of the cross-cut. No. 9 shaft is full Of

An important objection urged against
the terminal railroad ordinance is the
method 1T provides for the admission OF
another road any time in the future. It

at all likely, the public thinks, that
roads already entering Duluth would
vote to admit another competitor for
lake business.
