Company is Fencing Right Of way
From VeIva to kenmare to Obvl.
ate killing Of steck-Interferes
With Some Pieces Of Highway

The 500 railway company is fenc-
ing it's entire right Of way from
Velva to Kenmare, q distance of
about seventy miles, using five
strand wire fence. The 500 right OF
way varies from 100 to 200 feet wide.
Where the company purchased i, the
right of way from the government
it secured 200 feet hut from individ-
uals only 100 feet was bought, the
owners not wishing to part with
more land.
Ever since the 800 railway was
built in this state, in many places
the townships have used portions OF
the right of way for highway, the
roads often running within thirty
feet Of the track. When the fences
were built this naturally interfered
with many pieces of roadway, some
OF which were built at considerable
expense to the townships. Some
complaints have been made to supt.
W. A. Cole of this city and the con-
pany desiring to be fair with every
one, considered the matter and will
solve the problem in this way. The
company is willing to give to the
townships or individuals long term
lease on portions Of It's
right Of way needed Tor highway
purposes, subject only to the right
of such land 40 tho company may
desire for gravel, buildings, ETC
When the leases expire, the company
ls willing to renew them. This seems
perfectly fair. MI. Cole wishes the
farmers or the townships where such
roads exist to send him the descrip.
ton Of the land and he win forward
leases to sign. This u Of consider,
able Importance and Mr.. Cole wishes
the matter settled at an early date.
The company was compelled to
build this fence, because 30 much
stock had been killed.
