Baldwin Says Line to Be
Used as San Antonio
Route If Bought
Especial to The Herald


ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 24-Recent
rumors that the Missouri Pacific i.
seeking. through the Gulf Coast Lines,
to acquire the San Antonio, Uvalde and
Gulf railroad, have been confirmed by
President L. w. Baldwin of the Mis-
souri, Pacific system lines. "The Mis-
souri, Pacific and allied system lines
want the property to round out the sys-
tenn and especially to provide adequate
and dependable service between the
Lower Rio Grande Valley and San An
tonic, over it's own rails" President
Baldwin's statement says.
In explanation of the situation, he
said. "The securities of the S. A. U. &
G. are held in two blocks of 48 per cent
and third block of per cent The
Missouri Pacific, through the Gulf
Coast Lines, has obtained an option on
one of the large blocks and the small
block. which will, if acquired. give the
Missouri Pacific system lines SO per
cent of the securities and control of the
property. 1t is our intention to imme-
diately apply to the Interstate Com.
merce Commission for authority to ex-
er"ise the option.
when the necessary authority is OBJ
taired and the control of the property
is acquired, the Missouri Pacific sys-
TEN will be in position to develop and
provide improved service between San
Antonio, and the Lower Valley. This
will have the effect of placing the city
of San Antonio in direct touch with
the Lower Valley and the Mexican gate
way at Matamoros.
'This will, naturally. prove of ad-
vantage to both the city of San An
tonic and the Lower Valley. And to
the Missouri Pacific system interests
and will also prove of very great bene-
fit to the intermediate points between
San Antonio and the Valley.
"Should the acquisition be authoriz
ed. it is hoped and anticipated that the
remainder of the securities can be ac-
quired on mutually satisfactory
basis"
This statement is in line with Presi
dent Baldwin's announced intention and
promise to do whatever is right and
whatever he can do to provide San An
tonic and the Lower Rio Grande Valley
with improved intermediate railroad
service.
