CostAndValue ofthe State Road.

The road extends from Atlanta to Chattanooga a dis
tance 1857 miles 1t has adequate terminals IN both
cities 1t trunk line having Improbable branches
The amount appropriated out of the treasury OF The
State prior the Civil War; for the building OF the road
Twas $325O00O In addition to this there expended on
CONSTRUCTION and equipment to the year 1888 the sum
|o out of earnings. The total cost OF the
road up to that time was therefore $557O88O not nclud
ling the of EARNINGS applied to construction
for the years 1912 to 847 which the data is not
valuable During the years from 1854 to 1851 there was
paid into the Treasury Of the State out of earnings the
sum of $1,708,5OO
The rental being now received pays per cent on a
valuation of So 100000 Should the net income for the
year ended May st 1918 be capitalized on basis OF
per cent it would produce value of nearly $2OOOO0OO
The questions calling for consideration are
Shall the road be again leased? If shall it be for
a long term short term?
What is the fair rental value or rate OF return that
the State should receive from the property?
Should the road BE- extended either to the sea or to
the Tennessee river below Chattanooga?
Would it be in the interest of the public for the State
Ito again operate the road? If should it be operated as
lit now stands or should it be extended?

LONDON, March 81 1913.
A parliamentary sports contest of an
entirely novel description, which will I'M
doubtedly arouse interest of the keenest
character. has been arranged between
Handel Booth NJ. p. for Pontefrat. and
Percy Illingworth. chief liberal whip and
NJ. p. for Shipley.
Pigeon flying is wonderfully popular
in both districts, and Handel Booth chal-
lenged Mr.. Illingworth for race be-
tween birds from the two constituencies.
Mr.. Illingworth. keen pigeon fancier,
promptly accepted, and the general ar
rangements have already been made.
Sixty birds from each loft are to be re-
leased in Palace Yard. and prizes of So,
$50 and SD will be offered for those first
home, a time allowance being made for
the difference in the distances to the
two places. The contest is to take place
in July.
Great enthusiasm in the event has been
reused among the workingmen of the two
divisions, and birds are already being
prepared.

Counting a Big Task.
The counting of the money proved to
be a big task, as most of the returns were
made in dimes and nickels. Shortly after
O'Clock the money began to arrive at
the scout Sheadquarters, and it was not
until nearly midnight that the several
packs of coins were counted. The work
was done by fifteen or more scoutmasters
and assistant scouthmasters under the
supervision of Assistant Scout Commits
sioner Frank c. Wood.
The first returns totaled were those of
the district which included the outlying
sections of the city. This district. tag
