gineers at work making a survey and
computing the cost OF construction
of an electric line from here to the
new Fox oil district one of the
routes will be surveyed by Springer
but where the other two routes will
be surveyed is not known One of
them will in all probability be direct
to Fox with a branch at Keller ex-
tending through the Santa Fe field
and on to Healdton while the other
probably is by the towns of Lone
Grove, Wilson. Writ and to Fox with
a loop back by way OF the asphalt
mines at Woodford and through the
Springer Valley. However these
statements are mere deductions.
|. NJ Putnam who is general man
ager of the street railway stated yes
terday that his associates were all
out Of the city and that he is not
authorized to make any statements
for them. He did state, however.
that he had been instructed to get up
the surveys mentioned and to have
compiled by competent engineers a
statement of the cost OF construction
Of a line along the different routes.
upon receipt of these
he placed surveyors in
the field and they are now at work.

it will be a road of longer mileage
and will be a property OF greater
taxable wealth.
While some of the best informed
men of the city believe that the
Santa Fe will build the road yet
there are others who do not believe
that John Ringing and President
Ripley will stage race to the new
oil field.
The probable result is that neither
of them will build and that an inter
urban will build out of this city TO
the new Fox field.
