The Brunswick and Western Railroad.
For some time past street rumor and
newspaper reports have been busy with the
Brunswick and Western, and some rather
queer statements have been made. In
order to authoritatively contradict these
statements, we on yesterday called on
Mr.. ii. ;. Morse, the General Manager,
who assured us that there is no truth
whatever in the statement that the road
is under the control of the Central and
Savannah, Florida and Western, or that
any change whatever had taken place in
the management or officials of the road
other than his presence here as General
Manager.
The gentleman further stated, in regard
to the work of extension, that negotiations
were now pending for the extension of the
road into the city of Albany by the lease
or purchase of the bridge of the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western Railway. or the
construction of new one, and that the
extension west of Albany will be COM
menced as soon as the question of the
most practicable route can be determined.
possibly by the last of the present month.
Mr.. c. w. Wise, a civil engineer, is now
in charge of this matter, In conclusion,
Mr.. Morse assured us that, as the owner
ship and management of the road remain
ed unchanged, of course the policy of
that management was the same, and
would continue in the future. as in the
past, to be favorable to Brunswick.
In view of the above facts we feel au
thOrized to assure our people that we have
nothing to fear from the Brunswick and
Western, but, on the contrary, much to
hope for and expect. The work of extern
sion is to go forward, the remainder of the
gaps in the grand trunk line to the West
are now being constructed, or upon the
eve of commencement, and we see naught
discOuraging in this direction.-B Bruins
