Although the ralnstorm kept many
from attending, there was a reason
able number OF the orlglal mbscylb-
ers present at tho rlght-of-way meet
ing On the basement OF the Carson
building last night. jeff d., Bartlett,
president OF the Commercial club,
called the meeting to order and
stated the general purpose OF the
gathering Since the meeting was
to be independent OF the Commercial
club organization, Officers were elect
ed for the meeting and l.. o. T'homp-
son as chairman and C. u. Pash as
secretary took charge.
Secretary shireman then made a
concise statement OF the original plan
OF the right-oi-way proposition and
showed how the Commercial club
came to take charge Of the buying
OF lots In Amarillo. Ho also made
a statement OF the work done to date,
OF the work left 10 do both inside
the limits and outside the town on
the proposed right-of-way.

including j. II, wills, r. i. String
fellow, II. II. Cooper and S. H. Mad
den made talks on plans for complet-
ing the work. s. II. Madden as at
torney for the Santa Fe road, made
very satisfactory report of the
progress and plans OF the railroad in

ing was expressed in the form OF res
olutions which are here reproduced.

ton list Or note is The formal or.
ganlzatlon OF the subscribers and
for the successful completion OF the
work 1t has been found best TO turn
over the work to the provisional or
ganlzation named on tho list. AS

by the subscription are also mem
bers OF the Commercial club, the ac-
tual difference is smaller than It
would otherwise seem.
