which is contemplated. 1t charges that
the suit has for its object the defeat OF
the erection of another electric light plant

tension Of other street railway systems

The answer admits that the Atlanta

Company, did own and operate lines of
street railways described in the court pro-
ceedinRs, but it denies that these lines
We're in any way competitive and that any
consolidation of the street roads to De
catur would be a monopoly, since the
Georgia Railroad operates steam sub
urban system. 1t also shows that the
same conditions apply TO the transporta-
ton of passengers 10 Fort Mcpherson, be
cause of the operation of suburban trains
by the Atlanta and West Point and Cen
tral of Georgia Railways.
1t is declared by the trust company that
no iessening of competition has been Ct
fected az any point, and that the lettering
of the public service would result At the
same time it is denied that the two street
railway companies are owned by the same
parties Though Ernest Woodruff is pres
ident of both, the stockholders and direct
ors are different This, il is contended,

he proposes to give the city three fourths
of all earnings on the stock of his com,
pany in excess of 6 per cent and to allow
the city TO buy the whole system upon
twelve months notice by paying par for
