lie laLe Ol Jne haplu transit galway
| is hanging in the balance. Some time
ago heavy assessment on the stock was
levied, and very little of it has been
paid, so that large proportion of the
turns from the assessment were to have
been used in changing the line from mar
row to standard gauge. 1t is a self-evi-
dent fact that the line will never amount
to anything as narrow gauge road, but
the change will cost considerable money.
The directors are now considering
proposition made by Mr.. S. P. Jewett,
the receiver OF the line. Mr.. Jewett
proposes in brief to buy the line on five
years. time, paying for it its indebted
ness. II he takes it he will guarantee to
have the guage changed in twelve
months, and for five years after that he
will pay six per cent. on the road IS debt,
at the end of that time paying the debt
His proposal includes the proviso that
if the line is sold meanwhile he is 10 get
commission on the price. The pro-
posal is a good one apparently for all
concerned.
NO hAthhOND WAhs
It was rumored about town on Tues
day that the Terminal road and the
Southern Pacific people were at war
about the crossing which the former
wished to put in on the Yuma division
of the latter. The Southern Pacific
stationed switch engine on the cross
ing in question, and that was all the
war that was visible. Yesterday the
contracts arrived by which the Terminal
people agreed to assist in maintaining
signal tower at the crossing, and the
Southern Pacific Immediately withdrew
all opposition, and the crossing will be
put in today. The only point at issue
between the two companies was the
question about the signal tower.
The tower now at the crossing of the
Santa Fe with the Yuma division will
be altered go as to act on both crossings.
Machinery of the very latest design will
be used and every precaution taken for
the safety of passengers.
