THE STATE ROAD LEssEES WANT

Advanced in Favor of the Petition

than Sos, 900 per month, which is not sufi-
cient 20 pay for the running Of the trains.
The revenue from this source he says is less
than 90 cents per mile.
A STATEMENT.
The petition concludes with this statement
in regard to the roads earnings and the
improvement in its equipment contemplated
by the new lessees:
''In view Of the increased rental charged
by the state, and that the passenger earn
ings are less than one-third Of the general
average Of the railways of the United
States, and the rate less than that charged
by other first-class roads in Georgia, and that
this road has or will furnish more modern
equipments with an increased number of
cars upon the trains TO accommodate the
different classes Of travel, and will have to
expend a very large sum Of money in
placing the tracks, buildings and bridges in
hrst-class order, which will preclude the
possibility of any net revenue from that
road for years to come, it is hoped this
application will receive your favorable
consideration"
THE CENTRAL CITED.
The Central road was cited by the COM
mission to show cause why circular Ill, in
regard TO joint rates, should not be carried
into effect
