WOULD HELP SAVANNAH.
M sorrow Would BE Caused by the
l.. & n. Getting SeabOard.


The denial of President John Shelton
vviriams of the Seaboard Air Line of the
acouisition of a controlling interest in that
system by the Louisville and Nashville
should set speculation upon the question
% the deal at rest. In Savannah the an
ponncement by Mr. Williams that there
+. nothing in the report is accepted as
decisive, but there are many who would
have been better pleased had the word
from the president been confirmation in
stead of denial.
While there is no gainsaying the popu-
Iaritv of the Seaboard with Savannahians,
II is vet true that they would like to see
some such great Western system as the
Huntsville and Nashville acquire line
into Savannah. The wish is but natural,
as such an acquisition by great Western
railway would mean the greater develop
ment and upbuiiding of the port.
The Seaboard has done much for Sa-
vannah, and Savannahians would like to
see it acquire the Louisville and Nash
Vile rather than to have the Louisville
and Nashville acquire the Seaboard. If,
however, the Seabosrd should be the
acquired property, it's Savannah friends
would only wish that a price thoroughly
satisfactory to Mr.. Williams and his as
sociates might be received.
II is believed the Louisville and Nash
Vile would make Savannah a much
greater port than it is, were it to ac-
ouire the Seaboard Air Line, or any 9TH
er road leading into the city. Particu-
arly is this true, were 1t to get the
seaboard, for that line has such splendid
terminals that there would be nothing
for the Louisville and Nashville to do but
furnish the heavy business they are ca
pacitated to receive.
Pensacola is the port now favored by
the Louisville and Nashville. but the ter
minal facilities OF the line there are not
to be compared with those of the Sea-
board at Savannah. Grain from the great
grain producing lands of the West, pig
iron from the Alabama and Tennessee
mines, cotton and naval stores are car
ried by the Louisville and Nashville to
Pensacola, but they would be diverted to
Savannah were this a port of the Louis
vile and Nashville. The route would be
via Montgomery, where the Louisville and
Nashville and the Seaboard now connect.
Savannah has long felt the want of
grain shipments. Rice is the only grain
received here in quantities, and the COM
mercial interests of the port would be
greatly enhanced were some OF the bust
ness that reaches New Orleans, Calves
ton and Pensacola diverted to Savan-
nah Some time ago the Central Railroad
strove to make traffic arrangements with
connecting lines to the great grain coun-
try, but the efforts were not successful.
In the Louisville and Nashville sys-
tenn there are 1926 miles, With the more
than 1900 miles of the Seaboard added,
another giant in mileage would arise.
The Southern Railway has been making
such great strides in the acquisition
of mileage within the last few months
that the Louisville and Nashville must
feel that it must be reaching out If it
wants to keep pace with it's strong rival

The Gwinnett Street Grade Crossing
VIII Be Discussed.

The Gwinnett Street Grade Crossing
VIII Be Discussed.
The special committee of Council to con-
fer with officials of the Plant System and
the Savannah Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope Street Railway Company relative to
the adjustment of the grade crossing at
Gwinnett street has not yet had a meeting
with General Superintendent w. B. Dem
ham of the Plant System and General
Manager L. H. Mcintyre of the Savannah,
Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Company.
Mr.. Denham had been out of the city, but
returned yesterday, and it Is probable
that the conference will soon be held.
1t is the desire of the committee to tn
duce the railroad to abolish the grade
crossing for one that will send traffic
either below or above the Plant System
tracks, the cost of the change being de-
frayed by the railroads.
Alderman Dixon is chairman of the
committee. He has given his views in
the Morning News upon the matter of
the substitution of a less dangerous form
of crossing, but he expressed approval
yesterday of bill, the purport Of which
was shown him, that is about to be in
troduced in the Massachusetts, Legis-
T6ldSlN6 10 JnS Oh a
grade crossing. He said he thought it
no more than right that a municipal
corporation should, a as rule, defray a
small proportion of the cost of such
changes.
The bill, as reported by the legislative
Ways and Means Committee, will, IN
brief, provide:
That the street railway companies may
join with the cities in the petition for the
abolition of grade crossings.
That the street railway shall bear such
proportionate of the cost of the change
as the commissioners appointed by the
court may determine.
That the amount assessed upon the
street railways shall first be deducted
from the whole cost. and that the balance
shall be borne by the city, state and rail-
way company, according to the proper
ton already set by law.
This new BILL if accepted, will, for ex-
ample, arrange matters after this fash
ion If the cost of abolishing a crossing
Is s10o, goo, the commissioners shall be call
ed in to determine how much the street
railway should pay. If, for instance,
they should set that amount in this case
as $4,000. this would be deducted from
the sum total of $4,000, and the balance
of $4,000 would then be divided under the
old law, the city paying 10 per cent, the
state 25 per cent. and the railroad Go per
cent. of the same. ~!li
