Tuesday, ut the request oil Col. A. s.

pointed committee whose duty Il will [
be TO report back TO the Council such
demands for right Of way, ETC., az the

names of tho gentlemen who are con.
Quoting the enterprise, we are inclined
to the belief that the company means

in view of the difficulties in
obtaining reliable bodies of railroad
We wish the enterprise every
success
