CHANGE THE ROUTE

direct from Parsons thrcnsh Moa-
tana to Scammon. On account Of
this proposed change the work Of
construction will be delayed arc
the company has asked the Parsons
city council for an extension of the
franchise here.
The extension asked by Mr..
Rawlings is sixty days, but the
council amended the ordinance so
that this does not make any differ
ence In the time for the completion
of the line. The ordinance as
amended provides that the line
shall be completed and cars running
over the entire system within twenty
months from the date of the extern
sion which would be twenty months
from September 8, the extension
being from July 8 to September 8.
The people of Montana want the
line and submitted their claim to
Mr.. Rawlings. He told them that
if they would secure the right of
way from Montana to Scammon, ne
would then abandon the McCune
line and build through that terri.
tory. 1t is rumored that the people
of Montana and that territory have
secured this right of way without
cost TO the company and it will
probably be checked up to Mr..
Rawlings to keep his part of the
contract.
The Chanute council has alread,
granted this franchise, the onl,
town except Parsons, where the
extension has been asked. Thu
reason it is asked at these places i
that these are the two first towns te
grant the franchise and since tina
time Mr., Rawlings has been busy
securing franchises in other cite!
and towns along the line of the pro
posed route. These franchises have
been secured in all the towns II

proves obstreperous the road will Ia
built leaving Cherryvale off the line
