Merger win Control 81 ,a4o Miles.

Merger VIII Control 81 ,349 Miles.
ATLANTA, Ga, April PIT is report
ed that the Louisville & Nashville system
has passed into the hands of the South
ern railway. 1t will leave but two lines
of railroad in the Southeastern states
the Southern and the Seaboard Air Line
Although it has not been officially an
nounced, it is believed here that the At
lantic Coast line and Plant system will
soon come under the control of the
Southern railway and that the culmina-
ton of the deal Will be a Community
of interest
The roads controlled by the Louisville
& Nashville are the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga & St. Louis, the Western & At
lantic, the Atlanta, Knoxville and North
ern, the Georgia railway and several
smaller lines in Alabama. Including the
mileage of both the main lines and the
recently acquired railroads, the number
of miles included in the new merger un-
der control of the Southern aggregates
81, ,349
An interesting feature of the situation
is the part Georgia may play in the ru-
mored combination The state owns the
Western & Atlantic, which runs from
Atlanta to Chattanooga, and is leased
by the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Lou
is. The Southern is already operating a
tiilS bSlWCSIl ll1SS6 CltlGS. anu the central
of Georgia, which is under the control
of the Southern, has road from Chat
tanooga to Griffin, Ga.
Georgia Governor Threatening.
The effect of the purchase of the Louis
vile & Nashville by the Southern is
saiG by some TO mean that at the ex-
piration of the present lease of the state
road the state road VIII be completely
bottled u. a1ering it merely a local
line betwce atlanta and Chattanooga.
When asked mis- opinion on the matter.
Gov Candier said:
II don't think there is any danger Of
the roads bottling up the state road
While railroad combinations are yery
powerful, they cannot cope with the
state of Georgia, for if such attempts
were made the result would be such
drastic legislation in Georgia that the
railroads would have to pay out more
money than they could make on the
transaction.
The railroads may attempt to depre-
ciate the value of the state road in order
to get the state to sell 1t at a low price.
but such an effort would also fail The
people Of Georgia will protect their in
terests in the matter, and nobody need
have any fear on that score"
The Atlanta & West and the Western
of Alabama, constituting a line from
Atlanta to Selma. Ala, will come under
the supposed merger. as both are con
trolled indirectly by the Southern and
Louisville & Nashville
