Tile state railroad commission Thursday morning ordered the South ern Railway Immediately to have plana drawn for a new station ihilnesvtlle, Ga. Cheaply laid tracks are the assas sins of paving. This Is the essence of an Interview with City Engineer R. M. Clayton. "When rails are not properly laid, said Captain Clsyton, when asked for the reason why the streets were so badly mutilated where the paving Join ed the street railway tracks, "the vibration shakes the paving, the dust gets between the rails and the paving and this causes It to bulge. During the warm weather wagons passing along the streets mash this down and make ruts and when the cool weather comes on, the paving becomes brittle and the wagons crush It." Captain Clayton stated further that rails properly laid and ballasted vi brated to no damaging extent. The Interview on this subject was brought about by the deplorable state of the streets In certain sections of the city. Without exception, It has been found that near the street car tracks where the paving has been down any length of time the paving,.If concrete or similar substance. Is either broken to a dangerous extent or roughened by constant repair. These repairs are made by the city The Injury Is done by the Georgia Rnllway and Electric Company. Captain Clayton stated further that In some Instances there was no ballast on the railway tracks. The tracks have been laid and pinged to the ties and the asphalt poured over It.

In many cities, special ordinances provide for the manner of laying the tracks. In some the railways are com pelled to- keep up repairs. * Atlanta lacks both These laws. Charles p-AlvIgny. connected with the city engineering department In the rapacity of Inspector, and who has spent many years of h|s life in the study df street pavings, stated that all tracks should be laid on concrete base to alleviate the vibration. Mr. D’AI ly flit also watched with a trainee the dust theory'hnd declares that the vlbratldh of the rails nllowlng the dust to enter between the rails and the paving Is, In almost every Instance, the enuse of the disrepair. This matter along with the numer erous others cited In The Georgian, will probably be used as an argument for more stringent control of the street railway tbmpany.
