way, yesterday. Mr.. Parrot said that
MIR. Flagler and his engineers made a
thorough inspection of the proposed
route where it leaves the main line
through TO the terminus at Key West
The surveyors who have been at work
for some time making soundings and
mapping out the most feasible route
submitted their reports in detail, and
IL was found tat the cost of the work
will greatly exceed the original esti.
mate made by the railroad officials
when the matter was first brooched
However. the reports of the engineers
were deemed very satisfactory, and
this much may be said, that if the peo-
pie of Key West and the people of
Florida meet certain conditions pro-
posed by the railway company the ex-
tension may be accomplished. It is
recognized that the undertaking is one
Of the most stupendous of its kind
ever planned by any railway interests.
If the requirements are met and the
work begun there is no doubt that it
