ARE CIRCULATED.
Action in Support of The New
R. r. Practically Unanimous.
TAXPAYERS ARE SIGNING UP.

Although the time Vas short for
getting a crowd, the railroad meeting
at the Commercial Club rooms Mon
day evening was we'll attended. there
being about forty citizens present.
The meeting was called to order by
c. V. Brinkman, who stated its OF
ject, and one of the petitions to be
presented to the city council was read.
Mr.. Brinkman and others stated in
support of the proposition to vote
bonds that the community would be
vastly benefited in the way of freight
rates on wheat and its products to
the Gulf, as we would doubtless
secure a much lower rate than at
present, which is 81 cents, and is
really made up of the local car load
rate from Great Bend to Kansas City,
and from Kansas City to Galveston.
In addition, while the voting or
bonds would entail slight additional
burden on the taxpayers, it would D.
the end materially benefit thenL as 1t
would add thousands of dollars worth
of additional taxable property TO the
roll.
After some discussion as to the
interest rate and what we should de-
mand from the company in the way of
terminals, ETC., it was voted that the
chair appoint a committee OF one
from each watd to circulate the petit
tons asking the council to call the
special election. The committee as
appoint ed is Coe Russell, w. P.
FEEDER, Geo. w. Thatcher, and VIM.
