SAY HAVE ROCK
ISLAND BUILD ROAD
\ Planter PROPOSES Novel Scheme for
Constructing the Pine Bium Inter-
URBAN on the Plum Bayou
LGNee.

Build The Pine Bluff interurban
With R9cb-Island rails" is the back
bon" Of the scheme advocated by Il
planter who lives in lhe RichWoOds
country says the Little Rock Gazette.
This. however. is only part Of
Bayou Icvee as a section of the ligilf
OF way, and istead of electric ears
would use gasoline motor coaches.
What is more the planter would nor
attempt 10 90 through ENGLAND. keo
or any other OF the considerable towns
between Little Rock and Pine Bluff.
but would build the line along a more
southerly route and draw on the many
plantations through which ii would
pass for local traffic. Economy and
practabilitN of construct ION, as we'll as
sureness OF ultimate profit. are the
principal virtues advanced for the
scheme. and the advocate. having re-
tired from active business. has no in
ten1ion of exploiting the idea himself.
He has a near interest in it, however,
and would like TO see ii pushed by
some younger man
In talking over the matter With
northern interurban capitalist. the lat
ter asked how many towns the route
would touch. The reply was that prob
ably not a corporate community would
re entered. but that the road would
depend entirely upon the plantations
for local support This reply puzzled
the interurban man until it was eX
planned to him that the country be-
tween here and Pine Bluff is a series
OF plantations. which are in themselves
small VILLAGES. with a population OF
from - 70 200 each. The eXplana-
ton put an entirely new phase on the
matter, and the nOrtherner immedi-
ately admitted that the project gave
much promise.
In the following scheme, the plant
er suggests that the Rock-Island peO
Pile be approached in regard to the
matter and offered stocks or bonds in
exchange for some Of the rails which
are now being replaced at various
places along its line BY heavier steel,
also that the ChoctaW tracks be used
as far as Galloway. a distnce of eight
miles. 1t is thought that the Rock
! Island would look With favor upon
such a proposition. inasmuch as it has
/ posed interurban would be a fruitful
feeder 10 Its main line.
! For a distance of about 20 miles the
road could be built on the top Of Plum
Bayou levee. which is practically ready
| for the ties, and which would itself be
strengthened by the track against
high water. AS the rest OF the way
the country is almost as level as a
floor, and with but little grading and
ditching the cost OF the building
would be reduced to a minimum.
! Economy would again be furthered
by the use OF gasoline as motive pow
err instead OF electricity, which would
require the erection ana maintenance
Of large and expensive power plants.
Gasoline motor cars are already used
with success in many parts OF the
country and even on number OF lines
in Arkansas. Planters and farmers
along the route would gladly exchange
| ties for stock in the interurban com
pany and cash expenses would again
! be lowered.
