Mr.. TAYLOR DENIES.

Regarding the statement that at the
Doard of trade yesterday threats We're
made to move the Cotton Belt shops
from this city Mr.. J. M. Taylor, the
attorney for the road, says:
= al'''During all of the time when Mr..
Green and I were with the members
of the board of trade in the meeting
Yesterday the Cotton Belt shops were
not mentioned and no such threat
was made either in public or private.
From Mr.. Green's talk of yesterday
anyone could see that the city OF Pine
Ruff does not have to force the Cot
ton Belt to do anything, and railroad
superintendents are not in the hapit
of making idle threats. The Cotton
Belt is not. considering the advisable
ity of moving the shops and the mat
fer was not mentioned during Mr.,
Green's visit to the city,
+ what said was this: The advice
riven by Judge KerWin was i'll timed,
because if the Cotton Belt should be
compelled to Or should see proper
upon It's own motion to pay the school
hoar3! the penalty of $4,000 provided
for Ia the contract with the citizens
committee it would leave the railroad
without obligation to maintain its
shops and depots at Pine Bluff as
provided for III the contract. The Cot
ton Belt could we'll afford to pay such
! 2 sr2all sum for the advantage it
would thereby gain over the people OF
/ the town. This statement was made
from the STANDPOINT of a citizen and
| q member of the board of trade and
not as railroad attorney
Mr.. Taylor thinks the matter has
been given too much publicity and
that efforts are being made to scare
the citizens over nothing.

WILL BUILD FREIGHT DEPOT JAP LOSS is ALSO REPORTED

While in the city listening to the
complaints of the board of trade with
reference to the establishment of the
beer depot on the property of the Cot
ton Belt railroad, Superintendent W.
+. Green of that road settled the Cot
ton Belt depot question for all time
cerned.
I'VE are not going to build a new
depot on the site of the old one" said
Mr., Green, "for the simple reason that
there is not room enough to build a
larger depot on the lot without dis
turbing the commercial interests OF
the whole city. The warehouse, grain
houses and other business firms have
their spur tracks and regular tracks
across the property On the road Oh
Third avenue and new depot would
have to be built right across these
tracks The Cotton Belt has tried for
over a year to get options on property
in the west end of the city for the pur
pose of locating the passenger sta
ton in that part Of the city. but the
property owners have doubled aud
tripied the values as soon as depot
is mentioned"
Another freight depot will be built
Oh the long lots ON Third avenue be-
tween Alabama and State streets to
accommodate the freight traffic, and
the passenger depot will be allowed
to stay where it is.
Superintendent Green left last night
in his private car for ST. Louis.
