CENTRAL OF GA. RAILROAD TO
SPEND TWENTY MILLION
DOLLARS IN 1*30
UMOMICOMU. miLMSClVItH, GA., JANUARY 1C. IMC
More than twenty million dollars
will be spent ir. this territory by the
Central of Georgia during 1930, ac
cording to announcement of A. E.
Clift, president of that company, in
a statement published elsewhere in
this paper. “Most of this will go
for current operating expenses,’’
says Mr. Clift, “but there will be
large expenditures for important im
provement and replacement pro
grams."
Wages to its employee^ is mention
ed by the Central’s president as mak
ing up the largest item of its dis
bursement program, more than twelve
million dollars being needed for this
purpose. One and one-half million
dollars will be used to pay the rail
road’s taxes. Mr. Clift cites the fact
that for every one of the past eight
years the Central of Georgia’s tax
payments have exceeded the amount
paid in dividends to the owners of its
stock.
Coal for the railroad’s use will be
another heavy item of expense, about
one and one-half million dollars be
ing required for this fuel item. |
Speaking of the railroad's regular
program for additions .and better
ments, carried on from year to year
in order that its facilities may be
kept at a high standard of efficiency,
Mr. Clift says:
“Approximately two million dol
lars has been authorized for this
program of additions and betterments
ir. 1930. One million doliars will be
u«ed to purchase 550 new freight
cars, while a large part of the other
million dollars will be used for the
nur-rhasc of new 9<Lpo:ind rail—of
which a minimum of 5,000 tons will
be put down during the year. Order*
lor this material and cquipmena have
placed with southern manu
facturers, it being the policy of this
railroad to patronize industries of the
sections it serves.*’
Mr. Clift closes with the state
ment that every shipper or traveler
r the Central cf Georgia can rest
assured that the money ho pays tho
railroad will be kept in circulation in I
the section which it serves. (
