IA RAILROAD MEETING
CALLED FOR MONDAY
An Effort Will Be Made to Straighten
Out Vinitas Contract With the
vinita & Western

There was but slight attendance
at the meeting Of the guarantors of
the railroad bonus in the rooms of the
Commercial club yesterday afternoon.
No definite action was taken except
that decision was reached to have d
general meeting Of all the signers of
bonus notes Monday afternoon at
O'Clock In the Commercial club. AT
this meeting the notes signed to Hem
derson, and which are now outlawed,
will be returned to the signers, and
steps will be taken to secure, If pos
sible, possession Of the right of way
thru the city and of the grade which
Henderson built nine miles north of
town.
1t will be remembered that bonus
OF S34, 900 was raised for Mr.. Hender-
son. OF this amount less than 81, 600
was paid In. The payment Of the
bonus to Mr. Henderson was guaran-
teed by Oliver Bagby, l.. b. Bell and
J. w. Orr, and some forty citizens
signed with them as joint guarantors.
Some $4,000 was advanced to Mr. Hen
dcrson by the committee, OF which
about $4,000 was spent in securing the
right of5way thru the city, and the
balancs in paying for the nine miles
ofright Of way north from the city.
The right Of way IN the city Is still
held by Oliver Bagby, trustee never
having been turned over to sMr. Hem

1t is felt that the offer Will be an at
tractive one for any railroad that may
care to accept the offer.
These questions, however, viii be
thoroly gone over at Mondays meet
ing. 1t is important that all the note-
signers be present, and take what
action seems necessary towards secur-
ing this right Of way in their name as
a permanent railroad bonus.

resumed on the road between that
village and Cazenovia soon. The
