It was to the effect that the office of tbe auditor Of the Texarkana and Fort Smith Railway headquarters at Texarkaua had been abolished asd the entire office fix 'es, records, etc, were ordered to Kansas City.

Colonel $. ". Fordyce Strongly Endorses the Gentlemen
 We are Dealing With

The City Council met in regular session Monday night, Mayor Pro Tenn Never presiding, and Aids. Boyce, Clement. Fox, Well and Wol- lernA ann present, and the following proceedings were had, to-wit:
 The minutes of previous meeting were read and approved.
 At this point Aid. Owen appeared and took bis seat in the Council.
 Aid. Fox reported the walk south of the bridge on Main street in bad repair, and recommended that the City Engineer be directed to attend to same.
 The bill oJ Dr. Troupe was present. ed md on motion referred to tlS Board of Public Affairs.
 At this point Mir. H. c. Wood re- quested permission to address the Council, which was granted. He spoke in substance as follows: He stated that he had interested Mir. Chas. Mckee and MT. Kuhn, of Pitts burg. in the building of an electric street railway and the purchase of the plant of the Light and Water Co.,, in this city; and at an informal meeting of the Council, some ten days ago, he had explained, in brief, what these gentlemen would expect from the city before investing the 1arge amount of money necessary to purchase these properties and build and equip an electric street Cdr line. One of the gentlemen interested, Mir. Kuhn, had been here aud inspected the Water and Light plant. and looked over the city. and had de- parted very well satisfied. He ex- pecttd that Mir. Mckee would arrive ere this time, and look over the street car end of the in yes tment, but he had been detained in Pittsburg and New York on important legal business. He felt assured that MT, Mckee would be here within the next week or ten days. and that he would lose no time in telling the people and Council what he would expect of them before investing his money and that Of his associates in an electric street railway, and the water and light plant of this city. He also felt assured that these gen. tlemen would require nothing un- reasonable from the city. and that the Council were able to protect it's interests in the passage of any ordi- nances that might be necessary to attain the end desired-cheaper light and the building of an electric street railway. Mr. Wood said he regarded it as unfortunate that his own motives and those of the gentlemen he had succeeded in inter esting in this matter had been brought into question by the incorporate asser- lions and criticisms of an afternoon newspaper, but did not believe these publications had succeeded in p-eju-
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1899-07-18

dicing the minds of the councilmen against an enterprise that meant so much for the present and future well fare of the city. Inasmuch, however, as these publications may have ex- cited doubt in the minds of some of the people of the city as to the character and financial standing of the gentlemen whom he in meas ure represented, he desired to read a letter from Col. 5. W. Fordyee-a gen tleman known and beloved by all the people of Pine Bluff-and which had just been handed him that alter noon by the gentleman to whom it was addret sed. MF. Wood here read a letter of inquiry from Mir. Arthur Murray, editor of the Press-EaRle, to Col. Fordyee, aud the latter's re- ply thereto, which follow:
