Inside Track Contention For Grant Park Lines
The Atlanta Rapid Transit Company holds the inside track for summer traffic to Grant Park, after a council committee session. The Besco Railway and Power Company gains a consolation cross with a permission to link its lines at Augusta Cherokee avenues and at Georgia avenue and Grant street. A unanimous council report is expected Monday adopting a plan restricting car movements and spacing on Cherokee avenue while preserving the inside track for the ATR.
