Assistant United States Attorney Camp
does not regard with any favor the
proposition made yesterday by the Central

tender rs "a good business proposition for
the Central, but Il will not be consider

new prison exclusive Of other roads, will
bring them enough revenue 10 more than
pay for the site" said Mr.. Camp.
THE government cannot very well bind
Itself 10 one railroad. Besides the city Of
Atlanta promised 10 furnish "a site free,
