JOB FOR BRANTLEY
Former Congressman to Repre-
sent 100 Systems of the South,
viii Keep Atlanta Offices.

Former Congressman William G.
Brantley, of Atlanta, has been ap-
pointed as one of three men to rep
resent the railroads of the United
States before the Interstate Com
morce Commission, according to in
formation that has come to Atlanta.
Mr.. Brantley will represent the roads
of the Southeast territory, compris-
ing 100 systems south of the Mason
and Dixon line. The other two men
will represent the railroads of the
Eastern and Western States.
The details of the appointment and
the salary connected with the posi-
ton have not been given out. 1t is
generally understood. however, that
the Western representative of the
railroads has signed a fiveyear con-
tract at an annual salary Of about
$50, 900. 1t is supposed that the con-
tracts of Mr.. Brantley and the East
ern representative are virtually the
same.
1t is probable that Mr.. Brantley's
work, for at least the first five years
will be to represent the roads in an
advisory capacity during the finding
of a physical valuation of the rail-
roads of the United States. which the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
now Undertaking. 1t is estimated that
the commission will pass on $4,000, q
3 Il
and the valuation arrived at will be
the basis for future taxation and rate
making.
Mr.. Brantley will soon open Of
fees in Washington to facilitate the
handling of his work, though he will
retain his offices in Atlanta and spend
a portion of his time here.
