Omaha daily bee., 1901-02-27
CRESTON CITY COUNCIL COY
Iowa Aldermen DO Not Enthusc over
the omaha Promoters EIec-
tric Road.

The Omaha promoters OF the Creston &
Winterset Electric Railway company did not
find everything smooth sailing at the coun-
ell meeting In Creston, that body absolutely
refusing to take any action toward the sub
mission of a proposition to vote bonds
q subsidy in favor of the proposed line.
The matter was arranged to the satisfaction
OF the promoters later. as they went out
and In two hours secured sufficient signers
to a petition for a vote to require the
mayor to call an election. The election was
called and will be held on March 20. The
Omaha men feel confident that the citizens
will vote the desired subsidy, which is esti-
mated at 10000. on the basis Of a 8 per
cent tax.
Lyman Waterman, manager of the new
company. says: "Macksburg is further from
any line of railroad than any other town
In the state OF Iowa. 1t Is the center of
one Of the richest agricultural portions Of
the state and its natural advantages arc
such that 1t will become one of the best
inland towns Of the state as soon as AL
equate communication is established with
other parts Of the country. The new line
will only operate between Winterset and
Creston. A story has been published in a
Des Moines paper to the effect that our
company Is to work with company which
trio line between Des Moines and winter
set. This is not the case. We are dis
tinctly free from all alliances and will
operate this road for the best interests OF
the company and the country through which
we pass.
I'VE have our capital all secured and as
soon as the elections are held In the coun-
| ties through which we pass the work OF
| laying the rails will commence. 1t is our
| present intention to place three trains on
the lire at the opening of the service. Two
OF these trains will probably bo for the
convenience of passengers and express and
the other for the carrying OF freight. These
trains will make the round trip in four
hours. giving nine trains each way over
| the line daily AS the requirements Of
the service demand the facilities will be
increased.
There is one thing not generally known.
and that Is that the opening up Of this ter
ritory will place within easy reach OF
Omaha some OF tho finest building stone
In the United States. Some OF this stone
| was used in the Iowa capitol at Des Moines
| and the Wnterset court house Is built of t..
When our trains get to running this stone
will become an important factor in the
| worl; of Omaha builders"
