With a formal petition filed Thursday
before the state railroad commission, the
Atlanta and. West Point railroad entered
upon the official procedure necessary for
authority to increase its capital stock
from 81, 232, 900 to s2,5O0.OO0.
Further delay win be occasioned by the
fact that there were some imperfections
In the petition, and the commission re-
turned it that it might be put in proper
form for consideration. The commission
will not order it's advertisement till 1t is
In that form.
Before reaching any decision in this
matter. the railroad commission will give
thorough consideration to every phase
of it. 1t has been stated by some of the
officials that double trackage and other
improvements are imminently necessary.
The plan contemplated by the petition
for stock increase would leave funds for
none of this Improvement
Under that plan, agreed upon at re-
cent meeting of the stockholders, the ad-
ditional stock will be sold to the present
stockholders at par though Atlanta and
West Point stock is said to be worth
between 100 and 40 on the market. The
proceeds of the sale will be used to re-.
tire outstanding debentures of the road.
