Richard Tillis, of Montgomery.
owner of the street railway of that
city, as well as prominently connected
with railways and big enterprises for
a number of years, has contracted,
with associates of that city, to put up
$250,00 of the amount necessary to
build railroad from Pensacola to
Andalusia, provided citizens of Pen
sacola will raise a similar amount,
which viii insure the construction of
the roadway.
This information is authentic Mr..
Tillis has more than once evinced a
desire to build a road connecting Pen
sacola with the Central of Georgia
tracks at Andalusia, and a few days
ago, it is stated, he made a PROPOSE
ton to put up quarter million dol
lars if Pensacola men would come
forward and do likewise.
MEETING YESTERDAY.
According to information obtained
late last night there was a quiet
meeting yesterday afternoon of half a
dozen or more prominent business
men of the city, one or two of whom
had received the TilIis proposition,
and it was put before the gathering.
with the result that il was accepted.
Those in attendance could not put up
all the funds required, so a committee
was named to get out Monday morn
ing and call upon other citizens to as
sist in raising the quarter OF a mil
lion. 1t is believed that the amount
can be raised within the course of
very short time, as it is known that
Tillis is a man of action, with plenty
of money to back up n proposition,
and that when he commences an I'M
dertaking it will not fall through.
AS soon as the proposition is in
shape and the amount required raised
here, committee will go before the
council and apply for franchise for
the pToposed road
