1 Mr. Pulley also lists the improve
ment brought to completion by the
Central during 1927, among them the
company hospital at Savannah for
of the road’s employes; the open-
infJ of connecting track link with the
Mary Lee Railroad at Birmingham,
affording a better outlet over the
Central from this, important indus-
tr.il region: the installation of new
track scales at Savannah, l nion
Springs and Alexander City; and the
l.uilding of a new 15-sU.ll round-
house at Savannah. Eighty-seven
miles of track were relaid with heavi-
. r rail, while 525,000 cross-ties were
u "d in track improvement work dur
ing the year.
Mr. Pelley points out that the mon-
t y for improvements such a: those
included in the Central of Georgia’s
1927 and 1028 programs is only in
part available from current revenues,
hut that these improvements must
be financed largely upon railroad
credit He says that it is to the inter
est of railroad patrons as well as of
th railroads themselves that this
credit be protected by the assurance
of adequate earnings for the carriers.
"Unless assured of reasonable re
turns upon their money, the invest
ing public will shun railroad securi
ties” declares Mr. Pelley “and rail
road service will suffer because it
will not be possible to attract new
capital to finance improvements that
must be made if railroad sendee is
to be maintained at its present high
level of efficiency.”
The Central of Georgia’s earnings
during 1027 showed a considerable
decrease as compared with other
years, necessitating measures of
strict economy and increased effici
ency on the railroad’s part.
BEAUTY A TOWN ASSET
(From Ft. Valley Leader-Tribune.)
In spite of the apparent com
mercialism of the age in which we
live, it is evident to any observer that
the American people are rapid
ly developing a greater appreciation
of the beautiful. This is not con
fined to the wealthier classes, but
extends to the great masses in the
towns and villa'ges and in the rural
districts.
New towns and new sections of
thp older ones are being laid out
with wider streets, with prov
larger lawns, more trees, shrubbery
and flowers, and a more attractive
setting generally.
Recently built houses show better
architecture and greater harmony
with their surrounding*, while un
sightly yard fences have largely dis
appeared. The net result of all these
modern developments is beauty. And
#>ide from the satisfaction which it
affords the eye, it pays in dollars
and cents.
Beautiful cities, town* and villages
auract people. They attract perman
ent residents, they attract tourists,
and they attract trade. It is natural
that a person selecting a trading cen-
ier w >il choose a town tAat is beauti
ful and clean in preference to one
l hat unsightly and dirty, if other
conditions ure anywhere near equal.
(From Cordele Dispatch.)
The editor of the weekly who toils
for his town, maintaining the air and
attitude of an optimist although ob
taining patronage from local mer
chants barely sufficient to keep body
and soul together, experiences one
of the pathetic ironies of life when
he receives a home town dun on
stationery printed in a neighboring
city.—Georgia Weekly Review.
Many Georgia papers have benefit
ed most because home people have
learned what it takes to operate
them. They are business institutions;
no longer a beggarly charity. The
home town paper publisher who per
mits his home merchants'to offer him
old shelf-worn clothes or stocks of
food supplies for his work, is dying
out. Georgia newspapers are better
because they have become business
institutions.
In the ten to twelve years we have
noted the progress in Georgia papers
we have to admit that it has been ns
marked as any other line. We have
some good papers—many of them—
and they do business as would strict
ly business institutions. It is making
them what they ought to be .
The home town merchant who
hunts something from out of town
in printing, has no right to call on
the home paper for any service—and
he isn’t going very far without the
of the home paper either as an
