Texarkana, Xov. 190. The rumor current upon the streetg Tuesday to the effect that attorneys for Maxcy and Co in pan conditional purchasers of ths l.iO.OOO bond issue had declined to approve tha bonds, refuses to down in spite of tne statements from the official that they have heard nothing from Hr. Maxcy Indicating that such action ha been taken. The rumor increases In persistency, and from several sources it ha been stated positively that Maxcy' attorney ref umj to grve their ap.

proval to the bond issue as it stands present without having undergon the crucial test of the. courts. Mayor teLoach when questioned regarding--the matter yesterday stated that he had heard nothing from Mr. Maxcy Concerning the bond issue, neither ha the contractors representative, Mr. Horton, made any state ment to the mayor concerning th reported action tsken, by the bond attorney.

Mr. Maxcy left for the' East lost week for ostensibly the purpose of nrgotiatlng a final transfer of the bonds to some of the large bond buying houses. Before leaving he in formed Judge Hughes that aa soon aa definite action wae talttn he would advise him. The contractor seemed confident that when the records of th bond issue were submitted to the Eastern attorney that he would have no difficulty In negotiating a deal whereby he could carry out, his contract for building; the roads and take over the quarter million dollar Issue In payment. it 1 known that the Mxcy-Com pany is extremely anxious that tha contract made with the county and city go through.

A large amount of road improvement will be done In Texas within the next few years, an-1 the successful handling of a contract involving 1260.000 would add materially to tha chance of the Houston concern tn competing for Imllar contract later on. It has been stated that Mr. Maxcy would undertake the local good roads work even with the prospect of falling tod realise any profit whatever out of the Job, rather than lost It altogether. It Is Certain that he i3 bending every energy possible to effect a successful negotiation of the bond issue. Should tha rumor that the bonds bavt.

been turned down prove true, it hag been intimated that Mr. Max cy will likely su great aa a means of proving; Mf the bond attorneys the absolute validity of the securities thai a friendly suit be Instituted In order to have the special law under which the bonds were isnued paased upon by higher courts. This would, of course, necessitate considerable lose of time and such action would be taken only as a last recourse. Should this be undertaken Maxcy would still retain his contract to construct the roads and carry it out at such time that the validity of the conds could be finally and definitely established by due process of law. The officials expect a message from fta.

Msscy at any time stating what he has accomplished, If anything, to-wat negotiating the quarter millilon Usue. The National Lumber, and Creosot-ing Company, owpei'a of the Little Creosote plant destroyed by fire a few week ago. has seoured an option on 40 acres of land belonging to M. D. Tilaon in the southwest por tion of the cjty.

and if suitable switch ing facilities can be seourea win begin the erection in' a short time of a very large plant to take the place of tne one destroyed. Tne business of the company haa reached enormous proportions before the old plant was destroyed, and the increasing de mands made upon the equipment rendered It out of the question to rebuild upon the former site, which waa, even tdo mall for the proper handling of the business during the past few months. Another and controlling reason for placing- the new plant upon a site more advantageously situated, waa the necessity for more adequate Shipping- facilities than could be provided by the Texas nd Pacific, the only rod supplying track Into the old property. Since the plant burned the company has been looking for a sit which could be reached by tha Texas and peciflo. Cotton Belt and the Kansas City Southern, and th very liberal proposition made by Mr.

Tilson hs all but solved the problem and made certain the early re-con struction of this important industrial plant. The forty acres owned by Mr. Til-son is a few blocks beyond the post Pipe Company and on one side Is reaehed by, the main line of the Cot-1 ton Belt and On the other by the Transcontinental division of the Texas and Pacific. Running- into the Pest Pipe Company property "fs a spur track from the Kansas City Southern, which Is an extension of the track formerly used to reach the old Four lumber mill To secure permission from property holders to extend this spur to tha proposed site of the- creosote plant is the only thing remaining before actual con. structlon by the National Lumber and Creoeotlng-Company will begin.

A reposition was mace to extend the track through a street Just south of the Post Pipe Company, but as this is one of the main thoroughfares for reaching- the city from a thickly nonulated property holders along- the rout objected to Its being used for-traflo purpose and this Idea wna abandoned. The only other practu al means ft? reaching the Tilson property with a spur track from the Kansas City Southern Is to cross the tr1p of land formerly owned by th Kedwater Lumber Company and wnicn was purchased at the recent sale of this property by Mr. Smith of Dallas. Negotiations have been opened with Ktnlth looking to the securing Of tracks ge privilege over hts property, smt while the consent of other prop et-ty "bwners along ths route will lo have to be gained, permiston to. cross tbe block of ground ow-ned bv him will prsctically mean the immedists construction of a large creosotlng plant on the Tilson property.

Texarkana people are deeply W-ir-tA in tha re-biilldlnar of the creosote plant as is recognised that the plan under way mean tne addition of a very important Industrial plant to the city's industries and several hundred names to the pay-roll brigade, A special meeting of the East Side City Council was held last night to consider the action of A.

Helms, the owner of the lot in question Is out of town. The Helm lot extends back from Seventeenth Street, the standard depth for city lots and there is said to be plenty of room for the owner to build without encroaching on that part of the lot that the city must Ultimately procure by purchase or condemnation proceedings when Seventeenth Street is put through. Councilman Walker told how he, as a member of the City Council had attempted to make terms with Mr. Helms for the twenty-two feet across the front of his lot which is necessary to make Seventeenth Street of the standard width of fifty feet, and that the owner had stated that he would not take less than $1,000 for the property unless compelled to do so by condemnation proceedings. There was a free discussion among the councilmen and visitors present as to the value ot th required 22 feet and the extent of the construction on the bouse in question.

After a spirited debate sll sides of the question, the Council proposed the followin? resolution which was adopt ed unanimously; Be It "Resolved by the City Council of the City of Texarkana.

A proposition was discussed to pur chase or trade for 12 feet of a lot just back of th Helms property and be longing to County Judge C. W.

Kimball and to oirer mis to air. neimi in neu the part of said property required by the city for Seventeenth Street. All councilmen and visitors asknowl-edged that Mr. Helms Is well within Ms legal rights In building a permanent structure In such a position that It must necessarily be removed by the cltr In a few years at considerable ex-pens.
