ASKS LOAN OF 100000.
l.. Gerlinger Submits Proposition to
Extend Railroad from Dallas
to Salem.

L. Gerlinger has submitted a propo-
sition to the City of Salem to extend
the Dallas and Falls City railroad to
that city. He asks loan of 100000
payable in eight or ten years, to be Sc
cured by a blanket mortgage on the
whole road from Salem to the Falls
City depot According to the Salem
Statesman, the text of the proposition,
is as follows:
"Our present line from Dallas to
Falls City is about ten miles in length
and cost us considerably above $780,
900. We figure that the Salem end, in
the manner we would want to build
and equip it, would cost us at least
S12O,OOO All we ask of your city is a;
free right of way, West Salem to
Derry, fifty to sixty feet in width,
probably less than that if the line
passes through something valuable,
then forty feet would have to do;
enough ground at West Salem for
terminals and yards, round house,
etc, and loan of $4,000 for eight or
ten years at per cent interest, same
payable semi-annually at any Salem
bank or wherever you may decide.
'To secure this loan Of 100000 we
would be willing to give you blanket
mortgage on the whole road, West
Salem to Falls City depot, a distance
of about twenty-four miles This loan
can certainly be regarded as gilt-edge,
as it is only about 40 per cent Of the
value of the property, as you will
readily see that we, ourselves, have
more invested in the ten miles alone
than the loan amounts to.
'As to the earning capacity of the
road, 1 am satisfied that the property
can be made to pay handsomely,
otherwise, 1 would certainly not want
to build 1t and give our present ten
miles as security, as we are doing we'll
as it is. Our road now pays interest
on 100000, operating expense, main
tenance, and leaves a surplus for a
dividend on stock or a sinking fund" !"
Mr., Gerlinger made a second propo-
sition also, which provides that the
business men of Salem should make
him a loan of $1,000 per mile, thus
making it possible for him to extend
his line further to the westward if he
should so elect,
The former proposition seemed to
meet with favor, and the same COM
mittee that has had the matter in
hand was instructed to go ahead with
it and endeavor to raise the amount
necessary for the consummation of
the proposed project.
