ACTION OFF THE coTroN EXCHANGE,
The Directors Are in Favor of the
Katy Consolidation BILL.

The Directors Are i'm Favor of the
Knty Consolidation Dill.
A special meeting OF the board OF d.
rectors of the Houston Cotton Exchange
was held Monday to discuss the Katy con-
solidation bill and other matters to come
before the Texas legislature this week.
After full and free discussion 1t was
decided that the representatives from
Harris county be asked to do everything
possible to aid the passage of the Mis-
souri,. Kansas and Texas consolidation
bill, and the secretary OF the exchange
was requested to write letter to Messrs
Browne and Kittrel to that effect. 1t
was the opinion of the directors that the
consolidation of the Katy with the Sher-
man, Shreveport and Southern railway
would be for the best interests OF the
State, and that the house should follow
the lead of the senate in passing this bill
The claim that 1t would result in the fur
ther extension of an important line, and
the bringing together OF two lines which
the Cotton Exchange directors do not
consider parallel in any sense OF the
word, In taking this action they impress
upon the representatives addressed that
no manner of disrespect for the governor
is intended. and that no reflection upon
MS action or motive is INTENDED TO pc IN
dulged in They simply hold that diff
ference of opinion as to the legal status
exists. and that in no event could the
interests Of the State suffer by reason of
the passage of the bill.
In regard to the measure now before
the house Of representatives looking to a
grant of the States rights (f any it has)
to certain land. water front. on Gal
weston island TO c. p. Huntington, the
t,,fr etp IL
ton. They hold that in no event has the
State a right under the law to make such
a grant. as is sought to be obtained, to
any private person or corporation. even
should the States interests be so well
established as to be beyond dispute They
hold, further. that in the event the State
has no claim to the land in question that
II can not be held to have a valid right
TO grant quit claim to what 1t has no
interest in--nor should a necessity exist
for any quit claim under the circum
stances of ownership.
