Giving Western Connections to Atlanta
The Contracts Given.
Letters received in Atlanta state that
aC recent meeting of the Alabama I'M
provement Company new contract was
closed with Mr.. Robert Ii. Hervey, of
New York, for the immediate construc-
tlOn of the Sheffield and Birmingham rail-
road from Sheffield to Birmingham, or to
the Georgia Pacific road. The project
has already been referred TO in the NEWS
Dir. Hervey is now in New York making
arrangements Tor the immediate begin
ming of the work. His contract is that
the work shall be begun within thirty
days from Aug. 20. He has agreed to build
the road to point A. miles south Of the
Memphis and Charleston railroad by June
1S, 1886. From that point on to Birming-
ham, or to a connection with the Georgia
Pacific railroad, he is to build the road
continuously and as rapidly as he posi-
bly, can. In no event is the completion
of the entire road to be delayed beyond
Aug. 20, 1899.
The road will pass through a rich agri-
cultural country and through untold re-
sources Of coal and iron. Since the con-
tract has been closed with Mr.. Hervey
several companies have projected the
erection OF large furnaces along the line
OF the road.
The completion of the Sheffield and Biz
mlngham will give Atlanta a valuable
new connection with the west. and will
afford a shorter route to the Mississippi
river.
Shops for the new road will be at once
established at Sh field, and 1t is thought
the beginning of its construction within
the next few weeks viii cause big boom
in the new and ambitious city.
