A. B. & A. FILES CLAIM
AGAINST GOVERNMENT
The Transportation Act, 1920,
guaranteed to the railroads com¬
plying with certain provisions of the
act, protection against deficits in
their operating revenues for the
period of six months, March to Au¬
gust, 1920, inclusive, which was con¬
sidered a period of readjustment due
to the return of the railroads to
their owners after operation by the
United States Railroad Administra¬
tion.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and At¬
lantic Railway Company accepted
the guaranty provisions of the Trans¬
portation Act, 1920, and has filed
with the Interstate Commerce Com
igion a c j 8im amounting to $627,
402 .r,7, which amount is due that line
by the Government to make good its
guaranty.
MARSHALLVILLE PLAYERS
DELIGHT FORT VALLEYANS
The play, “All a Mistake, M pre¬
sented here at hte Austin Theatre
Monday night by Marshallville home
talent for the benefit of the Marshall¬
ville school library, elicited very fa¬
vorable comment. The plot was inter¬
esting, the situations gripping, and
the acting would have done credit to
many professionals. A fair sized au¬
dience was on hand despite the very
inclement weather, and we are glad
to know that our friends from the
neighbor city realized some profit
from the play after paying expenses.
Had the weather been mor propitious
their library fund would no doubt
have been very substantially increas¬
ed. The music by the Marshallville
home band was also a pleasing fea¬
ture of the show.
Come again, friends, and Jupiter
Pluvius permitting, we will treat you
PAGE I
better.
