Since The Citizen promulgated this
Interesting and important news, land
owners in the suburbs are putting up
their prices a notch or two, but several
gentlemen, who are known to be quite
handy with the figures, estimate that
all the ground the Albuquerque East
ern want can be purchased for consid-
erably less than $15, 900, while others,
who are equally smooth with the fig
ures, say that before right-of-way and
ground terminals are secured that 1t
will entail the expenditure Of twice
that amount.
No one knows at present, with any
degree of certainty, where ground will
be secured, but it is a fact that Presi-
dent Andrews, with Messrs. Myers,
Brooks and Stricken, a few months
ago looked over certain sections of
the city for depot site and ground for
terminals.
Acting on the suggestion of the city
press, Mayor Myers appointed w. S.
Strickler and G. l.. Brooks as members
Of the executive committee, with him.
self as a member and chairman of that
committee.
Mayor Myers was seen this after
noon and stated the line of action de-
termined upon relative to the selection
of terminal sites was that any coterie
of persons having a location that they
believe to be suitable shall present the
same in the form of a written proposal,
the same to be presented to h execu-
tive committee named above, who will
Immediately place it in the hands of
the railway company for full consid-
Grafton. The main point to be consid-
cred is the securing of the best site for
I the least money. Following this plan
Z there will be no terminal site commit
tees appointed.
