IIU. CQMfAXY. Diraoir Delay Bra Alabama la la aerlona danger of losing- a. railroad. The Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia line, better known a the T.

A. G. line, may be crapped by tbe federal court, according: to Information received by the Alabama Public Senil Commission' Thursday. The Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia road is 94 68-100 miles In length, the termini being Gadsden and Chattanooga, Tenn. Forty-two miles are In Alabama.

This road has been in the hands of a receiver for more than two years, the federal judges at Gadsden, Rome, And Chattanooga, having met and appointed C. Hicks of Chattanooga as receiver. The receiver has operated the road in an effort to make It pay expenses but, ac cording to the report filed in April of. this year with the Alabama Public Service Commission, this road during the fiscal year 1920, lost $114,054 in operation alone, This does not include interest on bonds, outstanding notes or taxes. Since January 1, 1921, the road has fallen behind its business of 1920, and, according to Information of the Alabama Public Service Commission, a petition has been prepared and presented to the federal judge at Chattanooga asking that operation of the road be discontinued and that the property be junked and sold for what it will bring.

The seriousness of the situation regarding this railroad was brought to the attention of the Alabama Public Service Commission by R. M. Junes, secretary of the Gadsden Chamber of Commerce. He was told by the commission according to Commissioner S. P.

Galllard that the commission would as soon as it was in possession of a copy of the petition to the federal Judge wire the federal judge to withhold action toward Junking the line until an investigation can be made. Under paragraphs 18 and 19 of Section 1 of the Esch-Cummins bill, it is provided that before a railroad can be abandoned or operation discontinued, it must first petition the Interstate Commerce Commission for a certificate of convenience and necessity for such action. It is understood that no such petition has been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission in this case. It has been the practice of the Interstate Commerce Commission to allow state commissions to make recommendations relative to discontinuance of rail lines under this act. The Alabama commission only recently heard a petition of the Alabama and Mississippi railroad for authority to abandon Its line.

The Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia railroad touches two Alabama counties Etovrah and Cher- okee and passes Into Georgia on the Cherokee line. This road has 131 employees seven locomotives, 00 box mm, and eight passenger cant, and touches the following stationa In Alabama! Gadsden, Briscoe, Blue Pond, Congo, Tuff, Jamestown and Chesterfield. "I feel certain," said Commissioner Gaillard. "that the Alabama com-nis-sion will not allow, this road to be scrapped or to cease operation until a proper Investigation is made. The law provides the method by which a road can be abandonee, or scrapped, and we will Insist that ii be complied with in this case after we have received a copy of the petition to abandon the line." DALE ROAD PROJECT TO FEDERAL ENGINEER The Alabama Highway Department Thursday submitted to the Bureau of Public Roads, a project statement for a proposed road in Dale county, which has been taken under consideration by the district engineer.

The proposed highway is to extend from the Hous-. ton county line to the Choctawhatchie river, thirteen miles in length. Fifty percent federal aid Is requested for the project, tl.e estimated cost for which is $85,769. The road is to be surfaced with gravel through the villages and with sand clay In other sections.

In each of the weeks covered, Mr. Glet says the government report shows that the Montgomery price was the lowest price quoted.

It is stated in addition that the Montgomery market during the period specified was 68 points below the average, 150 points below the highest quotation, and 26 points below the next lowest. The government report showing the average prices of cotton for the period between August 20 and October 22, 1921, at the ten official markets, is announced by Mr. Gist as follows: Cts. pr. lb.

The lower court ruled that upon Overton being convicted of a felony, the Insurance contract was automatically rendered void. This ruling has been affirmed by the supreme court, notwithstanding the contention by the appellant that the voiding of the contract was a matter that should have been decided upon by the order issuing the policy.
