Governor Candler urged to release letter on depot plan
In a discussion about a proposed depot for Atlanta Governor Candler faced questions on why a letter remains private. Spencer said the state may not meet funding needs and outlined that 60 0000 to 500 000 is speculative. He noted most land lies with city or Central railroad and obstacles remain unremoved.
