Governor Slaton ends railroad dispute with wise solution
Governor Slaton reached a prudent settlement over the Western and Atlantic railroad issue delaying the North Georgia Mineral railroad charter until next summer. He saved the state about 60 000 to 75 000 by avoiding an extraordinary session and allowed the legislature to review all aspects before any construction on the Louisville and Nashville extension could proceed. The negotiations were calm and diplomatic, with neither threats nor force, and the public gains are praised as a wise, protective outcome for Georgia.
