RAILROAD HAS BEST
 OF CHATTANOOGA N. c. & St. l.. Has Lease on Property Wanted By City VALUED AT S6,OOO,OOO Extensive Improvements Being Made By New Durham Coal and Iron
 Go. at Hoddy Practically
 Completed
VALUED AT S6,OOO,OOO

Chattanooga, January 23.-(Speeial.) )-Ac- cording to the provisions of an ordinance passed by the city council of Chatta- nooga more than decade ago, during the regime of II. Clay Evans as mayor. the Western and Atlantic railway or rather it.; lessor, the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis, has a stronger grip upon the six acres of land in the very heart of this city than was at first supposed.
 The tract in question. which is absolute Iy blocking the development of the most valuabls property within the corporation
 limits. Is valued at $6,Oo0oO0, according to the estimate of C. F. James the million aire capitalist of the city, who recently attempted to lease 1t from the state Of Georgia, to which ir, as well as the Vest ern and Atlantic railway. belongs.
 During the past five years the city of Chattanooga has strlven in vain to open up Broad street, second only to Mar ket as a business thoroughfare, through the length or the property. The failure of the city to accomplish this was a severe blow to the development of the city prop erty, but to aggravate matters if has been discovered that according to the lease In question the city cannot even condemn the right of way for intersecting streets, three of which now demand the continuity for bfdden by the railroads possessions.
 The extensive Improvements being made by the New Durham Coal and Iron com- pany, Chattanooga's 8 $10OO0,0O0 corporation, at Hoddy, Tenn, at a total cost of more than S50.000, are now practically completed and will be placed in use before the first of the month The additions to the plant at that point consist of a new coal crush CT. coal washer, coal tippler and sepa- rator. New ovens have also been con structea.
 Whether or not Chattanooga is to have a new interurban system whose construc- tion will necessitate the expenditure of s5O00000 within a period of five years, now rests with the city commissioners. If this body grants the franchises asked by c. E. James and associates the work will begin immediately; otherwise the local capitalists state that not a sod will be moved. The city council insists that the new traction company use the tracks of the Chattanooga Railways and Light com pany within the corporation limits, stat ing that the streets are not wide enough for an additional track. The new pro- motors positively refuse to do this, how ever, stating that 1t would be absolute ly impossible to float their bonds without local terminals in their possession.
