State Board of Railway Construction Make
 Proposition to Little Rock Citizens.
 At masss-meeting of business men held at Little Rock. Gov. Jones. on be- half of the state board of railway con- struction, made formal proposition, the substance of which was, that if the citizens of Little Rock would donate the sum of S75, ,000. the board would immediately enter into a contract with a syndicate of St Louis capitalists that would enable them to begin work on the proposed state road, to run through the northwestern portion of the state to the Missouri state line, where con nection would be made with a line leading into St. Louis. Already several counties through which the road is to be built have raised cash subscriptions, to be used in making the survey, be- sides giving assurance of donations of lands for right-of-way and other pur- poses. The governor stated that all the board required of the citizens was sufficient funds to locate and make . survey of the proposed road, which was absolutely necessary, as the legislature had appropriated no funds to be used by the board in arranging the details incident to actual construction. He read the proposed contract between the state board and the St. Louis capital ists, in which the latter agree, after the state has completed roadbed, to furnish the necessary funds to equip the road with rolling stock and all appliances, taking as security 6 per cent. first mort gage bonds of the road.
