number of miles within the state of
Kansas, the authorities of that state
have notified the road that its general
offices must be removed to Kansas.
Now the fun begins, Missouri author
tiles have notified the road that if the
offices are removed from the state the
road will be enjoined from doing bust
ness in Missouri and it's charter for
feited.
