Candler Defends Rail Route and Atlanta History
Georgia leader Henry Candler argues that Decatur opposed the railroad not to become Atlanta but to remain distinct as the mother of Atlanta. He notes lease history of Western and Atlantic, reports on state operation during war, and supports double tracking to Cartersville and a tunnel bill limiting rolling stock size.
