"1 am much interested in the railroad
rates from tlie lakes to Georgia.
Our State owns a railroad from Atlanta
to Chnttandogn and there is a
strom* sentiment in favor of extending
it to Savannah. Ii' Cincinnatii
eould reclaim control of the line Imilt
by its citizens from Cincinnati to
Chicago, and Cincinnatti and Chicago
would-join a movement for the construction
of a line from Chicago to
Savannah, there might he a through
trunk line from Cciengo to Savannah,
operated solely for the purpose of
paying expenses and interests of the
act ual cost of const ruction without
the burdens of watered stocks and
bonds. Such a line would prove bctiJeflcial
not only to the great cities
through which it passed hut to a
broad territory adjacent to the lino.
]t would reduce freight rates more
than 2-> per cent. It would have a
most marked inilucnee on our trade
