PENSACOLA ABOUT TO LOSE
HER MEMPHIS ROAD

Pensacola, Jan. 29.-In addition
to forfeiting its franchise carrying a
large amount of valuable water
front property 1t It does not COM
plete fifty miles of roadbed by June
1. the Memphis and Pensacola rail
roads promoters will also lost $10,-
900 cash, this being the amount of
the surety bond required by the pro-
'moters a year ago when their fran :
chise was extended. The franchise
is considered a very valuable one,
not only by reason Of the streets
through which the projected road
Is given authority to use, but the
vast amount Of waterfront that IL
decided conditionally to the road. A
year ago when the promoters ap-
peared and asked for their second
or third extension of the franchise
the city refused to do SO, unless they
guaranteed to complete fifty miles
Of roadmbed and have It in opera
tion, and to back up thisguarantee
with q surety bond for $4,000,
which is to be forfeited in the event
of failure. There is hardly any
likelihood Of this being done, as no
work is under way and only about
ten miles Of roadbed graded. Attor-
neys representing the promoters are
now in the city asking for another
extension Of time. requestig eight =
cen months in which to build the
fifty miles, and claim that the Eu-
ropean war prevented a French syn
dicate which was backing the prop
osition. from carrying through It's
part of the contract by supplying the
money. The city commissioners
have not yet announced what they
propose doing in the matter. but are
loath to make any exten =
sions unless a better showing can be
made than that Of the past.
