The CAIRO AND ST.. LOUIS RAILROAD
Mr.. johnson, the new superintendent OF
the Cairo and st. Louis railroad was in
the city yesterday, and called at the
BULLETIN Office. Mr.. johnson was "
the city looking after the affairs Of the
road at this point, and assured US that
the new management OF the road are de-
sirous aud anxious that all matters at IL.
sue between the railroad company and
the people Of Cairo shall be settled In a
manner that will be satisfactory
to all parties concerned. He says
the company, even II disposed to fight,
could not do so tor it has no money to
squander In that way. lie had read the
article which appeared in the BULLETIN
yesterday morning, and wished to correct
several statements made in it. He says
the management OF the road does not
care to put the track on the new leyee
there is route further to the east"
that is, Washington avenue to Thirty.
fourth street, and then in south~easterly
direction to the Mississippi levee, is re-
gardei as more practical route. Mr..
johnson scouts the idea OF making
Hodges Park the terminus OF the road,
aud says trains are now running to and
from that point simply because quantity
OF freight which accumulated there dur.
Ing the suspension needs to be remov-
ed. When asked what the prospects
for trains running into this city were,
Mr. johnson gave us to understand that
the management of the road does not 10.
tend to lay down their track belw zen the
new leyee and the river, and If they are
not given the right of way over "more
practical route" 1--WE suppose that means
down Washington avenue) than he could
not say what would be done. Mr.. Johns
son says the Cairo and ST. Louis railroad
company "does not propose to under,
take to do what the United States gov>
eminent has tailed to do" that ia to stop
the encroachments Of the Mississippi
river, and tor this reason they DO
not intend TO put down their
track on the strip of ground
between the river and the levee. During
his stay in the city Mr.. johnson called on
a number of our business men to talk
raliroai at them, but what
encouragement he received We
do not know. 70 our way OF
thinking the differences between what
the railroad company want and what
those OF our people who are most inter,
ested a.e willing to grant, do not argue
an early settlement OF the matter.
