Government May End Rate Case
There is a possibility that the taking
over of the control Of the railroads by
the federal government may put an
end to the intrastate rate case which
has been in progress before the state
railroad commission of Georgia for
more than year, and in which the
commission has just set sweeping
tentative order for hearing January
%. Any interference with the pro-.
gram of the commission as to the rate
case, however, will come only under
a specific order from the director of,
railroads in Washington. Unless such
an order is received the commission
proposed to proceed with the case.
Chairman c.. M. Gambler of the COM
mission states that # is impossible to
tell what effect the federal control OF
railroads may have upon the rateacase,
but that there is the possibility of di-.
rectiona in the case from Washington,
The chairman said that he, could not
discuss the matter further than this.
statement.
1t il regarded as hardly probable
that the director will issue a specific
order unless the case is called direct
ly to his attention. The theory among
some railroad experts of Atlanta,
though, is that the government, since
1t has made a guarantee of profits to
the carriers, willtprefer to operate the
railroads on rates now current, where
suoa rates are reasonable and just,
rather than risk any change, in rates

UNCERTAIN.

AS part Of its work for the develop

Georgia chamber of commerce. has
taken up the matter Of the Ford ship
building plant, to be located at a
Southern port, and have gone squarely
after securing this plant for Georgia,
to be located at Savannah or Bruins
wick.
AS a result of kilograms exchanged
between the chamber and the boards
of trade at Savannah and Brunswick,
kilograms have been sent to Henry
Ford and his committee, and Ivan AL

Drainage Urged To Aid The Crops

Drainage Urged To Aid The Crops
S. w, McCallie, state geologist, at
meeting of the advisory board of
the geological survey of Georgia, held
at the state capitol, advocated more
energetic and systematic pushing of
the work of draining the swamp land
of the state as means of promoting
the growing of food crops in Geor-
gia. %i
THE reclamation of swamp and
overflow lands" said Mr. McCallie,
appears to be the most practical so
luton to the question of increasing
our food output nK
Figures prepared by Mr.. McCallie
show that 20 per cent of the entire
acreage Of Georgia needs drainage.
This land is divided as follows: Over
flow and permanent swamp land,
S,151,177 acres; periodical swamp
lands 62F969, acres: wet grazing
lands, S,5S1,666. acres;i land needing
