ON MATTER
OF RETURN OF RAILROADS
CHAMBER COMMERCE TO
VOTE ON QUESTION.
Ballots Prepared and Purport
of Election Explained
by Fred Arm.

Action upon the referendum of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States upon the subject of remedial
railroad administration will be taken
by the especial committee of the
Chattanooga Manufacturers associa-
ton. acting in conjunction with a
similar committee from the Chatta-
nooga Chamber of Commerce early
next week, according to Fred Arm,
chairman of the manufacturers' COM
mittee. Mr.. Arm stated that his
committee is deferring action upon
the most important subject to give
the committeeman more time to
study the ballot. Enough ballots
have not yet been received to supply
each member of the committee. 1t
will hardly be likely that a general
referendum Of the membership Of the
chamber of commerce will be held,
although the question for discussion
is of vital interest to every member
of the organization and the citizenry
in general. Action will be left to the
special committee representing all
lines of business and profession.
The referendum Is known as REF
erendum 2S" of the national organ
ization of chamber of commerce. The
ballot is of more than passing in
terest, both by dint of the fact that
the subject for discussion is a vital
one, and because the ballot is
broader than is usually the case
The ballot has five provisions with
blank spaces for marking after each
of the clauses. The provisions OF
the ballot are:
l. The committee recommends
adherance to the policy of corporate
ownership and operation with COM
prehensive regulation.
1.-The committee recommends re-
turn of roads to corporate owner
ship as remedial legislation can be
enacted.
3-The committee recommendsA ad.
herance to the period of federal con.
troll as now fixed unless and until
impossibility of remedial Legislation
in this period clearly appears.
4-The committee recommends
permission for consolidation in the
public interest with prior approval
by government authority, in a him.
tied number of strong competing
systems.
5-The committee recommends
requirement that railroad companies
engaging in interstate commerce be-
come federal corporation, witt
rights of taxation and police regula'
ton reserved for the states.
Organizations taking referendum
must make their report not late
than July "a.

Local Real Estate Dealers
Favor 1t for Memorial
Auditorium.
BANKsoN GIVES VIE W S
City Must Get Away From
"0ne- Street Town"
Ideas.

CHATTANOOGA real estate men
seem almost unanimous in their In
dorsement of the Caldwell property
as the logical site for the new memo
rial auditorium One real estate
dealer estimated that at least four
fifths of all the local dealers were
for the east side site In preference
to the lower Market property. In
fact, not single dealer, with pos
sibly one exception, has been heard
to express himself in favor OF the
car barns" site. The East Seventh
street dealers seem strong for the
residential section, although they de-
clare they are not financially inter-
ested in the matter.
The objections to the Market street
location are numerous in the minds
of the real estate men who have been
interviewed upon the subject. One
dealer declared that there were four
teen points against the lower Market
property as good as those enumer-
ated for the benefit of the Hun by
President Wilson. There were many.
he said, in favor of the residential
section for the location of the audi
forum.
.If we are ever going to be any
thing more than country village we
must build away from Market street
declared s. o. Bankson. Continuing
he enumerated half a dozen strong
reasons why he believed the site
which the majority of the commits.
sion is rumored as favoring, Is NOT
the best location available. Build
toward the east and soon a big build
ing, followed by another and then
still another, will be erected in that
vicinity, giving Chattanooga the ap-
pearance of a real city, he said.
The second objection to the Mar
ket street site was that the audito.
rum, If erected there, will be out Of
touch with everything and away from
the growth of the natural trend o.
the city. 1t cannot be popular witt
the ladies, it was pointed out, since
it is an undesirable part of the towr
and far removed from the churches
and other social centers. A further
objection is that every two or three
weeks a new automobile repair shol
or some such establishment springs
up, interfering with the growth o.
the district. The fact that high wate
will make it impossible to have show!
and exhibits of various kinds In thu
basement of the building was pointed
out as strong objection. mo-
should the noise about the car barni
be overlooked, 1t was added. In ad
dition to the noise created by TN
cars rafting over the myriad o
switches, the repair work within TIM
shops is quite noisy.
