new RAILROADS
IN THE SOUTH
Texas, Alabama, Mississippi and Ten
nessee Are To Have Num-
Der Of New Lines

One of the most important projects
for the building of new railways and
extensions in the South within the
coming year (and extensive work
along this line is being planned) is
the building of an extension to New
Orleans by the recognized Mobile,
jackson and Kansas City road, which
is now known as the New Orleans.
Mobile and Chicago. This extension.
II built, will mean a good deal to New
Orleans. as the northern line OF tn.
road will probably run north, to the
Ohio river via Jackson. Tenn. and
there form connections with Chicago.
The greater part of the road traver-
ses Mississippi and taps rich tim
Der territory, so that, with New Or.
leans as gulf outlet, considerable ad.
vantage should accrue to the Crescent
City.
Judging from articles of incorpora-
tion and notices Of extensions planned
by various roads which have been
filed, the coming year promises to be
big one in railway development in
the South and Southwest. At least
one dozen new roads have been incor-
porated, which means that from $500
to 5000 miles of track is to be laid.
Several of the lines are to stretch
across Alabama, Mississippi and Ten
nessee while a large portion of the
proposed mileage will be built in Tex
as.
The more tolerant attitude of the
Texas legislature toward the railroads
is largely responsible for the proposed
increased mileage, as heretofore, ow-
ing TO the rigid attitude of enmity
which the railroads felt the Texas law
m7lers maintained toward them, it
has been practically impossible to en-
list capital for transportation projects.
Now, however, conditions are said to
have changed and capital for con-
etruct'on work and the building of
now lines and systems is easily at
toiuable.
N.T7iseippi also looms to the fore
