Andrews Tells of the Sotl ern's Attitude-Why They Do N( Think it Advisable to Complete tl Blue Ridge Now. Following Thursday's conferenci the following statement was give out by Col. A. B. Andrews, first vic president of the Southern Railwa company and president of the Blu Ridge Railway company. "While the Southern Railway con pany feels that it should have a lin through the Little Tennessee Valle and a connection between Walhall and Rabun Gap and intends, whe conditions warrant, to complete tb construction of this line, on whic considerable sums of money have a: ready been spent, the present is nc considered a favorable time for undei taking this enterprise. "This line could not be constructe for less than $3,000,000, and the mas mitude of the undertaking would mak it necessary to raise the require funds by the sale of securities. At thi time financial and commercial cond tions are unfavorable for the sale < such securities and they could not b marketed on reasonable trems. "For sevieral years past it has bee the consistent policy of the Souther Railway company to strengthen th facilities of the lines already in opera tion, so that the company can bette * serve the communities and territorie rhch It reaches, rather than to er gage in any -new construction. Thi policy has been found wise and it wil be necessary to continue it. In lin with this policy, the Southern Railwa company has expended 'out of such re sources as have been a.vailable consid erable sums for reconstruction an double tracking of important lines, er )arging yards, the construction of er larged and more commodious freigi houses and team track facilities, an new passenger and freight stationi nd it has increased the capacity an imprvedthe character of its passer ger train equipment, locomotives, an reight train cars. It has also mad iberal expenditures for new rail < heavier section and has eliminate emany miles of light rail, substitutin the heavier rail therefor. This wor has been going on throughout a: parts of the system. "The work of constructing the lin through the Little Tennessee Valle was halted by right of way trouble * involving litigation which proved slo of decision and has not yet been sei e tled. While the Southern railway con pany has not resumed the constru< tion of this line as a whole and is( at this time ready to undertake it, th ultimate construction of the line ha been constantly kept in view. Cor V struction work has been done alon the route of this line whenever loca business to be developed was sufficier to warrant it and all such constru< tion has been done with the purpos of eventually forming a part of tt through line. There is now in proj pect in the Little Tennessee Valle some further development which wou] cause several miles more of this lir to be built. Everything that' is bein done in this regard tends to brin anearer the completion of the throug line. "The Blue Ridge railroad, lookin * forward to the completion of a throug line, has only recently laid sevien mili of heavy rail and has in view coi tinuing putting down additional ra until the entire line is laid with th heavy rail.''
