4 TfiE^ ATLANTA UEUKUiAiN AJNi) NEWS. m. 41 LESSEES]ATLANTA TO SEE RECORD GALAXY OF STAGE STARS AT CHRISTMAS FUND BENEFIT AT ATLANTA THEATER FRIDAY E LOLITA ROBERTSON. AURIEMA. ROSE COGULAN Legislative Committee Investi gates Chattanooga Terminals. 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.
