FOR NEW RAILROAD
City Engineer Jackson Reports
Preliminary Survey
OF WlCHITAAND SOUTHERN
What Road Would Cost and
Its Benefit to Wichita.
Of WICHITA AND SOUTHERN

City Engineer Jackson submitted to
council last night report of his work
in making a preliminary survey Of the
proposed railroad which is to run from
Wichita to South McAalester, I. T.,
where it will connect with the NJ, K &
T. Mr. Jackson estimates that as soon
as the road is completed it will place
Wichita within 125 miles of an inexhaus-
tible supply Of coal, one ton of which is
equal to one and one-half tons of the
best Kansas coal. This COAL Mr.. Jackson
says, could be brought here for two
thirds the cost of Kansas coal. He esti-
mates that Wichita uses 10000 tons Of
coal per year and that a saving of $l.5O
per ton would be a clear profit of $780,
600 per year to the city. Mr.. Jackson also
calls attention to other advantages that
would accure to the city by the con-
struction of such a road, among which
are the great field it would open up to
jobbers here and the increase of popula-
tion and consequent increase of business
for retail dealers, Mr.. Jackson says the
population of Wichita viii double and
may become three times the present num-
Der in ten years if the Wichita and
Southern is built. His report is inter
esting and follows in full:
Wichita, Kan, Dec. 26, 1899.
Honorable Mayor and Council Of the City
Of Wichita:
Gentlemen-I beg leave to make the
following report:
In accordance with the request Of your
honorable body, on the 9th Of November,
1899, I started on a reconnaissance to Sc
lect a route for the Wichita and South
ern railroad from Wichita to South Nc
Alester, in the Indian Territory
On this reconnaissance a careful nota-
ton was made of the attitudes of all di-
vides, valleys, river bottoms and any sud
den change of the general contour of the
route traversed; also noted water at low
stage and at food times, in creeks and
rivers, with their widths, for the purpose
Of estimating the amount of bridging re-
quired.
From this information the topograph-
zeal profile has been made, giving very
reliable data for an approximate estimate
Of the cost of construction or a nrst class
railroad from Wichita to South McAles-
ter. This estimate includes all that would
be required in the construction Of such
road, and also includes the amount Of
equipment and cost of Same at date nee
essary to commence business.
The route selected, as indicated on the
tracing, is reasonably direct and will ira
verse a territory( after leaving Kansas
wholly unoccupied by any other railroad
and will enable the jobbers of Wichita
to reach a country by a direct route
which they are now absolutely barred
from entering, as all our jobbers well
know.
This road when constructed will place
Wichita within 125 miles of an inexhaust-
ible supply of coal, equal to the best Colo
