Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-09-13

The anxiety about the fate of the Fort
Worth and Albuquerque road in Fort
Worth is growing greater, and as time
passes on inquiries as to the progress be-
ing made by those who have the matter
in hand are made every hour in the day
THE GAZETTE, after careful investiga-
ton into the status of the enterprise,
can now state that IN order to complete
ten miles of the road, tie and iron it
and place train of cars on, SEQ 900 or
SO, 200 is needed. or this amount S25, =
OyJ has been subscribed on the bnsis of q
stock company being formed of Fort
Worth people who will operate the road
IN the interest of this city, the idea be-
ing, so il is said, TO complete the first ten
miles and then arrange for the
further extension of it, which can
no doubt be done by bonding the
completed portion for money enough to
complete ten miles more, and the second
ten miles for enough to make further ex-
tension. In this way the road could be
pushed to the coal fields OF Jack county
IN little while, and if the amount nee
ssssry TO complete the first ten miles is
raised II is proposed to have a tram of
cars running that distance within ninety
days from the day the amount is raised.
good start has been made, and there is
hardly doubt that IL the enterprising
people of the city would get together the
needed amount would be secured i'll quite
short time.
II has been suggested, and the SUCCESS
ton s undoubtedly splendid one, that
