LEASE COMMISSION
IS CREATED FDR W.
AND A. RAILROAD
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 20—A bill cre
ating a commission of three men to
i execute a new lease for the Western
I and Atlantic railroad was passed by
the house of representatives late Fri
day afternoon.
The bill passed by the house is the
one that was prepared by the Western
and Atlantic committee of the house,
| but the house amended the committee’s
i bill so as to conform to the advice of
| W A. Wimbish; Hooper Alexander and
I C. Murphy Candler, as presented by
them in addresses which they deliver
to the house Thursday afternoon.
The committee’s bill provided for a
commission consisting of the governor,
the chairman of the railroad commis
i s’on, two members of the senate, three
members of the house and two citizens,
I making nine in all.
j The house cut the commission down
,to the governor, the chairman of the
i railroad commission and one citizen
pto be named by them jointly, making a
commission of three.
The committee’s bill fixed $50,000
per month as the minimum price at
| v. Inch the commission should lease the
i road. The house struck out this fig
. ure, and left the rental entirely to the
. discretion of the commission.
| The committee's bill directed the
I commission to require the elssee to
I pay taxes on the road to the counties
I through which it runs. The house am-
I ended this section so as to permit, but
i not direct, the commission to require
such payment by the lease.
These three changes are in accord
ance with the advise of each of the
gentlemen named above, who are con
, sidered the three best informed men
I on the Western and Atlantic railroad
I in the state.
The committee’s bill fixed fifty years
as teh maximum term for which the
new lease shall run. The house did
not change this, as Mr. Wim'bish and
Mr. Candler advised long leases, al
though in this respect Mr. Alexander
differed from them and advised a lease
of not more than twenty-five years.
The bill passed by the house is dif
ferent in several essential particulars
from the bill which passed the senate a
few days ago.
The house, after passing the bill, ad
journed until Monday morning at 11
o'clock.

GA. MINHS PLAYERS
TURKEFDAY GAME
ATHENS, Ga., Nov. 20. —When eGor
gia lines up against Clemson next
Thursday for the annual scrap be
tween the two football teams the Red
■ and Black will be minus the services
]cf six of her best players. Clemson is
: a member of the S. I. A. A. and is reg
istered in class “A” and therefore plays
nothing but players who have been in
| college two years. Under the rules of
i »he Association Georgia cannot play
. her first year men in this game and
I therefore Beasley, Dezendorf, Cul
i breath. Davis, Hunter and Reynolds
I
j will be out of the game. Some of these |
, have been regulars this fall while all
of them are promising subs.
The same trouble that characterizes
every Clemson game is being felt
again this season, the Georgia players
will simply not warm up to the propo
sition they have before them. This is
true also of the people in general in
I the city. This should be made a gala
' day in Athens. It is a national holiday
' and after closing the places of business
I the people shoulud turn out to see the
I game. j
