BY VOTE OF 46 TO 81 SEWER
BONDS ARE DEFEATED MONDAY
MAJORITY OF VOTERS IN TIE SPECIAL THAT
ROUNDUP SHALL NOT ISSUE BONDS SEWERS


The special election held Monday
for the purpose of deciding the ques-
ton Of whether or not to bond the
city to the amount Of $4,000 for a
sewer system resulted in the defeat
Of the proposition. Out Of the ninety
voters registered only seventy-eight
voted, of which number as voted
against bonds and 80 in favor. Those
in favor of the proposition and the
opposition We're much in evidence at
the election and the contest was some
what of a spirited one. A number of
voters were challenged and prevented
from casting their ballot
1t need hardly be said that the
friends of the measure are not very
well pleased with the result, and talk
is now rife of another election being
called in the near future on the
grounds that the registration was not
lawful.
The general opinion, however, seems
to be that the bonds were defeated
at this time for the reason that the
city does not hold deed to the ground

R0UNDup.BILLINCS
RAILROAD ASSURED
c. M, e. p. S. RAILWAY SAID TO BE
BEHIND BILLINGS MOVEMENT
Survey Made Last Summer
Articles of Incorporation Are Filed in
Office Of Clerk Of Yellowstone
County by Billings & Central Mon
tana Railway Company.

Billings Gazette March 10).-As
result of survey run between
Billings and Roundup last summer,
articles of incorporation have been
filed in the office of the county clerk
and recorder by the Billings & Cen
trail Montana Railway Company which
is organized for the purpose Of con-
structing steam railroad line be-
tween Billings and some point in Mus
selshell county to be determined on
at later date.
According to the articles filed the
purpose of the organization is to build
and maintain steam railroad OF
standard gauge with tracks, sidetracks
way stations, freight houses. depots,
shops and all necessary buildings and
one terminus and a point in Mussel-
shell county, obe hereafter fixed, for
khe other terminus. The principal
place Of business is to be in Billings.
1t i sfurther set forth in the articles
that the capital stock Of the company
is Sl,5O0,o00 which amount is neces-
sary to construct the railroad. The
capital stock is divided into $4,000
shares at 500 each, non-assessable.
and it is provided that $4,000 OF the
capital stock shall be subscribed at
the time of the commencement OF the
business.
1t is also provided that the purpose
of the company is to build and MAIN
tain telephone and telegraph line
in connection with the railroad and
that it is to have the right of buying
and owning real estate along the pro-
posed line of the railroad and at the
terminals sufficient for the tracks,
freight house, depot, and shops for the
building and repairing of locomotives
and cars.
According to the articles $50 shares
of the authorized stock have been sub
scribed and the business OF the cor
poration is to be conducted for the
next three months by a board Of di-
rectors consisting of r. E. Shepherd,
A. R. Scott, E. f. Tiffany, c. c. Davis
and D. F. Lemaster, all of Billings.
preliminary survey was made last
summer for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether or not steam road be-
tween Billings and Roundup is FEAST
BILE, and a line which it is believed
could be utilized with very little diff
Guilty was established. 1t was believed
at the time of the survey was made
that the work ws being done by or for
the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
Railway Company.
A short piece of railroad has already
been built at Roundup connecting that
city with some of the coal mines and
the belief has been expressed by some
that this is the starting of the road to
Billings, altho the Musselshell county
terminal of the road has not yet been
announced and probably will await
developments in the matter of right-of-
way.
The incorporators of the railroad
company here will not say what their
plans for the future are.
