ATLANTA TO SEE RECORD GALAXY OF STAGE STARS AT CHRISTMAS FUND BENEFIT AT ATLANTA THEATER FRIDAY Augustan to Answer Bogus Check Charge RICHMOND, VA., Dec 11.—W. D. Timberlake, aged 4S, of Augusta, Ga arrested yesterday In Baltimore, *as 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 see 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 j 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 *e 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, Louta, the present leesee of the road, and which, It is understood, desires a renewal, Is not known. Southern Anxious to Lease. Tt Is generally understood, however, hat 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 T he cost 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 cost 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 ave r - age for the cost of double tracking :he Western and Atlantic. Possibility of Sale Suqqestion. Mr. Jordan told the other members of the commission that certain quet- ons should be asked any road that implies for a lease of the State line, ■ hich Indicates the possibility of the ommission recommending the sale of he property when it makes its report o The Legislature, The roads, he declared, should be i.-ked 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- ration of the road taken out, and also how much they will be willing to pay fer the Atlanta terminals on the plazi -stem proposed by the Atlanta <’hamber of Commerce. <Tnly six members attended the I Wednesday meeting and made the ’rip to < 'hattanooga. They were Chairman Gunby Jordan, Senator M •'. Tarver, Representatives L. R. Akin, j Alvin P Greene, E. D. Cole and Hen- - J Pullbrlght.
