Chief Engineer Hardaway of the Savan-
nah, Americas and Montgomery railway
has been interviewed in Birmingham. This
is what he said: st may be considered a
fact that the Savannah, Americas and
Montgomery has an eye on Birmingham. OF
course, with the present traffic arrange
ments now existing between that road and
the central, whicn are very close, good
amount of Birmingham and North Ala
bama freight goes over the Savan-
nah, Americas and Montgomery to
Savannah, but our people in
tend to have line of their own
into the mineral region of Alabama in the
near future. No active steps have been
taken in that direction yet that l am at
liberty to speak of as the attention of the
construction department of the road is at
present devoted to the building of the ex-
tension to Montgomery All the surveys
on the Montgomery extension have been
made, terminal facilities purchased and the
contracts let three days ago. A new con-
struction company, formed to build she
road, have the contract, but am not at
liberty to say who is behind the company.
The Savannah, Americas andMoutgomery
is after freight from the mineral regions,
and will build in order to get it.
