Mr. W. E. Brease Talks Transcontinental.
(Aheville Citizeit)
Mr. W. E. Breese, Jr., of Bre
vard, assistant counsel for the
Transcontinental South Atlantic
railroad, arrived here yesterday
from Raleigh, where he attended
the meeting of the officials of the
road. Mr. Breese is very enthus
iastic concerning the prospects of
the proposed railroad, which will
run from tw i Tennessee Coal fields,
to Waynesville, Asheyille, Ruth
erf ordtoh and thence to the sea.
Mr- Breese said :
'The people of North Carolina
as a whole, especially those of the
westeVn part ol the state, have
not been advertent to the great
value of the building of this road.
It has been clearly shown that
the reduction of freights by the
establishment of a basic point in
North Carolina, in, compliance
with the rules and regulations of
the interstate commerce commis:
sion, would result in the immedi
ate saving to shippers and con
sumers in this state of over ten
millions of dollars per annum in
freight alone and that the only
hope of establishing such a rate
basing point, and of thereby re
ducing the excessive cost to the
people of the state, and destroy
ing the freight rate discrimina
tions against the people of North
Carolina, will be by the buildii g
fit the Transcontinental railroaa
which will extend f rom Knoxville
and o'ther western points- to the
sea at Southport, when it is final
ly completed. , vwjjrv
