RAILROAD WARS
WITH VALDOSTA
To GET AVENUE
Atlantic Coast Line Claims Own
ership Of ThOroughfare Which
City Wants to Pave.

VALDOSTA, July 5-The acute
stage has been reached in a row be-
tween the Mayor and Council of VAL
dosta and the Atlantic Coast Line,
involving the ownership of Savannah
Avenue.
The trouble was precipitated when
the city recently decided to pave the
avenue, with the intention, of course,
that the railroad company should pay
its portion Of the paving assessment
The railroad company objected and
the paving was held up, awaiting an
adjustment of the differences. The
railroad company claims that It has
been unfairly treated by the city, in
that the brick to pave the avenue,
which is contends belongs to 1t, and
which parallels its tracks through the
city. was shipped over a rival road.
After the brick had been stacked in
long lines along the avenue. the Coast
Line notified the City Council that
Savannah Avenue belonged TO It, and
the company had decided that it
didn't want TO pave it's property. Su-
perintendent r. A McCranie. of the
Atlantic Coast Line. attended the
meeting of the City Council yester-
day. presenting his company's con-
tentions. Neither side would recede
from its position, and nothing affect
ing the ownership Of the avenue was
done.
superintendent McCranie sought to
obtain from the Council admissions in
writing that the railroad company
owns the avenue, and that the pro-
posed paving will not affect it's own
ership. The Mayor and Council re-
fused to make any such admissions
and notified Mr.. McCrante that If the
city paved the avenue II would be
done on the same basis as other paw
ing. leaving the question Of owner
ship to be settled in the courts II
necessary.
The sidewalks OF the Patterson Ho-
tel and those fronting the many
splendid homes on the avenue, II is
claimed by the railroad company, are
laid on it's land.
Ownership of the strip $50 feet
wide through the heart of the city,
is claimed by the railroad company
through purchase in 1859. II has been
used as a street for so years. There
has never been any effort to close
the street, but the railroad company
is Jealous of its rights to lay side
tracks along the avenue.

MANAGER TOO
EXTRAVAGANT.
SAYS BRINSON
Builder and Chief Stakeholder of
Railroad Wants to Gust New
York Official.

SAVANNAH. July 5.-Because IT Is
costing nearly $4,000 a month more
to operate the Brinson Railroad IN
der the management Of Richard Nor
gan, representing the interests OF
James Imbrie, the New York finan-
cier, than under the old regime,
George NJ. BrinsOn, president of the
road and the man who built it. is
making every effort to Dust Morgan
and regain personal control of the
porperty.
Gmbrie, who has sold many securf-
ties for the road with the understand
ing that he was to have a voice in
naming the manager of the property,
desires to keep Morgan and continue
his policies.
A conference between the conflict
ing interests has been on for the last
three days in an effort to arrive at
some settlement.
Brtnson contends that if the pres
ent policy goes on, it means bank
ruptcy or a receiVership. During the
four months that Morgan has been in
charge the operating expenses have
increased something like $4,000, as
compared to the same four months Of
1912.
While Brinson is understood to
have much of his stock in the road
hypOthecated, it is equally true that
the notes which this stock was used
to protect will not be due until the
fail of 1914, and he has until tina.
time to retain control of affairs.
