MEXICO WANTS
MORE RAILROADS
by Associated prsss1

MEXICO, CITY, Mexico.-Rapid and
immediate extension of railroads
in Mexico is projected by the
Department of Communications and
Public Works in conjunction with
the various state governments. Ar
rangements already have begun to
complete the line from Santa Luc.
reita, on the 1sthmus of Tehuantepec
line, to Merida, Yucatan. This line
when complete will form the connect
ing link in the north and south route
from Ciudad Juarez, on the American
border. to Merida. 1t will run through
San Juan Bautista in Tabasco and
Campeche. The state Of Yucatan, one
OF the most prosperous in the republic
will finance the new line in conjunc-
tion with various electric lines con-
meeting with it. This right of way
formerly was controlled by a conces-
sion to foreign capital but the conces-
sion was declared forfeited because
the holders failed to complete the
work according to its terms.
Another projected line will connecr
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts OF
Mexico traversing the country from.
east to west from Tampico, the main
Atlantic oil port, to San Bias, state
of Nayrit, formerly the territory of
Topic. This route win link up Aguas
Caiientes. Zacatecas and other inn
portsnt cities with the line of the
Southern Pacific of Mexico which
now has extended its line from Mega
les to Compostela a short distance
south of the city of Topic.
Notice has been given by the De-
partment of Communications to the
Southern Pacific company that it must
continue its line from Compostela to
Gudalajara, accor ding to its conces-
sion, and begin his work of construc-
ticn at once, or the concession under
which the company operates in Mex

A movement whereby the legislature
would authorize and direct the super
lntendent Of public works to condemn
and acquire by purchase the franchise
OF the Honolulu Rapid Transit and
Land Company for the use and bene.
lit OF the territory of Hawaii, which
was begun. about three weeks ago. an,
pears to have become a dead issue
for the present session, at least as
far as the house of representatives is
concerned.
A bill pr0yiding for the acquisition
of the Rapid Transit was handed to
Representative Norman K. Lyman, he
says, about three weeks ago. He told
the Star-BulletIn today that he had
declined to introduce the measure, and
that he has heard nothing more of it
since. He would not make public the
name of the person or persons who
prepared the bill 49,
Copies of The bill now in Lyman
Possession show that tie plan was to
convert the Rapid Transit from a prI-
vate to a municipal corporation, the
superintendent OF public works to be
known as the purchaser" on behalf
OF the territorial government.
The bill further provided for tho
appropriation of S., 100000 to carry out
the purchase, this money to be paid
out of any moneys in the treasury or
hereafter received on account of loan
funds, there also being a provision
that bonds might be issued as provid-
ed by law 10 he extent necessary tc
yield the amount appropriated.
Another provision Of the bill was
thai the purchase price was to be de
termined by board Of five apprais-
ers, one to be appointed ty the Rapid
Transit, one by the governor, one by.
the mayor, and one each by the presi-
dent of the senate and the speaker of
the house of representatives. This
section Of the measure goes on to say
that the purchaser or corporation
might appeal to TIE supreme court
from the decision of the board by pre-
senting a written rotice within five
days after the rendering of the deci-
sion.
