BURLINGTON Gets
PERMIT TO BUILD
To Construct Line So Miles Long
From Monroe City TO MobeyIy.
Jefferson City, No., Dcc. s. APP

proval of the plans of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railroad Com
pany to buil1 line IS miles long
from Monroe City TO Moberly was an
nounced last night by Chairman VIII
liam G. Busby, OF the Public Service
Commission. A certificate of con-
venience and public necessity will be
issued at once.
H. J. Nelson, assistant general So
licitor of the Burlington, who was
here yesterday, said tha building of
this line is part of the general scheme
of the Atchison, Topeka & Sauta Fe
to enter st. Louis.
The Burlington and Santa Fe, he
said, will use the Monroe City-Mober-
ly line Jointly for Kansas Ctty-Chica-
go traffic over the line the Santa Fe
will build from Carrollton, Mo-, to
Mexico, Audrain county. This Line
will intersect the line from Monroe
City at Moberly.
In return for entrance into. st.
Louis over the Burlington line from
Mexico, the Santa Fe will allow the
joint use of it's tracks from Moberly
to Carrollton and thence into Kansas
City over it's main line.
This Mr.. Nelson outlined as the
general plan of the two companies.
The Santa Fe Plan for the Carrollton-
Mexico line has not yet been filed with
the Commission, but is expected daily
Both lines, Nelson said, will be con-
structed at once. The Burlington
will benefit by getting a much more
direct line and easier grades between
Kansas City and Chicago and the
Santa Fe will gain an entrance into
st. Louis that it has desired for
years over a short line from Kansas
City.
From Carrollton to Mexico the new
Santa Fe line will closely parallel
the Wabash Kansas City-St. Louis
line.
