interest on say $1,000 of bonds, at 81
per cent, would be $4,000; expenses,
repairs, etc, say 5000; total, 81, 900. We
have a net income of I'll, 1862.
Now, to see whether the Santa Fe can
see her way clear to pay this S30,562 per
year, take for instance on n car of bran to
Chicago, 10000 pounds, the freight is
eighteen cents, or S72.OO per car, and she
allows one-fourth of this to go to her
bridge rental. She receives, net, S54.C0
per car, as well as secures the business
where h now cannot hope to get 1T.
This cert ainly pays the Santa Fe. Why?
Because the Missouri Pacific Ky. Co. will
charge the same eighteen cents rate from
Lexington to Chicago, and out of this she
will not get but ten cents per 100 pounds,
or $4,000 per car, while the Missouri
Pacific Ry. Compauy's connecting line at
st. Louis gets the other, or eight cents
per 100 pounds, thus showing that after
the Santa Fe allows one-fourth of the
rate for bridge she still gets Sli.OO MOI
per car than the Mo. p. Ry. Now, let us
take a car of flour to Houston, Texas.
hc aha nc EtlN an tii' idul. vi ou a
thirty five cent rate of 10000 pounds
5000 per car. Say one-fourth off 10

or any other point where water naviga-
ton exists, to points on Santa Fe rails
Take a car, 20,CC0 pounds, to San Antonio.
Forty-five cents rate so cooper car. Tt
Santa Fe gets say thirty-five cents, their
Texas connection, ten cents per Inc
pounds; the net amount the Santa Fe
gets is $500, or one-fourth off for bridge,
is $56.25. Also take wheat to st. Louis
fifteen cents; to Chicago, twenty cents.
Now, all the railroads where there an

st. Joe may and should feel an ~interes,
in the building of our bridge, as if wouit

Capitalize the bridge company at say
sl0O, 900, shares 500 each. Citizens o.
Lexin gton take the stock. Bond the
bridge at s40O,0 900, say six per cents. Citi'
zens Of Lexington take 100000 of thu
bonds and issue them in 800 each, ant
up to II 900 each, as the subscriber may
elect to take them. Subscribers OF stool

some on these as security, or, in time
could sell them, il they so desired. Hav,
