A LAWSUIT OVER
ARLINGTON DEPOT
RAILROAD COMMISSION EN-
JOINED FROM ENFORCING
ORDER FOR BUILDING.

A temporary order has been grant
ed by the superior court of Fulton
county enioining the Georgia Public
Service Commission from enforcing its
order requiring the construction Of a
new depot building at Arlington, on
the Central of Georgia railroad.
The petition, which is pregnant with
humor and sarcasm, recites that Ger
tain citizens" of Arlington started an
"agitation" for a new depot building
as far back as 1917, and asserts that
the commission is not supported in its
forecast of growth and development
to an extent that requires new depot,
since the census figures show the
county in ten years decreased in pop
u1ation by LOO.
The state commission some time
ago issued an order directing the road
to erect a new depot building by
March l, 1928, according to plans and
specifications filed with the commits
sion.
The road now contends that the To-
cation on which certain citizens" de-
mand the depot be located is at the
crest of a grade over which it is inn
possible to pull trains; that, as mat
ter of fact, it is necessary to split all
freight trains to get them over the
grade. 1t would be necessary to make
a cut in that grade and, in addition
to the $4,000 which the depot would
cost. this cut and the land necessary
would make an increased cost of $780,
900.
Not only is the road unable to ex-
pend that money, it says, but sched-
ule covering a number OF years is
filed showing small earnings from the
passenger business at that point
The case is answerable in the court
on December 18th.

KENTUCKY CITY is
FACING A DISASTER
TOWN FINDS ITSELF SLIPPING
INTO THE MISSISSIPPI. APP
PEALS TO WASHINGTON.

The city of Hickman, KY, has made
a frantic appeal to Washington asking
the authorities to cut the red tape
procedure and act at once to save the
city from being literally swept into
the Mississippi river. The Mississippi
river commission has been urged to
take action in the direction of tempo
rary revertment of the river bank
around west Hickman, which, due to
the changing OF the rivers current
and its terrific action upon the shore,
is described as menacing not only life
and property but the welfare OF the
entire community.
Senator Stanley. of Kentucy, de-
scribed Hickman's plight as one in
which the city's dwellings, schools,
churches and industries are in danger
of dropping into the river in a short
time. He announced his purpose to
introduce a bill at the coming session
of congress authorizing the S35O,0C0
expenditure declared by engineers to
be necessary for the permanent re-
vetment of the bank Meanwhile, cit
liens of Hickman say, some measures
must be taken before high water
comes. to save the town.
Engineers acting for the river com
mission already have visited Hickman
for the purpose OF surveying condl-
tons. They are said to have agreed
that the fears of the people are well
founded and have made the estimate
of $350,000 as to the needed outlay.
