CHRISTMAS FUND BENEFIT AT ATLANTA THEATER FRIDAY [ Legislative Committee Investi gates Chattanooga Terminals. Southern Amflous to Lease. Members of the Western and At lantic Railroad Commission of the State Legislature are in Chattanooga Thursday investigating the Chatta nooga terminals and other Tennes- see property of the State road, fol- owing a meeting held in the State t’apitol Wednesday. It virtuaJly was decided at Wed nesday’s mooting that whatever road is given the control of the Western and Atlantic will be required to dou ble track the lino from Atlanta to Chattanooga, and that in order to se cure this Improvement the lease will have to run for a longer period than heretofore. Whether this arrangement will meet with the approval of the Nash ville. Chattanooga and St, Louis, the present leasee of the road, and which, it is understood, desires a renewal, is not known. Southern Anxious to Lease. It is generally understood, however, that the Southern is anxious to lease the line and is willing to double track the road on condition that the lease run for a long term of years. The commission has not yet been able to obtain any definite figures on the cost of double tracking the road. Chairman Gun by Jordan presented a letter from Vice President H. D Spencer, of the Southern Railway, who stated that the cost of the im provement could hardly be estimated successfully until a survey and report had been made by a competent engi neer. Mr. Spencer, however, stated •wit the last double tracking the Southern system did, from Chatta nooga to Meridian. Miss., cost $30,000 a mile, while the cost of double track- ine the line from Atlanta to Gaines ville ran from $20,000 to $80,000 oer mile. Based on these figures, rhout $50,- 000 a mile is considered a fair aver age for the cost of double tracking the Western and Atlantic. Possibility of Sale Suqqestion. Mr. Jordan told the other members of the commission that certain ques tions should be asked any road that applies for a lease of the State line, which indicates the possibility of the < ommission recommending the sale of The property when it makes its report lo the Legislature. The roa<\s, he declared, should be asked how much they are willing to pay for the right of way, how much they will pay for the road with the properties not necessary for the op eration of the road taken out. and also how much they will be willing to oay for the Atlanta terminals on the plaza system proposed by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. Only six members attended the Wednesday meeting and made the trip to Chattanooga. They were <'’h«1rman Gunby Jordan, Senator M. C. Tarver, Representatives L. R. Akin, Alvin D. Greene, E. D.

For there is to be another show Christmas morning, and it depends a good deal on you whether it is to be a l oppy, joyous comedy, or a heart breaking tragedy.
