WORKING an WICHITA.
Frisco and Rock Island May Plan a
Consolidation.

Wichita, Kan, Dec. mo sooner had
Civil Engineers AIbin and Wounder,
employees of the Frisco railway, return
ed to their headquarters at Springfield,
Ill, after being in Wichita several days,
during. which time they took bearings
for the making of blue print plans for
the company's park at this place, than
they were sent back to Wichita, this
time on an order to survye the terminals
of both the Frisco and Rock Island rail-
roads. The men worked all day yester-
day on the Frisco's holdings and this
morning survey of the Rock Islands
property will be made.
With the commencement of this work
the employees of the two roads are max
ing many specuiations as to what the
results will be. Said one: Il believe
roads and do the business through one
terminal Said another: "They can't;
there is too much business. The only
manner in which the two roads can
consolidate and transact the business of
the two companies successfully and
conveniently. is to use one terminal for
the freight department and the other
for the passenger business
A complete drawing of blue print
plans will be the result of the survey.
Everything belonging to the Rock Is
land and Frisco railroads within the
city limits is included in the survey.
side tracks, passenger stations, freight
depotS section houses, coal chutes, and
ali outbuildings, no matter how small.
In addition to these the ground owned
by the companies is being surveyed.
The instruction to the civil engineers
came from the general offices of the
Frisco. From that it would appear that
it was the Frisco instead of the Rock
Island which did the buying. Ever
since. a deal was made between the two
roads it has been the opinion of every
one that the Rock Island bought the
Frisco. When the surveys are COM
pleted the orders to the engineers cal
for blue print plans of the two ter
minals.
