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 lowing a meeting held in the State apltol Wednesday. It virtually was decided at Wed nesday’s meeting that whatever road :« given the control of the Western and Atlantic will be required to dou ble track the lim 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 lessee of the road, and which, ;t is understood, desires a renewal, is not known. Southern Anxious to Lease. It is generally understood, however, •bat 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 lias not yet been able to obtain any definite figures on the cost of double tracking the road, i hairman Gunby 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 estima'ed successfully until a survey and report had bedn made by a competent engi neer. Mr. Spencer, however, stated that the last double tracking tho Southern system did, from Chatta nooga to Meridian, Miss., cost $30,000 a mile, while the coat of double track ing the line from Atlanta to Gaines ville ran from $20,000 to $80,000 oer mile. Based on these figures, rbout $50.- 000 a mile Is considered a fair aver age for the cost of double tracking the Western and Atlantic. Possibility of Sale Suaqestion. Mr. Jordan told the other members t the commission that certain ques- ons should be asked any road that • plies for a lease of the State line, hich indicates the possibility of the •mmission recommending the sale of • property when it makes Us report he Legislature. The roads, he declared, should be ’ ed how much the} are willing to ■ y for the right of way, how much v will pay for the road with the -operties not necessary for the op- ■ation of the road taken out, and also •v much they will be willing to oav ' r the Atlanta terminals on the plaza stem proposed by the Atlanta ’hamber of Commerce. only six members attended the Wednesday meeting and made the 'rip to Chattanooga.
