The electric and railways committee advanced a renewal for the Atlanta and Macon Railway franchise to run fifty years instead of thirty. The line from the city limits along Hit street to Exchange street would end at a depot, with tracks underground where possible and a 2 percent tax rising to 6 percent after five years. A $25,000 bond, sixty day acceptance, and work within one year for construction and two years to lay tracks are required, with city adjustments on grade, paving, and street condemnation.

Rails Win Over The Groove In City Rail Decision
The street committee backed by President Arkwright of the Georgia Railway and Power Co rescinded a plan to replace rails on Highland avenue and North Boulevard with heavier units. The railway would incur high costs for new rails and paving but agreed to consider girder rails if the city desires. A related grant requires property owners to fund a guaranteed $840 for Pryor street grading before work starts. The council paused Fourteenth street sidewalk work pending a property transfer.
