wrote to General Wayman, aud in
the letter minated that Texas
would place an embargo against the
state of California which would
keep out all passengers and freight,
if something were not done to pre-
vent further spread of the plague.
Thena synopsis of the commlsslon's
report was given out to the governor,
and he Immediately wired Washing

THE TROLLEY RAILROAD

On last Sunday afternoon Gen.
F. E. Myles hnd Mr. J. N. Halle
hurst, of New Orleans, took the
east bound passenger train from
this place. FIN an interview with
the gentlemen the IBERIAN re
porter gathered the following in
teresting information:
Gen. Myles said "the trolley
70 d is an assured thing-it will
certainly be built" He and Mr..
Hazlehurst, the latter is the con-
sultins engineer, had just compile
ted a trip over the entire proposed
route from Morgan City to this
place. No real difficulties were
found anyN here along the line. -.
There il a probability that the
road will be extended across the
Teche at CharentOn to the Shell
| Banks on Grand Lake. This place
is now being developed as a popu-
lar pleasure resort, and with the
facilities of trolley transportation
it II be the summer resort of
great numbers of the people of
this entire section, and will greatly
increase the passenger traffic of
the road
1t is estimated that the road
will cost S1,0O0,0G0 to construct
and fully equip. A road costing
| so much to build must do a large
| passenger business in order to
prove a paying investment. There
is. no lack of confidence however
along this line Of the promoters
They expect that the road will
prove itself to be SO great a con-
vellence to the people that it will
serve that It's passenger revenue
will equal So per capita Of the
population III the territory tribu
tary to the road. 1t is cited that
trolly roads draws above 50 PEI
capita from the population of New
Orleans. Many other cities, the
per capita is higher.
/ 1t would be hard to find popu
lous section of country where Z
trolley line is more needed. anG
where the future was as bright
for such a necessity and convent
ence than in this Attakapas coun
try.
The question of the site for tie
Ipower-house, round house and ma
chine shops has not yet been de
finitely decided. Several bids arc
in for this local advantage. Cen
trail points along the line of course
have the best show for these fea
lures. The new site of the Han
son mills, at Garden City, is ad
|mittfdly fine location for them
and that place is in the competition
for them. The whole question
hinges on the fuel problem. This
Is an important factor in the sue
cessful operation Of the road The
possibilities of Oil fuel would have
but little value to the road beyond
the possible cheapening of the re
fuse from the great saw mills d
this section.
