Commission weighs plans besides a new rail lease

The Western and Atlantic commission did not debate a new lease today and will not decide on Monday. Instead it heard the Atlanta plaza committee propose parking the right of way through the city and revamping rail terminal facilities, with a lease clause to cooperate in the plaza plan. Engineer Douglas estimated the work at about 1 million dollars with no cash cost to the state or lessee. The panel said it would consider this but noted many obstacles and will reconvene Monday morning.
