ENGINEER ON GROUND
70 LOCATE PERMANENT RIGHT
OF WAY FOR P. 3. NORTH
AND SOUTH ROAD.
About Two Weeks Will Be Required
for Engineer to Be Ready to
Make Report.

The interesting Information has
just leaked out that the Pine Bluff
North and South railroad company
has an engineer now on the ground
with a view of locating the permanent
route of the proposed new line from
this city south.
It is said that about two weeks will
be required in which to make a report.
when the locating engineer will rec
ommend to the board of directors the
route to be taken by the road.
While not doing much talking for
publication. it is understood that the
Pine Bluff North and South people
are steadily formulating plans for
their new line, and when once matur-
ed will push the work to completion
1t is impossible yet to tell just what
particular section of country the line
will penetrate, as everything depends
upon the forthcoming report of the 10
eating engineer; but the general un-
derstanding on the part of the public
is that it will run from this place to
Warren, and be extended to some
northern terminus The intermedi-
ate territory to be traversed is yet in
doubt.
