ago the supreme court of Kansas de-

suited. This has been done throughout
the State of Kansas, and had the de-
cision been the reverse, it would have
involved thousands of cases and almost
endless litigation. Yet only in one
state in the union has supreme court
rendered a similar decision. while in
more than dozen others the supreme
courts have given decisions just the Ie-
verse to that of Kansas.

Just as soon as the prellminaries are
arranged after congress grants it au-
thority. At least two important railway
systems can be relied upon to make
use of the bridge when completed, if
not three.
