Reid, holders and owners of the en-
tire capital stock of the Fitzgerald, ,
OcmUlgee & Red Bluff Railway Com
pany, having recently been advised
by counsel of the provisions and re-
uuirements OF law contained i sec
ton 2166 of the civil code of Georgia,
of 1895, feel it their duty to report
the facts, which are as follows:
On Nov, 8, 1901, there was issued
to said The Fitzgerald, Ocmulgee &
Red Bluff Railway Company, under
the Great Seal of the State, Ger
tificate of Incorporation in the form
prescribed In section 2l61, of the Civ
il Code of Georgia, incorporating the
said Tue Fitzgerald Ocmulgee & Red
Bluff Railway Company with Capt.
tai Stock of Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars, 1920, 900 .00) as mentioned in
said Certificate, for the purpose of
constructing. equipping, maintaining
and operating a railroad from Fitz-
geraly in a northeasterly direction,
crossing the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
way Company at or near Queensland,
Wilcox Go Georgia, and continuing
across the Ocmulgee to Helena or
McRae, in the county of Telfair, said
state, and thence to Red Buff, Mont
gomery County, Georgia, distance
eff about fifty miles And thereafter
said comsany constructed, equipped
and put in operation thirteen miles
of said road extending from Fltzger"
aid in northeasterly direction,
crossing the Seaboard Air Line Rail-
way at or near Queensland, Wilcox
County, Georgia, and continuing
thence to the Ocmulgee River, but
on account of the fact that it was
found that it would cost very large
sum to bridge the Ocmulgee River,
and the Company was not possessed
of the requisite funds, the road was
never extended across the Ocmulgee
River Or beyond said river, ana at
the expiration of said two years said
Company had Demonstrated, equip
ped, nor was said Company operat
ing the road for as much as fifteen
miles, nor did said Company apply
for or obtain relief from a forfeiture
provided for in the aforesaid section
2l66 of the Code Of Georgia of 1895, or
obtain an extension of time for con-
structing, equipping and operating
fiftaen miles of road in accordance
with the Act OF the General Assembly
of the State of Georgia, approved
August II, 1903, amending said See
ton 2166 of the Code of Georgia of
1895, (Acts of 1908, pages "a, 35. 36).
Nor did said Company construct,
equip or operate fifteen miles of SAID
road within the two years additional
which might have been allowed had
been made therefor and
cause shown, nor has said Company
ever constructed or equipped or OPP
perated as much as fifteen miles of
said road, and there is not now con-
structed or equipped or in operation
as much as fifteen miles of said road,
and there has not been at any time.
The requirements of Section 2166
of the Code of Georgia aforesaid have
only recently come to the knowledge
of the said The Fitzgerald, Ocmulgee
