THE INTERURBAN
RAILWAY
To the Herald:

To the Herald:
In an editorial in yesterdays Her
aid, complaint is made of seemingly
unnecessary and discouraging delay
in construction of the Nashville In
terurbau Railway The delay has not
been unnecessary and is not dis
couraging" to the parties who have
given their time and money to this
enterprise.
| am the only one of the originatora
of this undertaking now connected with
it, and although l have been at work
upon it some four years, am not dis
couraged. Upon the contrary, / am
now sure it will be speedily and splen-
didly constructed and equipped. The
ablest and best men in Tennessee,
with brains and capital, headed by
Fl. H. Mayberry, az President, are
committed to it's completion. De
lay" means loss of interest on the
thousands of dollars they have already
expended. Not a dollar has been ask
ed or subscribed by any city or coun-
ty or community or individual to build
this railway. Lion-hearted Jere Bax-
ter fought for seven long years to get
the Tennessee Central into Nashville,
and had contributions to aid him
Nashville giving million dollars land
by the way, if Nashville even builds
a monument to anybody it should be
to Jere Baxter).
The only aid the Interurban Rail-
way asks is the right-of-way through
property and. the good will OF the COM
munity Through which it will pass.
This railway Gas has been demonstraA
ted by all similar railways will more
than double the value of all lands
through which it runs, and benefit ev
cry town through which it passes.
Money has been offered and declined
to secure its location on certain lines.
Intelligent men in Maury County
whose lands are worth one hundred
dollars per acre have generously and
promptly donated q right-of-way
through their farms.
The chief and main thing to be done, |
and in which going slow" is absolute
ty necessary, is in making final loca-
ton of the road The abest and best |
construction company engaged in
building electric railways in the
United States has contracted to build
this railway and is now at work upon
il.
In view of these facts, believe the
Herald should not complain of delay.
but urge our people to give every as
sistance possible to this enterprise.
Respectfully,
w. J. WHITTHORNE.

scarcely anyone. Yesterday a squad
OF soldiers searched his premises for
