A Proposition From the Railway.

Some time ago MT. J. A. Naugle assistant general manager of the So- nora and N. M. & A. railways sub mitted to the town board propOsi tion with reference to getting title to the townsite, straightening the streets and improving the town gen erally. The following is a substance of the proposition: The railway company would give free of charge the services of competent engineer to do the surveying, would take up the track in front of the ice works and throw lt over the other side of the building, making a needed widening of Morley avenue at that end of the town, the company giving land from it's right of way in order to do so. To protect from overflow property at the lower end of the fiat the arroyo would have to be walled up, and the railway com pany would put in a spur track along the arroyo, while the construction work was in progress, and then haul free Of charge from the quarry-some distance north of town--all the rock used, which would save more than one thousand dollars in construction of the wall. In return for these con- sessions the company asks the town to convey to the corporation neces- sary track and building room on the flat The town board have requested MT. Naugle to designate the area wanted

every nine years. on mn average, and
every year timber amounting TO 26O,-

this purpose. Nearly all the timber is
cut from the largest and finest trees
The annual expenditure on this work is
estimated at about S7.000000
