Savannah. ca. November 22-(spe.
President John III. Egan. Of the
Central Of Georgia railway, has ten
dcred his resignation ana tomorrow he
viii leave for New York on q two weeks
leave OF absence.
Thereafter his connection with the
Central win terminate.
This action Of Mr., Egan will come as
a tremendous surprise Wherever the
Central system touches there Will be re-
greet at his action
At Tire last annual meeting Of the Gem
rral railway an announcement was au-
thOrized that the breach that had existed
between President Egan and Major j.
i. Hanson OF Macon, chairman of the
board, had been healed and that all the
differences that had obtained between
the TWO officials had been adjusted For
this reason too, the surprise in the an
nouncemcnt Of Nj. Egans resignation
Will be The greater.
1t has long been known that the rela-
tons between President Fgan and Ma
jor Hanson were not pleasant officially.
Major Hanson was the stronger too,
having the power Of controlling influence
in the property behind him. He repre-
SCENTS those interests Of the board. and
as simple director his power was rec
osnizcd When he became chairman OF
the board it was all the moro pro-
nouneed.
Some time ago, when T. IT, Hinton,
trafic manager OF the Central, resigned,
his action was Cue TO Major Hanson,
