Atlanta Rail and Water Works Deals Stir Merchants
The Atlanta railroad commission reduced local coal rates by 10 to 15 cents per ton as part of a broader agreement. Atlanta approved waterworks bonds and contracting for three pumping engines to draw water from the Chattahoochee River. Merchants pressed Richmond and Danville over discriminatory rates, with Hass promising correction. Separate legal actions involve United States Rolling Stock Company seeking back cars from Macon Construction Company. Other reports note watermelon prices, educational alliance rallies, and local infrastructure work in Americus and Cordele, including sidewalk repairs and a jewelry front.
