Mr.. STREET WRITES
ABOUT RAILROAD TO
TOP OF ROYAL GORGE

So many people are making inquir-
les about the status of the proposed
electric railroad line to the top of the
Royal Gorge that Secretary Maddox
OF tho business men,s association
thinks the following letter received
from Mr. Street in New York this
morning will be of interest to the
people Of Canon City.
1t should not be assumed that be-
cause little publicity is being given
to this matter that nothing is being
done, or that efforts in behalf OF a
successful issue of the proposition are
tagging. The business mems associa-
ton will see to 1t that Mr. Street gets
the pictures he asks for and that
nothing will be left undone that will
IL any way contribute TO the success
Of the project People generally are
helping in every possible way to
bring about a consummation of the
undertaking and the outlook is one
of encouragement. Mr.. Street in his
letter says:
I am as anxious as you are to get
matters SO shaped up that we can
take you in an electric car to the top
Of the Royal Gorge early in the
spring. and to that end. both MI.
Kelsey and myself are working. We.
however, at the present time are
waiting for engineers reports. rights
Of way and some other little tag ends
that have not yet been closed up. SO
that anything you can do to help
these matters will be to our mutual
satisfaction. The postal pictures you
sent were good. We would like some
photographs OF Canon City proper.

posing public buildings. and anything
along that line you have or can
think OF. and with best wishes and
anticipations of Seeing 1t from the
