F. 0. { B. EXTENSION
Apparently Key to the Americas
TO.The-Sea Route.
INTERESTED.

The following news item from
Albany is Of unusual interest to
the local readers of The Enterprise:
Albany, Ga, March 1. Especially
GA delegation of Albany business
men, headed by Mayor Tiff, went
over to Ashburn to participate in
in meeting to be held in the in
terest of the proposed and very
probable extension of the F., 0. &
B. railroad, now nearly into Ash
burn from the east, to point
west of that city.
"Albany appears to be favored
for the objective point of the roads
extension, but Americas is making
a strong pull for the line, and will
also have a delegation at Ashburn.
An interesting feature Of the stu
alton is the fact that the right OF
way of the old Brisbane road, so
called for the man who promoted
it forty years ago, is fully graded
a considerable part of the distance
which the new road would take in
coming to Albany from Ashburn.
The road was abandoned after be-
ing made ready to receive the rails,
and the right of way has never
been utilized"
The Brisbane grade referred to
passes through this city and the
F., o. & B. headquarters arc here,
and best of all, Fitzgerald never
lets opportunities of this kind pass
unimproved. We got the habit
several years ago of taking in all
the lines headed this way and
right now we are after three new
railroad propositions. The AL
bany or Americas to the Sea line,
the Jacksonville to Atlanta road
and the Fitzgerald and DELLA Elec-
trio line.
They are all good propositions
and will open up the best timber
sections in South Georgia, and
when the timber is gone the most
productive and healthful agricul-
tural section in the South will not
have any too much railroading.
We have not seen President Nc
Fadden of the F., o. 4 B., but he
IS alert to the interests of the road
and Fitzgerald's advancement.
