Central ?>f Georgia Controls Ocean Steamship Company?Harri man Fays Three Millions for Stock of the Par Value of Five Millions, at $60 Per Share?Over N nineteen Hun dred Miles of the Road. New York, June 15.?The sale of the Central of Georgia Railway to the Illinois Central Railroad, carrying out plf.ns forecasted more than a year ago, was announced today. The trans? action originated in negotiations cul? minating in November, 1907, when the entire capital stock of the Central of Georgia passed into the hands of Wm. Nelson Cromwell and John W. Castles. The purchase, it was an? nounced a few months later, was for E. H. Harriman, whose Intention, it was then stated,, was to transfer it to the Illinois Central. The price paid by the Illinois Central w?s not given out. Announcement of the transfer was maae in this city by John F. Hanson, o* Atlanta, president of the Central of Georgia. The price paid by Mr. Har? riman for the stock, to the par value of $5,000.000, It was stated, was $3, 000,000, or at the rate of $60 per share. The entire capital stock of the Cen? tral of Georgia was originally held by the reorganization committee of the Richmond and West Point Terminal Railroad and Ware House Company. In June, 1907, the stock was sold to Oaklelgh Thome, of New York, and Marsden J. Perry, of Providence, R. I., who agreed to retain voting control for at least two years. It was from these gentlemen that Messrs. Crom? well and Castles secured the stock, and they sold It to Mr. Harriman. The transfer of the Central of Georgia carries with it the control of two steamship lines, one from Savan? nah to New York, and the other from Savannah to Boston, operated by the Oceon Steamship Company. The Cen? tral of Georgia operates a little over 1,900 miles of roads. Its system touched that of the Illinois Central at Birmingham, Ala. An Enjoyable Dance.
