city will be made as expeditiously as
can be legally DONE The rapidity
with which the construction can be
carried on will, of course, depend upon
the condition of the money market
1t is our expectation, based upon our
financial arrangements, to have in
terurban cars running between Little
Rock and Pine Bluff, the free bridge
strengthened, and efficient Inter-city
communication established within two
years, if the franchise rights we are
now asking for are promptly granted ,
President w. M. Kavanaugh of the
Little Rock Railway, says; "If the
ordinance, as agreed upon between
us today, is passed our company will
accept the same. After prolonged
argument and much urging on my
part, | got my associates, who have
recently acquired the ownership of
this property, to agree to accept the
proposition as submitted on Dec. 6.
The Inter-city Terminal Company
is required to strengthen the free
bridge, control the present or future
lines of the Argenta Street railway
company, build a connection across the
free bridge secure and make use Of a
down town loop of not less than four
teen blocks, permit the interurban to
use its lines, give $4,000 bond, be-
gin actual construction of its traks in
fifteen months, and complete same in
four ears.
The Little Rock, Pine Bluff and
Eastern Traction Company is required
to arrange for the use of the Inter
city lines, give $4,000 bond, and com
plete its lines to Pine Bluff in six
years.
The Little Rock Street railway com
pany agrees to permit the use of the
down. town loop, and provide transfers
on the Inter-city lines for seven cities
between all points in Argenta and
Little Rock, except that a five cent
fare shall apply from all points on the
loop to all points in Argenta.
For the concession necessary to Sc
cure the transfers, the city agrees
to amend the ordinance of the Little
Rock Street Railway so that six tick
cts for 25 cents are not to be sold until
the population of Little Rock becomes
100000, instead of 10000 as now pro
vided.

Pine Bluff Inter-
urban Proposition
Mayor Taylor Submits Results of his
Negotiations, in Regard to the
Pine Bluff Interurban Pro-
position, to City Council

Little Rock, Dec. 16.-Mayor Tay-
lor. Monday night submitted the re-
suits of his negotiations on the Pine
Bluff lnterurban proposition to the
city council for it's consideration. The
contract which he has worked out with
the representatives of the interested
corporations is one that meets their
approval and that, it is believed, of
nearly all the members of the city
council 1t is a much better contract
than either of the two that were We
toed by the mayor last summer.
On Sept. 8, the whole matter was
referred to the mayor as committee
of one to work out the franchise that
would be equitable to all concerned,
and in the face of the most annoying
and unreasonable criticisms on the
part of certain parties, which he has
practically ignored, he has gone along
calmly and prepared a contract which
it is believed will soon be passed and
will provide for the construction of an
interurban between Little Rock and
Pine Bluff, and terms for the crossing
of the Free Bridge that will be accep-
table to the people.
The plan contemplates the grant
ing of three franchises, all of which
were introduced last night, to the In
ter-city Terminal Railway Company
the Little Rock, Pine Bluff and East
ern Traction Company, and the Little
Rock Railway and Electric Company
1t is probable that these ordinances
will be put through within the next
week or ten days, as there is no fur
ther need of delay, all the details hav-
ing been worked out to the satisfac-
ton Of all parties concerned.
c. c. Kavanaugh, president of the
Pine Bluff interurban. in a letter to
the mayor says: I'VE believe now the
ordinances as proposed will overcome
most of the objections heretofore rails
ed by both parties to the controversy,
and which, if passed by the city coun-
cl and approved by yourself, will in
sure the building of Pine Bluff in

provements contemplated as quickly
as details necessary in carrying out
work of this magnitude can be con

SUPREME COURT REM
DERS SHORT OPINION
Amount was S4.95-Too Small for
Consideration of the Court

One of the shortest opinions ever
rendered in the Arkansas Supreme
Court, if not the shortest, was de-
livered by Justice Wood Monday in
the case of A. M. Brickey VS. j. A.
Collins, from Pike County.
Judgment was given appellant in a
justice court for $4.95, but it was dis
missed in the circuit court ION the
ground that the amount involved is
too small for the consideration of the
court"
The opinion in full not including
the citations of authority, is as follows
every litigant has the right of ap-
peal from an adverse judgment no
matter how small the amount thereof
may be-"
The case was therefore reversed and
remanded.
