The east side site constitutes lands
located north of The Rio Grande wooden
mills, and represents, ali told, about
4S acres. Messrs. w. B. Childers and
J. Il. Saint have an option on the Gen
tile tract of 1874 acres, and this land,
with the others, have been assigned to
G. F. Myers as trustee.
The west side site constitutes
lands just beyond the old Wiley flour
mills, and represents about 200 acres.
Messrs. Reynolds, Clellan and the d..
b. Robinson estate donated considera-
BILE land of this site.
Although the estimates of the saw
mill site were submitted no action was
taken on this site, as General Manager
Hopewell and Chief Engineer Kenne-
dy, of the railway company, had ex-
pressed preference for either the east
or west side sites. In fact, the saw
mill site had already been decided to
the American Lumber company.
After the reading Of the propositions,
upon motion Of H.. b. Ferguson the
following conditions were added to
both propositions:
Eighth-That this proposition is
based on the understanding that the
main line of the Albuquerque Eastern
shall be built through Tijeras canyon
a indicated approximately by the pro.
file maps heretofore filed with the sec.
rotary of the territory.
The executive committee announced
that about $45 900 had already been
subscribed, but as there were others to
be seen this amount would %undoubted
ly be considerably increased.
II vas then moved and seconded that
the executive committee be authorized
to submit the two propositions as read
with the Ferguson amendment, to the
proper authorities of the Albuquerque
Eastern Railroad company. The mo
tion was carried.
This motion was followed by a vote
being taken on the east and west side
sites, and the former received 20 votes
to 16 who favored the west side.
Messrs. e. s. Slower, o. N. MarroI
and M. p. Stamm were named as
finance committee to authorize all ex
penditures and to o. X. all accounts
and bills before checks could be ISSUED
against the subscribed railroad funds
Ine meeting then adjourned, and the
following propositions were mailed to
Manager Hopewell at Santa Fe, who
is expected here tonight, and who will
leave tomorrow evening for Pittsburg,
Pa, where the propositions will be sub
mitted to the builders of the road for
their approval:
