MIR. A. Hess, the representative of the
English capitalists whom President Lin
derman hopes 10 interest in the savannah,
dublin atd Western Short Line Railroad
Company, viii make his report to the
syndicate TINS week.
Mr.. Hess came over from England a
little more than a month ago ana during
the past fortnight he has been looking
into the line. He spent some days
at this end OF the line making in
quiries about the resources of the country
along the route surveyed. Then he went
up through the State, stopping at Macon
and other points. He has been back IN
Savannah two or three days and has about
concluded his investigation.
Mr.. Hess is an extremely affabe gen
tleman, and TO all things appertainlng To
the new road is brilliant listener. W men
it comes TO expressing an opinion, though
on the road as an investment he IS per-
tectly silent. He remarked to NEWS
reporter Yesterday at the Screven House
that he has been asked for an expression
good many times.
Mr., Hess does not give the slightest IN
fimatIon OF what his report will be,
whether favorable or untavorabie. lie

lion bearing upOn the matter that he
could possibly get hold of.
The report will cover the sources OF
Middle Georgia's wealth and the resour-
ces OF the country from which the road
would obtain its revenues. 1t will also
have something to say about the effect OF
the Railroad Commission on the earnings
OF railroads in Georgia. Mr.. Hess has
made a careful study of the subject and
/, l,o, mil AAta fpn
whether the bonds of the road will be
taken bv the EngIish capitalists.

In January last the Rev. Alexander

tiOns was submitted, which showed that
the handsome sum of 81, 453 40 had been
