state executive council. Total gross
earnings were 1926, 631.69, of which
more than three-fourths was received
from passengers. Gross passenger
earnings were $225,74717; freight
earnings, $46,59O6O, and the express
earnings, $3,0S9.,l. Gross earnings
per mile, $5,266.91. Length of this
line is Sc miles. You will see the
length of this line makes fair COM
parison TO the length of the proposed
line. Our passenger traffic may not be
quite so large, but our freight traffic
ought to be much larger. In addition
to the freight business we expect to
have very large express business,
as we expect to make arrangements
with one of the largest express COM
panies not reaching this territory al
present, to send all their express over
our line We also should have a
heavy mail traffic; our connection
with the main trunk line will be such.
that we ought to have a great deal OF
excess baggage derived from travelling
men carrying large sample trunks.
We wish to say word right here
to the subscribers to these bonds,
especially to the land owners. 1t has
been our experience without a single
exception, that whenever an interur-
ban passes through a good farming
community, even though it may paraL
lei steam road, it has increased the
value of farm lands from ten to TWEEN
ty-five dollars per acre the first year,
and in Illinois, where we have been
operating, the farm land has been
steadily increasing until now s225.00
per acre is a very common price for
good farm land, and 1t is hard telling
where it will stop. The city and town
property owners also have something
to look forward to, for the interurbans
are known all over the East as town
builders. II brings more business,
more people, more everything, and as
your town and city grows just so your
property increases in value. So the
interurban is of equal value to all.
There is not a man living within five
miles of an interurban line but what
is benefited by same. The greater
your holding the greater the benett.
so if the people along this proposed
line will cooperate witt us, you Will
surely get the road you have waited
so many years for, and when it is
completed you will be glad you wait
ed, as the service will be of the best,
both for passengers and freight, and
We pledge ourselves that it will be
second to none in the state when
completed. Should there be any sur
plus money received from the sale
of bonds, over and above the cost OF
the building and equipping of the road
all such money is to remain in the
treasury of the company to be used
for extensions, or as the directors may
see fit.
The money pledged is to be paid in
five payments, as follows: 20 per
cent to be paid as soon as the neces-
sary amount to build the road Is
pledged; balance to be paid in equal
payments, which will be stated in the
pledges.
