Columbus Enquirer Interview With G E Jordan On Railroad Plans

A Columbus Enquirer interview with G E Jordan reveals cautious progress on the Columbus Southern railroad. Jordan notes rights of way remain to be closed in Muscogee and Terrell counties and says work proceeds with private funding and local subscriptions slow in several counties. He aims to complete Georgia Midland to McDonough in ten days and then focus on the Southern line, hoping for construction within a year if capital is secured. He also observes Northern and Eastern investors rest in warmer months and favors local efforts to attract capital.
