ton to Be Built With Wind.
Special to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, Aug. 31.-An electrical
railway TO be known as the Houston
and Galveston Terminal Railway and
Suburban Improvement company is
projected. From the prospectus just
issued it is stated that the purpose OF
the company is to build a firstclass
railroad with electrical and steam
equipment between Houston and Gal
weston with terminal facilities in each
city, also for the purpose of develop
ing the lands along the line
for a distance of two miles
upon either side of the track.
Two routes are proposed. The
first it is estimated would yield the
company 10000 acres of land at cost
of 81 .OOU, 900 of stock. The second
would Weld the railroad company
from sc, 600 to 0,000 acres Of land at a
cost of about $600,000 of stock. The
basis is that the property owners
along the line selected shall subscribe
to the railway one-half Of the land
that shall come within the emile
limit upon either side of the track.
The value of such land to be hxed by
appraisers and to be paid for IN nom
assessable stock of the railway and
suburban improvement company.
The land feature adjusted upon TINS
basis. the company will then ask the
citizens of Houston and Galveston to
subscribe 5000, 600 OF the capital STOCK
of the company to be paid in cash or

able, and completed and in operation

Stations are to be established every
two miles and the cost OF operating
the line by electricity is placed at $lo00
per day while the receipts are placed
at 1875 per day. 1t is also claimed
that in addition to the above the road
would earn about $200,0U0 per annum
for the use of its tracks by the five
railroads which enter Houston that
own no track into Galveston. Inc
projectors of the enterprise say they
have received very flattering, assur-
ances from all parties along the pro-
posed line and from CAPITALISTS here
