respondent that If permitted the Texas and
New Orleans Railroad company would
build considerable new track in this State
during this year. Explanations were not
asked, but the expression III permtttedp
as used by Mr.. Van Week Is construed
to mean that in the event the Legislature
granted the Texas and New Orleans rail-
road authority to absorb the Sabine and
East Texas, the Louisiana Western exten-
sion and the Texas Trunk railroads that
the Sabine and East Texas would be ex-
tended northwest to connection with the
Texas Trunk, thereby giving Beaumont AN
