Several townships aad small cities
on the line to greenfield have donated
sums of money to aid the company,
besides giving franchises and right OF
way. In all nearly 100000 mas been
received by the company from these
sources. Three different routes were
surveyed to avoid paying exorbltant
prices for trackage rights. If property
holders refuse to sell reasonably the
company changes its route to another
survey.

OF the island Is almost completely

one seventh of its surface is covered

hut in two respects Iceland is more
