More Modern Street Car From
Georgia R. R. to Sanitarium
The Georgia Public Service Com
mission ruled this week that a new
and more modern mode of conven
ience must be put on the Milledge-
viUe Railroad line from the Georgia
State Sanitarium to the Georgia
Railroad and that an adequate sche
dule must be maintained for the
convenience of the patrons of the
line.

Service Commission allowed the rail
road to discontinue th? operation of
the Street Car passenger line of the
Mi Hedge ville Railroad Company, lut
the action was halted when Col.
Marion Allen representing the citi
zens of Hardwick filed an injunction
to prevent the railroad from taking
this action. Judge Park ruled at
the injunction hearing that under
the charter granted the Railway
Company must maintain an adequate
passenger schedule along the line
and that a modern type of convyance
should he used.
Col. Allen filed before the Ser
vice Communion shortly after the
injunction was granted the request
that the roau be ordered to place a
new car on the line and that a regu
lar schedule be maintained. The
same request was made before the
Commission the pa-t week and a sec
ond order has been is-uod that a
modern car be purchased.
Col. Allen stated that the new car
wou ( d be placed at an early date ac
cording to the instruction from the
commission and a regular schedule
be established and followed.
