NORTHEASTERN RAILROAD
Having Failed to Comply With It's
Agreement, Has Forfeited It's Right
to the Bonus Voted by the Taxpayers
of Shreveport.

It will be recalled by readers of the
Caucasian that the Northeastern Rail
way, designated as the Clingn1an road
had, as specified in the agreement, con
tracted to build to Shreveport.
Having failed to comply with thi:
contract, and there being no indication
that the road would ever be constructed
the company practically forfeited what
ever rights it possessed.
The Council of the City, on the mo.
ton of one of its members now re.
signed, voted an extension of siS
months. This extension was unsolicited
and being illegal, at the following meet
ing the Council it was reconsidered and
annulled.
The City of Shreveport is simply the
custodian of the tax money paid which
was in aid of the company, but which
is forfeited by failure of contract. AT
the time the Northeastern was in de-
fault number of taxpayers had their
tax already paid transferred to the
credit of the State Fair Association,
whose representatives expected to re-
ceiye from the Comptroller this week,
but to the surprise of the Fair Associa-
ton and its friends, there must follow
a delay resulting from the Councils ae-
ton Tuesday night, by an amendment
submitted at the third reading of the
ordinance providing for the transfer of
the tax collected to the State Fair AS
ISOLATION. as desired by the taxpayers
who have given their written authority
therefor.
This action of the Council is suggest
ed, as explained, to protect the city from
any suit in law.
At this meeting of the Council it was
announced that Mr.. Clingman has not
reiinquished his claims to this tax,
which is not disputed, but he can have
no recognition or standing in law, since
he has failed in his contract. Indeed,
1t IS understood that he has been SO adj
vised by the gentleman who was the at
torney for the road, and any contention
will only retard the transfer of this tax
to the Fair Association, who, to pro-
tect itself and its friends who have
transferred their tax, must bring suit.
Not only has the Northeastern no
standing in Shreveport, at least as far
as its claim for the tax collected is con-
cerned, but it has forfeited whatever
rights It held in the parishes of Web
ster and Claiborne
The tax voted and collected is spe-
cifc. It was to aid in the construction
Of the Northeastern, which has failed in
its anticipation. As each taxpayer has
control of the tax he has paid, he can
exercise his Judgment as to its applica-
ton. It is a question strictly between
The taxpayer and the railroad company.
Il is conceded that judgment against
the railway company is necessary to re-
lieve the city from any future response
bility as to the custodian OF this fund.

sighed deeply, and shaking his head mournfully
spoke as if to himself:

that has made a mistake in taking his place
