stockholders opposed to n BELT Line
Around Atlanta.
The Atlanta and West Point Railroad
has been enjoined from building a belt line
from point near East Point, on the Cen
trial railway, through the southern part of
Fulton county to the right of way of the
Georgia railroad near Reynoldstown.
The injunction is brought by some of the
stockholders of the road, who claim that
the proposed belt line is unnecessary: that
1t will lessen the value of the debentures
and stock of the Atlanta and West Point
road 20 use the surplus in such way,
and that 1t could benefit no road unless
il Is the Georgia or the Louisville and
Nashville road, which leases the Georgia.
Ii is stated that the cost of the new belt
line would be from $4,000 TO $50, 900 per
mile.
The opposition to the building of the road
claims that IL is a scheme of Thomas x
Scott and Milton H. Smith. Vice President
Egan of the Central, is opposed to the
new line, and has submitted an affidavit
IN which he tells some interesting things
about the meetings of the stockholders
and directors of the Atlanta and West
Point. President Conner of the Central,
who owns go shares of Atlanta and West
Point stock, approves Mr.. Egan's opinion
as 10 the inadvisability of building the
belt.

Without regard to the comfort Of those
who are compelled to use the lire or walk
the company has run open cars unprotect-
ed in any way except by the roof during
all sorts of weather. Yesterday. with
mercury near the freezing point, was no
exception.
On account of the danger from exposure
in open cars, many people have been com
PEELED to abandon the Habersham street
line altogether
There is a general disregard for the
comfort Of passengers, not only on the
cold weather. In most of the car doors
are change slides through which con-
ductors are supposed to collect the fares
OF passengers standing on the
platform. Instead Of using the
slides even in the stormiest and
coolest weather conductors open the front
doors and keep them open while they coll

The Income of the Louisa Porter
Home Insufficient.


The board Of managers of the Louisa
Porter Home have decided to close the
home temporarily, pending time when
they VII be able to resume its charitable
mission under more favorable auspices.
This decision Is due to financial reasons.
The funds of the institution having been
invested in Central Railroad debentures,
for which second income bonds Of the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway were given in ex-
change at the Gtne of the reorganization
of the Central, no longer return a sufficient
income. taken in connection with the do
nations of a large list of subscribers, to
properly conduct the institution. The la
dies who have The institution in charge
do not care 10 run in debt, and they think
the more advisable plan to temporarily
suspend until there is an Improvement IN
their finances. They have valuable prop
erty at Charlton and Drayton streets,
which they may dispose of should desir-
able offer be made and seek a cheaper To-
cation, where a larger part Of the principal
can be invested, so as to add 10 the m
come of the institution. The $4,000 of sec
ond income bonds, which represent the in
vestment of the Home, now have mar
ket value of ouly about $1,SC0. 1t is hoped
that there will be an increase in the value
of these securities, in which case they
might be disposed Of and the sum re-
ceived placed in some investment which
would yield a steady income and with the
surplus in hand after disposing of the
present property and securing a cheaper
location, afford a sufIiciest sum to guaran-

THE BANKIAG SITUATION.
Increase in Liabilities Makes Lit
tie Change in the Total Reserves.

tie Change in the Total Reserves.
New York. Dec 1O.-The Flnancier says:
"The statement of the New York clearing
house banks for the week ending Dec. 10,
indicates an expansion of 1861, 900 in loans,
and S7,262, 200 in deposits. The increase in
liabilities, however, as shown in the latter
item, makes but little change in the total
of the banks reserve, the decrease
amounting to about one-third of $1,000 900.
It is evident that the loans have gone
10 swell banking credits and incidentally
deposits, the gain In cash partly making
up for the discrepancy between the two
items. The net increase in cash, in fact,
very nearly supplied the added reserve re-
quirement and the statement is favorable
from a banking standpoint, in that use
has been found for all the money which
came into the institution lasi week.
AS an exemplihcation of the theory Of
banking operation outlined by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury in his annual report
last week, the current exhibit of the banks
is peculiarly to the point In detail the
statement presents nothing that throws
light ON the current situation. The expan-
sion In loans can be traced to three or four
Of the larger banks, and gains in deposits
have been limited for the most part to
about the same number. II is evident that
the loan increase has been due to sterling
investments and collateral buying. al
though there is a steady absorption Of
commercial paper.
Currency from the interior is moving this
way as is natural at this season. on the
other hand the banks are losing to the
treasury about as much as they gain. The
net increase of $l,46O90O in cash for the
week therefore. was unexpected. The
seeming ability of the banks to extend
their operations in proportion to the excess
cash received. is an argument against low
or rates even if it does not forecast any
degree Of firmness.
