2inlitwat MARI'L4ND MILITARY NAVAL ACADEMY An AMERICAN reporter met Mr Zimmerman president of the Chesapeake Nashville Railmad shortly after the session of the Council last night at which the bill providirg for an additional grant of right of way through the city was killed "What you think of the action of the Council in killing the bill giving your road a new grant of right of way through the city?" was asked "It looks very much like the strong arm of tbe Louisville Nsebville Railroad is having some influence in your Council chamber" "How?" "The Louisville Nashville Railroad is of course the enemy of ours We would be a competitor for their trade and of course they don't want us here They have been fighting us at every step and under all circumstances Now aa to this bill we acquired when the road was first proposed a certain right of way grant from the Council through this city This route as yom will remember took us out Front streelll Now it would assuredly be best for Os to have our track run into the Union Depot in fact that is almost a neceesity We would be seierely crippltd without it The vifie Nashville people see this and want to keep us out Therefore they have fought the amended bill providing such a route as would take us to the Union depot In a word they want to place us at such a disadvantage here that we would be induced to stay away That's the situation in a nutshell The longer that they can delay the completion of the Chesapeake Nashville Railroad the more money they make by keeping up their exorbitant freight rates" "Why did you commence Work at Gallatin and not at Nashvil "First the citizens of Nashville agreed to furnish the Chesapeake Nashville Railmad Company the right of way in the city of Nmhville This was not furnished nor was the right of way through the county there has been but one right of way secured in the county and that was over a fifty-acre tract When the rights of way in the city and county are furnished we are ready to commence work at Nashville The citizens of Sumner County Tenn and Allen County Ky being the line from Gallatin to Scottsville having fully come up to their agreement we are now at work on that section with a large force of men It is necessary to construct that portion of the line first in order to reach stone for the masonry and timber for tires and bridges The Huntington system now controls more than 7000 miles of railroad and the authorities would certainly not think of building merely thirty-four miles of road to use as a lever against the Louisville Nashville" The Council chamber presented an animated appearance last night When President Byrne rapped his gavel every member of the Boar4 of Ten was hi his meat and the corridor to the rear of their d4ks was crowded Nearly every muin14ipal official was an expectant attendant upon business which promised to develop into sotnething of unusual interest The Citizens'
