THREE MILLIONS.
The Sum Set Aside by the
Santa Fe
For Improvements In Kansas
This Year.
BIG N U BUDGET.
submitted by General Manager
Nudge
Who Expects the Money to Be
BIG ANNUAL BUDGET
Who Expects the Honey to Be
Duly Furnished.

The Santa Fe expects to spend three
million dollars in improvements in
Kansas this year.
1--WE have under consideration a
number of improvements for Kansas, -
said General Manager H. U. Nudge to
a reporter for The State Journal today,
"aggregating an expenditure of three
millions of dollars in round figures.
These improvements include a large
amount of stone ballast IN the oil dis
trict in southern Kansas, but the larg-
est items are for completing double
track on the Ottawa cuu-on and be-
tween Florence and Newton, and cut
ting down some OF the hills. I ave
submitted my annual budget for i'm
provements and it is understood that
money from the sale of bonds recently
authorized will be Forthcoming. How
ever. rumors of hostile legislation are
being sent east and I understand the
budget will not be approved until the
legislature ~adjourns-
"While we KanSans are not worried
as to the matter, believing as we dc that
the legislature will do nothing to injure
the industry that pays out more wages
and taxes than any other industry in
the state, still eastern investors are
timid and are not disposed to pay par
for bonds or to furnish money for i'm
proyements on lines that are advertised
tackled by hostile legislation. 1 have
no doubt but that the money will be
furnished in due lime
4'These improvements will enable
us to handle our livestock business
with better satisfaction to the ship
single track if h money is not forth
coming"
