Barr, Vice President and General Man ager of the Seaboard Air Line. had failed to reach an agreement looking to joins use of the Birmingham Belt Line Rail- road.

There is belief, however. that the Seaboard Is not to be delayed any in getting into Birnilng- ham. Deeds were filed today showing fe- cent purchases m lde by the Seabodrd Ar Line in Birmingham Of property which will be used as terminal facilities, for de- pot purposes ard fer switching.
