THE KAI LROAD NEW w Proposition to Build a A Ne Railroad to Butler. Tonis, Kansas City & The x stern Coming Sure. | What The Representative Bus- iness Men think of the Scheme. $40,000 AND RIGHT OF WAY. TIMES notice last week’s issue of the appeared ar. editorial ne forth the main points im the railroad proposition. At that time the reporter had not learned t! name of the road, but told tially where it started and the direc— would likely go. So tar none ttin new I substan- tion it of our contemporares light on the subject, or publish- have thrown any ed any additional tacts concerning the proposition as stated by the TIMEs. Following up the ‘‘pointer’ last week, the Times railroad repor ter commenced an earnest investiga- tion. The task was a smattering gifficult, the parties interested being very reticent, just as they always are to-ward the Times. Enough was elicited to justitv the repetition of our last weaks statement that, ‘the road is to start somewhere on the Gulf line near Pleasanton, running by way of Walnut. Butler and thence either in the direction of Holden or Clinton. The money asked of the entire county along the line, is $40, 00.”” This was substantially the propo- sition submitted at the meeting last night. It appears that Clinton is to be a fixed point on the line, and the Times understands the same offer has been submitted in that county as there has been here. In addition to the $40,000 subscription the right of way is required through the entire county. It is presumed the new St. Lous, Kansas City & Western will utilize the grade very near com— pleted between Butler and Walnut struck and beyond. Business men have heard very ht- tle of the proposition from strictly authoritive sources, hence they are backward in expressing themselves. Nevertheless, the reporter approach- eda goodly number of the city’s ieading business men yesterday tore- noon, and drew them out to the fol- lowing effect. Capt. Tygard was the first man visited. In response to the question what he thought of the new railroad proposition he said: Tygard: ‘1 have the utmost con- fidence and respect for the gentle- k of this terprise and also believe that they have the means and the ton to carry the enterprise through. As to the proposition itself. T believe men who are at the ba en- determina- that 1f the people are assured by some means that the road will be built immediately, the be raised. Have given it but little thought yet, hence am prepared to money will give no news W.E. Walton next called on, and the same question being propounded to him, said: ss} shave proposition stated was not heard the pee”? Upon being informed by the re- porter of the nature of the plan, he continued : Waitens:. “tL It good one, and the people should take hold of once. I the $40,000 would be rz trouble. [ subscribed $1,300 before, favor it. is a i at believe sed with no and will raise that) amount rather than loose this proposition. Yes sir, I favor it.’’ Next the reporter ertered — the court house and Judge Hawktas wis his. first. vi im. Upon presenting the subject to the Judge, he said: “The proposition is all mght. | satisfied for time have been some that the road would be built through © county, and the best thing But- ter can do is to secure it.” The County Clerk’s le, our reporter office being entered and to R.J. Starke, who with a surprising look in made his errand known enquired what the latest: proposition was. And atter being told remarked : “$40,000 is a heap of money, but the people had better raise it. We need the road right row’. AJL. McBnde was next inter- viewed, and expressed himself about t to the matfer, but for mys the sum ought to be raised with lit- tle trouble.’’ J.
