta. —The southern division of
the Asphalt association of New York,
convening in Atlanta at the Ansley
hotel recently, took drastic steps to
ward the relief of the southern road
building tie-up due, it is said, to the
recent coal and railroad strikes, and
subsequent priority rulings, relative to
road materials, made by the Interstate
Commerce commission.
Contractors, road engineers, state
highway officials, and asphalt mate
rial men, from various southern states,
in conference in session brought
out that the work on more than 600
miles of paving in the southeastern
states, is being held up because of the
non-release of open top freight cars
for the movement of road material.
The road building tie-up in the
South, the officials of the asphalt asso
ciation say, is causing contractors, and
material men, in charge of the various
projects a great deal of concern.
Western Union Lease Is Upheld
Atlanta. —The supreme court hand
ed down a decision recently holding
that the Western Union Telegraph
company possesses, through a lease,
an equity in the Transportation build
ing at the corner of Forsyth and Ma
rietta, which entitles the company to

superior court shauld have granted the
company an injunction protecting this
equity during litigation which develop
ed when the Metropolitan Life Insur
ance company sought to foreclose a
$400,000 mortgage on the building.

legal circles. When the Metropolitan
company sought to foreclose a mort
gage of $400,000 by the Brown-Rand
olph company the telegraph company,
which holds a 20 year lease on part
of the building, took steps to protect

tigation conducted by the interstate

al to eliminate classification and can
cel shipments of less than carload
lots would greatly increase the cost of
loving in this section and would have

wholesale houses dependent upon ship
ments of food products from northern
