CITY MAY SELL RAILROAD
TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS

CINCINNATI, Ohio. January g.
The Cincinnati Southern railroad
the only trunk line, municipality
owned railroad in the United States,
may be sold in order to provide
funds with which to make needed
public Improvements in Cincinatti.
The proposal for the sale of the
road was made today by Councilman
Edwin Il. Kellogg of the first ward,
who submitted for introduction in
city council a resolution providing
for the appointment of a committee
of prominent citizens to investigate
the wisdom of selling the road. Kel-
logg states that he does not look for
immediate action. but desires to in
spire a public discussion of the mat
ter. He contends that the road has
served the purpose for which it was
built by the city of Cincinnati-pro-
viding gateway to the south.
Franchises which the road had to
traverse the states of Kentucky and
Tennessee will shortly expire and
new franchises will have to be nego-
tiated. Kellogg believes that the an
nual revenue of s1.250.000 which the
city derives from rental of the road
to the Cincinnati. New Orleans and
Texas Pacific railroad, will be more
than made up in the new taxable
property which will go on the tax
duplicate as a result of the public i'm
provements which can be made out of
the proceeds of sale He estimates
that the road should bring between
S50,000,000 and $65.000.00O.
