Four witnesses for the Atlanta Railway Company were examined by Attorney Spalding.

They were D. B. Banks, a civil and electrical engineer of Baltimore: Superintendent Zimmerman, of the Atlanta Ratlwav Company: J. P.

Blackwell. a constructing and consulting engineer of New York, and Frank Lederle. an electrical engineer of Atlanta. The most Important question brought out during the hearing was what the finding of the appraisers would constitute. The attorneys for the two railway systems have different opinions as to what duty of the appraisers is.

The question was touched unon during the Introduction of testimony. MY. Goodwin was questioning the witness when (MT. Spalding wanted to know finding of the appraisers. Alex King stated that the aooralsprs would find the amount of money the Atlanta Railway Company Is to pay the Consolidated for the tracks which are laid In Mitchell street between ff them will by both comoanles." Goodwin held that 'the tracks ihnuld not only be naid for.

but that there should be an award. This question wii! be lore thoroughly discussed In the argu The evidence yesterday was entirely on the value of the track on Mitchell street. The auestlonlng was carried on bv Attorney Spalding, for the Atlanta Railway Company, and by Attorney Goodwin for President "Woodruff, of the Consoll President AmoTous. of the Atlanta Railway Company; Superintendent Hurt, of the Consolidated: Superintendent Zlmmer Agent Glenn, of the Consolidated: City Attorney Anderson.

B. Wilson. Banks, Blackwell, Lederle and Zlmmer were sworn by Mr. Soatdlng and the Introduction testimony began. Investigation Begins.

Mr. Banks was the first witness. He said he lived in Maryland and for fourteen been a civil engineer. During e.has been a consulting engineer had been engaged to prepare plans for the extension of the Atlanta Railway Company. The plans were prepared under his trecnon.

He snowed a arawtng or tne rtenslon over Mitchell street. "The plan," he said, "did not contem plate using any of the overh ead electric work." He told of the oresent construction of the Consolidated. "I have looked over the track. I have made an estimate of the cost of the track. If it should be made anew.

I calculated the cost of rails, pavement, crosstles, wiring, aad I thlok the cost at this time to put down the tracks and equipments would be about J2.P&. "The diflVence of the value between that track ar.vi when It was new would be about one turn? off of $2,600. often done In speaking ot his experience la electrical work, he said he bad made the drawings and calculations for nearly all the roads in Maryland. Mr. Banks was cross examined by Mr.

Goodwin. The witness said he was employed In Baltimore and that he met Mr. Spalding there. He said he had conrerred with a Mr. Webb.

He came here and was shown over the proposed routes, and employed to make drawings of the road. Mr. Goodwin asked the witness if twice as many cars were run over tracks aa are now run, what proportion of life would it take away from the Mr. Banks said the road would last about fourteen years with the present schedule, but couia not say what difference it would make to double the schedule. Mr.

Goodwin asked if the schedule was doubled would the track last ten years. The witness said he couldnot give an exact answer. He said the running of cars over the tracks does cause wear and tear, but that he did not know the proportion to the He was asked concerning the life of a tie, and he said that the Georgia yellow pine tie, as those are, laid in clay on a hill would stand about eight years' wear. Mr. Banks, when asked, said there were so many contingencies that he could not give an estimate of the amount of attention which would be required tor the main as questioned very closely a i little work, but If allowed to de tbe travel along Mitchell street would double because of the viaduct.

Mr. Banks asked a few other questions by itr. Bpaldlng, and Mr. Blackwell. of New York, a constructing and consulting engineer, was placed no the stand.

The witness said he had charge of the construction of a similar piece of overhead wiring as that which will have to be done t. aid fully accomplished and operated for some Mr. Blackwell was questioned by Mr. Goodwin. He was asked regarding the wear and tear and also the difference of freight rates betwen Atlanta and Baltimore on rails.

He said he bad experience In constructing railways In Boston, Pittsburg, Richmond, New York, Washington. Lowell and Woonsoeket York. and other cities. He said he thought the track on Mitchell street was on its last legs. He thought that a good track laid lh the soil in Atlanta would last about fifteen years.

Mr. Blackwell was speaking of the costs of rock pavement, and Mr. Goodwin asked If he knew the difference between the cost of the pavement In Baltimore and Atlanta. "I know that rock pavement usually costs between 12.50 and (2.75 per yard, but In Baltimore I understand the pavement was laid through political rings, and may have "Are you speaking about the pavement In Atlanta or Baltimore? I did not quite understand?" asked Mr. Adair.

Mr. Blackwell said he did not think there would be very much loss of time In the ex 1 tra cars running on the Mitchell street car line. The continuity of the wires would cause no perceptible loss ot power, he said. Mr. Zimmerman, superintendent of the Atlanta Railway Company, was next questioned.

He said he has bad ten years' experience with electric lines. He remembered having cut into the line of the Consolidated at the crossing of Mitchell and Forsyth streets and examined the material' of which the Consolidated Use is constructed. He told the amount of track which would be occupied by the Atlanta Railway Company, and referred to a drawing for an explanation. He was questioned by Mr. Goodwin, who asked him regarding the duration nf the track of the Consolidated.

He said he believed it would stand between fifteen and eighteen years. He thought the life of the track would be shortened about three years by the proposed increased construction. Mr. Goodwin wanted to know If there would not be considerable wear and tear on the cars and track, if they had no stop to throw the switches when they ran into the different tracks. Mr.

Zimmerman did not think the cars would have to stop, as a switch tender would throw the switches. He said the poles to hold the wires would be placed between those of the Consolidated. Mr. Zimmerman was asked if the cars are increased, it the danger would not also be greater. He said it would not.

He stated that a car could pass over the Mitchell sixty cars an hour. Mr. Zimmerman was closely examined regarding the number of stop? that one car following another would nave to make by virtue of the front car being on the track. He said he did not think there would be any inconvenience or wear and tear, danger, or any time lost by the fact that two systems were running on the same tracks. Frank Lederle was the next witness.

He said he was a mechanical and electrical engineer, and a resident of Atlanta since garding the value Of the rail, tie and pave 1 meat. He said he thought the track, if used no more than It has been, would last big the amount of wear and tear if he number cars It would be seme greater. Qouoiect and the I X.
