States Attorney Alex. wilson's writ
ten opinion as 10 whether the
board had legal right to grant such
privileges was read by County Clerk

ingly the promoters of the interurban

In the meantime ii Is said they will
lose no time but will go ahead and
have materials placed on the ground

requirements that would be expect
ed of the company. Among them
we're a bond for the fufillment OF
the terms Of the order, a time limit
upon the construction of the road, a
round trip rate of % cents TO Mound
City or mounds and of 30 cents 10
Villa Ridge. 60 pound rails. and an

ed that he would like To have the
cars run down into the business part
OF Cairo. and suggested that the com
