THE PLANT MONUMENT.

The late Henry B. Plant no doubt in
tended the great railway and steamship
property which bears his name to be
a monument to his memory His will
showed that. The property was not to
be divided until a son of a grandson,
who is now child, was born and came
of age. Had the will been valid the
time of the division might have been
delayed half, perhaps three quarters,
of a century. The country through
which the various lines of the Plant
System pass is developing rapidly. BY
the time the division was to have been
made the value of the property might
have been hundreds of millions of dol
lars. 1t would have been a monument
memory TO be remembered for gener-
ations. +
We do not know the terms on which
the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway has been sold to the Atlantic
Coast Line Company. 1t may be that
the properties are to be so kept togeth-
er that they will continue TO bear the
name of Mr.. Plant, but it is doubtful if
they will The Savannah, Florida and
Western has been sold outright, and
thar corporation comprises pretty
nearly all of what is known as the
Plant System. The other lines of the
system are to be controlled by the At
lantic Coast Line, and doubtless will
be sold to that line in the course of
time. 1t would be but natural that
they should. Having bought the prop
critics there is no reason for doubling
that the purchasing corporation will
