All the commercial cities on the Atlantic

vantage from such a water route by the
facilitation OF trade with the west, Central

To the casual observer IL might appear
that New Orleans would reap the chief
advantage of such route by reason Of
proximity, and that Savannsh's sdvan-
tagos would be but little increased
By reference to the map, Col Gordon

OF importance on long haul
THE ADVANTAGE TO SAVANNAH.
New Orleans, of course, Col Gordon said
would command the gulf. but Savannah, as
the chief port Of the southeast, would enjoy
tremendous advantage.
By referring to the map it will
be Been that by reason of the
geographical conformation plumb
line dropped from Savannah would
fall directly along the western coast Of
South America. The advantages to trade
by reason Of this are obvious. Savannah
would have an immediate market for her
lumber, her naval stores and all the other
products of her territory. The advantages
accruing to Savannah and the southeast by
reason Of such water course are 30 ap-
parent III fact as to hardly require discus

The Kentucky court Of appeals recently
held that. while a railroad company may be
enJolned from purposely stopping. switch

as that is not Legitimate use Of the street, a
court has no power TO prescribe, as con-
dltlon precedent Of the occupation and use
of public street by railroad company
under legislative authority, the number of
freight trains that may pass over its road.
The court said that whenever any person
has been hindered or obstructed by the I'M
reasonable use by the company of its road,
the remedy may bo afforded, il applied for,
but that hard condition cannot be put
upon the business Of the company in autci-
