Has Valuable Equity.

Now that the Grundy county tax OF 3
per cent has been voted the company
has a valuable equity that is assumed
by the public. This equity is an asset
that will prove an attraction to any
financing and constructing company,
and assures the building OF the road.
In Grundy county practically the entire
right of-way is donated free Of charge.
The valuation of the property in Mar
shalltown, upon which a 3 per cent tax
has been voted. is s1.7s4.21l. making
the tax here amount to s5S,526.33. In
Grundy Center the taxable valuation of
the property is s301,413. yielding tax
of ss.042.ss.
In Palermo township, outside of
Grundy Center. the property valuation
is $372,454, and the tax s11,173.62. In
Conrad the valuation is s104,446, yield
ing $3,133.3S. Beaman's valuation of
property is $2S.753, and yields in tax
$s62.59. Clay township, outside OF Con-
rad and Beaman has $340,662 in prop
erty valuation, and yields $10,219.S6.
The total amount of tax, which is now
in the shape of public equity, and
payable providing the company con-
str1lcts and has in operation it's line by
Dec. 81, 1906, is sST,95S.17.
1t is now up to General Manager Fer
rim and J. G. White & Co, the latter of
New York, to proceed with the building.
A part of the work should be completed
by fall, and undoubtedly will be. III. j.
Douds, of New York, commercial en-
gineer for ]. G. White & Co., is expect
ed to arrive In the city any day. to close
up the matter. Mr.. Ferrin expects that
the work on the survey win be begun
very soon, and also that the company
will commence very soon the work of
placing the right of-way under deed.
An interesting coincidence in the
closing up of the tax matters of the
company Is that one year ago Mon
day, at 10 o'clock In the morning, Mr..
Ferrin closed the contract for the
financing and construction of the Iowa
from Davenport to Clinton. This line
will be in operation by September OF
this year. The course pursued there was
identical with that employed with the

Tie success of the Ms,rshalltown
Company's plans, in building an cleo
trio line between Marshalltown and
Grundy Center, via Conrad and Bea-
man, is now assured. The special cleo
ton, held in Clay and Palermo town
ships, Grundv county, Monday resulted
in victory for the tax. Each township
was carried by a big majority. altho the
vote in Palermo was lighter than ex-
pected. In that township, however, the
sentiment was so largely in favor of the
proposition that the supporters did Il It
consider that there was a contest on.
The majority in favor Of this tax was
almost three to one.
It was estimated in news story,
published in these columns Saturday
evening, that the tax would carry two
to one in e,lch township. This esti-
mate is proved by the figures to have
been very conservative. The opposition
either failed TO muster its forces in a
concerted action or else decided that
the task Cf beating the PROPOSE
ton was a hopeless one. and made no
strenuous effort to beat the tax. The
vote In Grundy Center ard Palermo
township was 3S2. with 252 Cor the tax
and Is against it. Five ballots were
defective. This gives the tax a major
ity of 1T, or little better than three
to one. In Clay township, in which
Conrad and Beamcn are situated, there
were two polling pla ces. one at Conrad
for the western hail Of the township,
and the other at Beamon for the east
ern half. Conrad cas-, total Of %
votes in favor of the tax, as against 43
against. Four ballots We're spoiled.
This gives even Conrad. considered by
some to have been doubtful majority
of 40, or better than two to one. In
Bearnan the total vote n favor of the
tax was a, as against q who were OPP
posed to the tax being levied. Seven
defective ballots were counted in this
precinct. With majority of SO the
Beaman and eastern Clay township
vote was about two and one-nalf to
one. The total vote cast. which was
counted in favor of the interurban tax
was AL. as against 145 not in favor Of
the tax. This makes the total majority
In the two townships 276. or almost
three to one.

REGULAR RUNS AGAIN

Northwestern Will Place Conductors
and Brakemen on Old System
Again.
Northwestern passenger train crews
are to have regular runs again, an
order to that effect having been issued
Monday. Just when the new order
will go into effect is not known, but
the prospects are that the runs Will
soon be bulletined and the same sys-
tenn as has heretofore been observe |
will again govern the crews. The only
change to be made is that there will
be fewer crews employed, the three
youngest crews being taken off. This
will not affect the number OF runs,
but the same work will be done by
fewer crews, with more mileage. The
return to the old system will gener-
ally satisfy the train crews. who have
