Il hope the mayor wont sell that

The reports about the favorable pros
poets of the White Oaks road continue
TO accumulate, and w. a Hawkins is
the last man TO say it is 90. Mr.
Comfort of the Mexican Central in re
ferring to the project this morning
said that if some big corporation like
the Rock Island was back of the scheme
it would no doubt be put through al

the Rock Island could use the line not
only for local development purposes,
but for through business. However
if new corporation tried alone to
build the White Oaks line, the Santa
Fee would be sure to parallel it, and
then where would it be?
