protecting that road and keeping ont
competition II wants to obtain grasp
upon the Big Pass, the only outway from
Dickinson county into Kentucky. with
out any limit as to the time in which the
road is TO be constructed and placed IN
operation in this State.
Mr.. Moore subsequently spoke vigor-
ously in defence of the measure and in
opposition TO an amendment introduced
bv Mr. Williams, providing that a rail
road shall be protected when 1t has 50
located its line through such pass as not
TO uDreasonably obstruct or prevent the
location OF another railroad therein,
when 1t is reasonably practicable to do
so. claiming that It was merely a need
less yerDiage. Mr.. Williams IN re-
Spouse claimed that paper railroads, got
ten mp for speculative purposes, would
hinder the development OF that section
by companies vino propose going right
TO work. The three C's road hasn't laid
n mile of track or even surveyed for 1t
south OF this pass, but IN order to iasten
its tslons upon 1t has started IN there to
do little grading.
Mr.. Hubbard opposed the amendment.
Mr.. Mills thought that the measure
was an attempt to debar the South At
lantic and Ohio railroad from passing
through this gap as contemplated by Its
projectors.
