Mr.. Wicker stated, without referring to
the provisions Of the railroad la. above
quoted, that it was the desiae Of the Dakot.
Southern company to act In harmony With
the citizens Of Yankton, that their interests
were mutual, and that the company would
respect the wishes and acts of the council
in regard to the right Of way along and
across the streets of the city. He would be
glad to accept right Of way on Seventh
street If the expense of constructing the
road thereon would not be too great it
would cost much more to build on Seventh
street than on Eighth, because on the former
heavy fills would have TO be made aud at
least four bridges constructed. all Of which
would be avoided on the latter. He would
have his engineer examine Seventh street,
and if he did not report the obstacles too
great he would be glad to accept the right
of way aud construct his road upon that
street. He further stated that az soon q the
right Of way through the city and county
was secured he would go to work and ex.
tend the road up the Jim river valley as
rapidly as possible.
After some further discussion the
consideration of the ordinance was POSITION.
ed until the engineer of the Dakota South.
ern had examined Seventh stnaet and re.
ported upon its feasibility for railroad pur.
poses.
