Railroad Promises Prompt Re-
newal of Ties and Ballast
Found in Bad Order.

Corporation Commission. made an In
spection yesterday Of the Southern
Railway, between Richmond and

peth. superintendent OF the Southern
Railway: representatives OF its engi-
neering department and n committee
from the commuters association. which
has fled formal complaint In regard to
the condition OF the roadbed. Return
ing, the party took advantage OF the
bright day to walk over long street.-the s
OF track near Midlothian. Bon Air and
at Granite station. in Chesterfield Coun-
-. Judge Rhea said that he had every
reason To believe that conditions would
be improved at once. without the nee
essity of formal orders being issued
by tho commission.
Tho commuters association has made
serious complaints against the condi-
ton OF this line. While the rail is not
OF the heaviest grade. 1t Is said TO be
sufficient for this road. but large
number of ties were pointed out that
are decayed TO the core. and several
stretches OF road where ballast Is lack
ing.
Conditions were not as bad. Judge
Rhea said, as they were found to be
last year on the West Point division OF
the Southern. which has since been en-
tirely rebuilt with new heavy rail on
new ties. Citizens living at Bon Air
and other points who come into Rich
mond to business have formed an as
ISOLATION. the first object of which Is to
secure n safer and better protected
roadbed The second is to secure a
better train service for commuters
The morning train coming into Rich
mond. while II stops ut the various
points near Richmond, brings the
through sleeper from Birmingham and
Atlanta. 1t is frequently late. and
commuters consequently reach their
Offices at uncertain hours. AS soon
as the roadbed has been put In n safe
condition, they propose to ask for a
