| that Company has ample capacity to
handle any traffic In that direction, and
| the Eastern capitalists feel that the
withholding Of this payment under the
circumstances, will indicate loss OF
that feeling of friendship and common
interest between themselves and the
citizens of Wheeling, which has encour-
aged them in their liberal action hereto
fore.
much stress has been laid on the
matter Of
TRAFFIC AND PASSENGER ARRANGE
MENTs
not having been made with lines con-
Meeting with the Terminal Company,
when the facts are that the work is
| still incomplete in many details neces-
sary for handling anything but switch
ing work, and that no special arrange
ments will be necessary TO enable any
| railway to come in and make use OF the
Terminal Company's system, which Is
simply toll property and required oy
its agreement to make the same rates
and give equal facilities to all railways
connecting with it, and these rates Will
be duly published when the Iarminai
system is open for business.
"The question as to what charges can
be legally made for business over the
Wheeling Terminal system and over the
Ohio river bridge, is one wholly OUTSIDE
Of the question as to the liability OF ONO
county for the payment new due the
| Terminal Company, as the rates OF
| charges are not mentioned among the
things requisite to the payment OF the
Ohio county subscription, which are:
first, that the Terminal Company shall
have expended at least four hundred
thousand dollars on the construction OF
the Ohio river bridge, and shall have
completed said bridge and the Wheeling
hill tunnels; second, that the Terminal
Company shall have expended at least
three hundred thousand dollars in the
terminal system in Ohio county, and
third, that a new railroad shall have
been constructed, ready for the passage
of trains from the bridge to Bowerston..
Whatever rights as to rates to be charged
over the bridge or over the terminal
system Ohio county has under its agree
ment Of subscription will remain the
same after the final payment as before,
and it has not the right to enforce any
agreement as to rates until it has COM
pleted its part of the agreement by pay
ing the monies agreed to be paid to the
Terminal Company when certain work
had been done and certain expenditures
made by the Terminal Company.
1.-THE charges heretofore made for
the small amount Of business done over
the incomplete system have been made
by the Terminal Company as the agent
of tho Wheeling and Eastern Improve
ment Company, contractors for the con-
structlon of the line, and from whom
the Terminal Company have not as yet
ACCEPTED or TAKEN OVER
the line as completed. This business
has been done thus far at loss, while
the line was under construction, for the
accommodation of certain shippers loca-
ted on the Terminal system, who had
no other railway connections to their
works, and who were quite willing to
pay such charges in advance OF the reg
ular opening OF the system for perma-
nent business, and the citizens OF Wheel
ing will find the Terminal Company as
willing to meet any fair question of
rates when open for regular business,
as they have always been in meeting and
carrying out all their agreements re-
garding the construction Of the Bridge
and Terminal system"
