PENNINGTON EXTENSION.
Right of Way Difficulties Are Settled
At Last,

Pau & Pau have retained from LIE
Sueur Center, where they appeared for
the Milwaukee road in an action to
secure title to certain land in Kasota
needed for right of way purposes, by
condemnation. Attire the trial of the
case had gotten under way an adjust
ment was reached and the trial was
discontinued This winds up the
right of way troubles on the Farming
ton extension.
Grading operations for the extension
have been seriously delayed by the
wet season, necessitating the laying
off of the men several times and the
replacing offs fiji that had been washed
out. 1t is expected that the Farming
ton extension will be completed late
in the fall, so that trains can run
from Mankato to st. Paul.
The Milwaukee road has contracted
to deliver all the sugar beets raised
around LIE Sueur Center, which means
that it will have the road in operation
as far as LIE Sueur Center before cold
weather.

FRANCHISE HAS EXPIRED.
Street Railway Deal Is Now Dead
Beyond Resurrection.

The franchise granted last spring by
the council to the Mankato and st.
Peter Railway and lighting company
expired yesterday under the provision
that the company should, within four
months after the passage and publica-
tion of the ordinance granting the
franchise. and its acceptance there
of, commence active construction of
its street railway and electric light
plant. No work was ever commenced
by the company, and the. deal is now
definitely off. 1t is safe to say that
public sentiment will not uphold the
granting of such liberal terms on the
part OF the city again.
