 This letter follows conference with you held on Monday last between you and Aldermen Black, Pardee and myself. It is desirable that this prop osition have the early attention of your company"

 Before noon Judge Kavanaugh sent the following reply to Mayor Taylor by messenger:
 II beg to acknowledge receipt Of yours of the 25th inst, submitting a proposition to the Little Rock Railway and Electric Company, contemplating the extension of our lines across the irene bridge to the City of ArSenta, giving to the two cities the 5-cent fare to and from ali points in the cities.
 '.I beg to say if your proposition lac of large sum of money and would necessarily mean a large in crease in our operating expenses without any proportionate increase in our revenue. However, the proposl- ton contains some suggestions which | think worthy of consideration, and as our company has always been Wll> ling to do it's full share in anything for the public good, l am going to New Orleans, and, if necessary, to New York, to lay the matter before my assocites and the bankers who will have to furnish the additional capital necessary.
 II am sure that you realize that at pres ent. it is matter of almost ah- solute impossibility to raise any mon ey for the construction of public util- ities. When it is secured, it is at prohibitiva rates We will, however, give the mamtter immediate consider ation. and I will give you at the earl jest possible moment an answer 10 the proposition in the shape of an ac- ceptance, declination or counter pro- position.'
