DO any good, gave what they thought
they could afford, until the required
amount has about as good as been Sc
cured. Proceedings have been commenced
in the district court at Tecumseh TO have
the piece of land in question condemned
so that the board of appraisers, which
has already been appointed, can place a
valuation on the land and make the pur-
chase. All this has been done by the
citizens of Shawnee for the Rock Island
railroad, because the railroad company
wanted the land. As a recompense to
Shawnee the railroad company promises,
and the substance of their part of the
proposition is that they will enlarge the
railroad facilities and in every way pos
sible increase the opacity OF the rail-
read shops here.
If the citizens had laid down on the
pr OPPOSITION and refused to have anything
TO do with it, no telling what might have
happened. In talking it over at hrst
many predictions were made that the
shops might be removed from here and
located somewhere else. In fact, this ar
gument was used. and no doubt persuad-
ed many to subscribe to the fund when
they otherwise would have not.
But the methods of a railroad company
are sometimes incomprehensive and mys-
flying They require employees to keep
secret any knowledge or information they
generally affect the public 70 q more or
less extent-most generally more. The
public is left to gather impressions from
vague information impossible to conceal,
and which is also almost ALWAYS against
the railroads. In all other matters re-
garding railroad work it is the same way.
But when the company wants TO come
Ito possession of a piece of land. funds
to erect shops or something of the kind.
they are eager to make known what they
intend to do. When the coveted piece OF
ground is acquired. then the clam shen
is closed. While all this is mystifying,
the argument for it may be reasonable
enough
