COL. FRY TALKS BUSINESS.
THE ATLANTA AND SAVANNAH
- ROAD TO BE BUILT.


The Protector of the Atlantic and
Great Western Says There is no
Change in the Status of His Enter
prise and None Is Contemplated
He Says that the Road Will Not
Only be Built, but VIII be Built
| Right Away.
Col George t. Fry. having noted the re-
cent Atlanta dispatch in the MORNING
| News that he had sold the franchise to Col.
E. G. Maohsn. and at 5000, which was
alleged to be at a profit TO Col. Fry, the
latter, in a very earnest letter to an inquiry
of MORNING NEWS reporter, denies both
statements.
Col Fry says that there is no truth what
ever in the rumor that the Atlantic, Allan
ia and Great Western railroad, or its
charter and franchises have been sold to E.
c. Machen for Alexander Brown & Co., or
to anybody else, and he says that Col.
Machen has no connection with the enter
prise and never had.
NO CHANGE IN THE ORGANIZATION.
There has been no change in the organi-
cation or status of my enterprise, aud none
is contemplated. American and European
capitalists have agreed to furnish the money
to build aud equip the enterprise. THIS
morning received a telegram from New
York saying that an engineer representing
these capitalists will leave New York for
Atlanta to enter upon a revision and verih-
cation of the surveys, maps. profiles and
estimates that have already been made
This New York engineer will be in Atlanta
Monday morning and enter upon his work.
$3.50, 200 ALREADY SPENT.
"The money spent on the road up to
date,n Col Fry said amounts to more
than thirty times $4,000. The property has
never been offered for sale at any price to
anybody, and will not be. 1t is my baby,
and intend to rear it to full manhood my
self, or with my own hand to strangle it."
Referring to what Col. Fry SAYS was an
absurd rumor" of the sale of the Atlantic,
Atlanta and Great Western, he says that
he can account for it only on the ground
that about two weeks ago Col. Machen
called at his Office, and during the converse
tion the only thing that passed between
them on the subject of buying or selling a
railroad was an inquiry made upon the au-
thority of Col. Fry's associates in the At
lantic, Atlanta and Great Western, of Col.
Machen, II he could sell or procure a ma
jority of the stock of the Coving;on and
Macon, to DO bought by the Atlantic, At
lanta and Great Western, and if SO at what
price, and that Mr.. Machen promised at
the time to ascertain.
WILL BE BUILT AT ONCE.
In conclusion Col Fry says that the At
lantic, Atlanta and Great Western will not
only be built but twill be built right away,
and have in my Office ample evidence to
prove 1t to any one WAC has sufficient in
terest TO come and see. The road will be
the base line or foundation Of a vast indie
panda0t syktam Of railroads In thi 70
bringing in connection more than 1900
miles Of new and Independents railroads,
reaching every city, town and important
shipping point IN Georgia, and the iron,

Alderman Falligant, chairman of the

ceived yesterday the report of Rudolph
Herring, civil and sanitary engineer, upon
the house drainage, or ,as Mr. Herring puts it.
the Sewage disposaln of Savannah. The
report is voluminous and has not vet
been studied by the chairman of the com
mittee, who will submit it at an early dav
to the council
Mr.. Hering's report was accompanied bv
letter to Alderman FaIligant. and from Il
extracts which follow are taken showing
that an outfall in the Savannah river ia
recommended
Mr.. Herring says, in answer to suggestions
made In preyiofs letter by DR.. Failigant:
II trust every point you mentioned has
been covered and that the report and plans
will give you clear idea of what will be
needed. was very much pleased tc see
now many OF your suggestions were in
accordance with engineering requirements,
and have endeavored to give you credit
for them, and also to Col. W. j. VIM.
whose knowledge of engineering, of course,
enabled him to appreciate technical diff
culties and to foresee very nearly the emit. 9
requirements Of the work.
H. PROCEDURE was 10 1lESL Bk6UCn out a
plan independently, and then to compare
with those that had been proposed before,
and to embody the good features of all of
them in the one which is herewith sub
mltted
81 am very glad that my Investigations
as to the outfall in the Savannah river
showed so emphatically the superiority of a
plan Of discnarging the sewage into it
rather than at any other point that has
been proposed. The discharge of the
| sewage below the level of low
water will be very satisfactory, even
| at the nearest point which was
| surveyed. l have made approximate esti-
mates of cost in order to determine the
advantages Of the different lines and
| arrangements, but they are not sufficiently
| accurate to be embodied in the report, ex-
cepting the estimate for the proposed out
fall sewer. Col. VIM is best able to make
| these estimates, as he is thoroughly familiar
| with the local conditions, and will have to
make some special examinations in the way
of depths of existing sewers before reliable
estimates can be made"
