Legislative Committee Investi

Southern Anxious 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-
«ee property of the State road, fol
lowing a meeting held in the State
Capitol Wednesday.
It virtually was decided at Wed
nesday’s meeting that whatever road,
is given the control of the Western
and Atlantic will be required to dou
ble track the lin^ from Atlanta to
Chattanooga, and that in order to se
cure this Improvement the leage 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,
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 cowt of double tracking the road.
Chairman 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 been made by a competent engi
neer. Mr. Spencer, however, stated
that the last double tracking the
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
• f the commission that certain que*--
ions should be asked any road that
applies for a lease of the State line,
vhich indicates the possibility of the
commission recommending the sale of
he property when it makes its report
to the Legislature.
The roads, 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
Chairman Gunby Jordan. Senator M.
C. Tarver, Representatives L. R. Akin,
Alvin D. Greene, E. D. Cole and Hen
ry J. Fullbright.
