NOTHING To Be
DONE THISSESS|ON


Atlanta, Aug. 6.-Nothing will be
done at the present session of the
legislature in regard to terminals ut
Chattanooga. The committee, which
was appointed to make report, has
decided that because of the PARTISAN
ship the entire matter be postponed
and left to a future legislature to d.
eide
The majority of the house commit
tee ON the affairs of the w & A., rail
road in its recommendation, states
that it would not recommend the
purchase of the Latimer- Vinson, Wat
kins tract because the governor stat
ed in his essage that he would veto
bin providing for the purchase ami
also that there were no funds in the
treasury with which to purchase the
land.
In speaking of the H. Clay Evans
tract which Governor Brown recon-
mended be purchased, the committee
states plainly that it cannot recon-
mend it for the terminals, as ii car
ries considerable in level. is too low
and is unavailable because it is en-
off by the rigat Of way Of another
! road.
1t further states that the present
terminals are inadquate and that un-
less the state purchases some tract
outside of Chattanooga, in the near
future, when the present lease ex-
pires. the road viii be at a great dis
advantage.
The sum and substance Of the rt.
port is that the legislature leave the
matter where it now stands for an
other future legislature. so that the
matter may not be handled in a par
tisan manner
A minority report. which was sur
mitted by Representative Hail. stated
that Governor Brown acted upon the
advice cf the attorney general wher
he failed to purchase the Latino.
Vinson-Watkins property 1t stated
too, that this failure had in no way
injured the state SO far as the future
purchase of TERMINAL property is con,
cerned.

olution providing for the appointment
