An application has been made by w.
T. Pritchard and others for a new con-
: cession for the Mexican Southeastern
, railroad. The original concession for
: tn road was granted in 1895 to Chi
cago and Cleveland, O., capitalists, but
they failed to construct the 100 kilo-
/ meters of road which they had
obliged themselves to do, and the con-
cessiOn was declaped forfeited by the
government in 1898. In addition to
the loss of the concession the company
also forfeited to the government 80, 900,
which they had deposited in the ma
tional treasury as guarantee that
the terms of the concession would be
, complied with. 1t was propos-
ed to build the road from q
: point on the National Tehaun-
, tepec railroad to the Guatemala bord-
err, and q considerable amount of grad
ing had already been done when the
: concession was declared forfeited. The
, company which has now applied for a
} renewal of the concession has ample
, capital for the carrying out of the pro-
, ject. The road would be an important
link in the Pan-American railway sys-
, tem.-Exchange.
