the proposed road crosses the Mississippi
Central Railroad. This is the require

narrow gauge roads had not been discuss

time will permit, the Legislature will re-
duce the amount Of necessary subsclip-

row gauge will not cost one half the
amount of a broad gauge road. The
charter at present only extends from the
city of Memphis to Savannah with the
