Errors were a plenty also, and the Scouts ran wild on the bases, the Carbondale Scouta alone registering sixteen stolen bases.

So you sea these threa specific points of unusual cost to construct; coupled with this you must not overlook 6he fact that the topographical conditions are not easy, Iu order to arrive at the proper grade for a first clasa road, the kind, we will build, if any, there is a large amount of dirt to be moved. Fortunately there doesn't be any rock.

Then' wre must note bhe fact, -fchafc this road enters three substantial incorporated cities and traverse their acree.os.. Both'" the coDStruction and maintenance of road bed on these streets is expensive THE PROBABLE COST Then when yoii compare this with other roads you will flue chat it costs 'from $25,000 bo $40,000 per mile to build aud equips first class road any where. This proportion requires that a road be oonstrucbed; there masi be fche electrical construction anA cue equipment. Depots, station houses, car sheds and repair shops, expense of securing: per-mi tis, 'franchises, rights of way, incorporating expensoT financing and other of this will cost' approximately. per Now that'we have the cost before us, we have to conaider oppor- mon practice to aek the local peopl for a donation; reducing thi auiount of investment; likewise re ucing the amount of darning, necessary.

Mr. Minton'and his associates urged that this request should not be made, we have consented. Another plan almost, as common as the firs i is to call upon the local people to purchase.a part of the capital stock. 'Nearly every town in the United States that haa induced the building of a railroad lias done one of these two things and have found 'it a profitable, thing to do. In every case 'the, people have found that the added business opoprtunities.the added value t'o real the growth in population have repaid many times all that has been 'invested, in this way.

In spite of these Minton and his-agsoc'iate's'again insist that we should not make this request, ye persist in-their efforts to have this road built. As heretofore recited we have insisted 1 that the local people retain a Jackson real estate described as follows, to-wit: Lot number 506 in Samuel C.

In spite of the fact that the local people are the principal ones who wil'l be benefited by this road, Mr.

Minton insists that their investment should be of the same character aa that o'f the foreign capital. A BOND ISSUE PLANNED s. The result is: We have fin'allv been induced to 'finance this propo sition by raeans of a Bond mortgage, five per cent, 30 year bonda: This mortgage will provide for a two per cent Sinking Fund to be' set aside for the retirement of bonds. The-interest, and sinking fund' is to be paid from the net earnings of tha" Railway Company and the bonds are a first' upon all property and earnings of the Railway Company. It was decided in.

our consultation with Mr. Minton and bis associates that we would name a specific approve of the proposition made by Orla. M. Hill with reference to the proposed building'of the Murphysboro and Southern Illinois Railroad and recommend the proposition to the citizens of Carbondale, Illinois. Be it further resolved, That a committee "be appointed to obtain subscriptions sufficient in number and amount to satisfy terms of said proposition; amount of the bond for the local, people to purchase.

But I have entered into a contract with the Railway Company to construct and equip the road and take the bonds in payment, provided that local people jurchase enough of these bonds and enough people purchase bonds sat- sfymy associates as to the support the. roa'd will receive.
