meeting was called TO order by electing
Judge +. b. Halves, president, and John
". MIttong, secretary. Judge Waters took
the floor and stated that the company had
determined to give the Odessa route the pre-
ferenee inasmuch IS 1t Is SO much nearer to
Kansas City than by way Of the Hlggins-
VILE route, recognizing that Kansas City IS

TO = great degree the prosperity OF the road
In wsy OF traffic, and the nearer to that place
the junction with the ca A. road Is made
the better. Independent Of that . great say.
Ing can be made in the coDstruetiOn of the
road on account OF the distance being eleven
miles shorter to Oiessa than 1t would be
were It built TO higginsville from Holden,
snd the route Is more practicable, because
Of the grade being better. The committee
on subscriptions reported about $25 600
raised and that no subscriptions for a less
amount than $500 has been taken. The com.
mittoe on the righl.of.way also reported.
stating that with the exception Of q few In.
stances where lands are owned by nOn-resi.
dents. the right-Of-way had been granted
south OF Holden to the Cass county line.
Judge Waters went from here to his home

about ten days. In the meantime the com.
mtttess will push forward thu work assigned
them with renewed energy, having every as
sursncs that they will have but little difficult
