The Central Bailroad of New Jersey has
been restored to its former officers and
directors, the Reading obeying the decision
Of Chancellor McGill, recently given at
Tranton, and from which they will take an
appeal In spite of this the Reading and
Jersey Central roads will continue to be
operated in harmony with each other.
Il is reported in Philadelphia financial
circles that the New Y ork and New England
Railroad Company has made deal which
will surpass even the great Reading Lehigh
Valley-Jersey Central combination. The
story goes that New York and New Eng
land will get control of a number Of roads
or that 1t will itself pass to the control OF an
other large corporation. According to the
New YORK Evening Post there are indica-
tions that Drexel. Morgan & Co. and Read
ing are interested.

The boycott of the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad has been declared OFF by
the Southern Passenger Association, Here
after all lines in the association will give
that road ticket representation.
Although the lessees Of the Western and
Atlantic railroad have frequently promised
to locate all of the principal officers of that
road within the state of Georgia, in accord
ance with their contract with the state,
they have 80 far failed to comply with their
promises The lease contract made be-
tween the Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis railway is being discussed a great
deal by merchants in the city. Some time
ago the lessees moved q portion of the
Atlanta shops of the road from Atlanta to
Nashville and were preparing to move the
remaining portion when the attention OF the
public was called to the fact by the Atlanta
Journal. This caused SO much Indignation
that the officials OF the company
we're compelled TO declare pub
licly their intention of COM
| plying with the contract In the future.
They stated that arrangements were being
| tuhuo 70 enAhTSe bno SHOPS IN Atl80Sa ana
some work has besn done on their round
house, but it has amounted TO very little.
A number Of their old and trusted employees
were discharged when the shops were re-
moved TO Nashville. The officials stated
that most Of these employees would be given
work within ninety days, but so far not
| one-half OF them have been employed. It is
now stated that the lessees Of the road
| propose 10 move tho claim office, now
| located In Atlanta, to Nashville, and conr
| solidate it with the Office Of the claim de-
| partment Of the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis road. 1t also appears that
the executive officers of the road are not
| located in Atlanta A president, general
manager and assistant general manager
direct the affairs of the company from
| Nashville. This, 1t is said, is a direct viola-
ton OF the lease contract, and the matter
will probably be reported to Gov. Northen.
The governor has the right under the lease
contract 30 declare the lease void and take
possession of the road II the contract Ia VIC
lated in any way by the lessees.
