Msssrs. W. J. Roberts. J. W. Duncan G. n. Car
nahan. Council Committee OF City OF Coifax:
Gentlemen - We telegraphed you
this afternoon, in reply to your tele-
gram of this morning, as follows:
ave will handle the seven thousand
feet of lumber, to be used in improve
ments on part OF city, from Phillips
to Colfax, free of charge"
You will appreciate that above is
an unusual exception. and must not
be construed az precedent for future
cases. We certainly want to see i'm
provements in each and every town
on our road, but at the same time it
would work a hardship to move ma
terial Cor improvements without some
compensation. However, you will
find thatwe are always ready to meet
you half way in such improvements,
solar as transportation is concerned.
Respectfully.
CLARENCE ELLERBE,
G. F. A., per E. C. d. M.
