A bill introduced in the house by Representatives Cooper and Crawler of Ware proposes a right of way for the Atlantic Waycross and Northern railroad into Atlanta. It aims to extend the Western and Atlantic railroad to the sea, permitting condemnation of Fort Valley branch and parts of Georgia Terminal property and amending the road’s charter to connect with the Atlantic Ocean at St Marys River.

The bill outlines the legal machinery to exercise the granted privileges.
