the presidency Of the Topeka-South-
purpose Of taking the management of
the Topeka-Southweste Construc-
ton company, a separate corporation,
which has the contract for building
and equipping the Southwestern rail-
way. I felt that I could not consis-
tently represent two corporations to
the same contract, and inasmuch as
most Of my work will be In the line of
construction I deemed it advisable to
sever my connections with the railway
company and devote all my energy to
the construction company.
1.-THE railway company will not
have very much to do except to look
after their right-of-way matters until
the line has been completed and turn
ed over to them by the Construction
company. as the contract between the
two companies provide that the con-
struction company shall build and
equip the line complete. so all the
railway company will have to do dur
ing the construction of the line is to
look after their corporation affairs
and provide the necessary right-of-
way to build the railroad on"
