The X. G. w. q Gulf Railroad.
A meeting is to be held in Col
fax to-day, to see if the people of
Grant parish are willing to aid in
building an extension of this rail-
way through the parish, en- route
from Pineville to the city of Shreve-
port The proposed line through
this parish will be about thirty
miles, which at the usual valuation
of $500 per mile will make the
assessment of the road not less
than $4,000, and more likely,
$500, 600. including telegraph lines,
depots, etc. On this the railroad
will have to pay 5000 taxes each
year. Now, it is said that under
the law we cannot remit the taxes
of the railroad, as is frequently
suggested. but they must pay it
The only way, therefore, to afford
them any aid is to give them right
of way through the parish and the
five mill tax asked for. They de-
sire to build the road, and propose
to do so; but without aid from the
people along the route, it may be
several years before they can ar
range to begin work If they can
get the assistance asked for, they
propose to begin work at once.
