Of the two respective branches of the city
council, this morning had an interview
with President Finley of the Southern
railway in Washington and took up the
matter of the erection Of q coal chute
from the cars of the company to the city
gas plant. The city officials desire to
have the railway company pay a part of
the construction cost.
Under existing conditions the city has
to wheel the coal in barrows from the
cars to the plant. BY the erection of a
chute the coal could be turned from the
cars directly into the gas works and this
would save a great amount of labor.
