E Attorney Are Active in Behalf of Proposed Railroad LEGAL OBSTACLES OVERCOME The New Ordinance Will Be Introduced at the Next Meeting of the Council Monday Night Thought to Be legal It was announced here this morn ing that the new ordinance authorU ing the solicitation for bids for the construction of the promised Hose burg & Kastern Railroad, Is now be ing prepared by the attorneys and will be ready to introduce at the next meeting of the city council which will be held Monday night. Attorney It. L. Kddy, who has been retained by the council to assist City Attorney Carl Wimberly, in looking after the legal matters connected with the railroad project, stated to day that the ordinance now being pre pared was very similar to the one vetoed by Mayor Rice at the last meeting of the council. Ah soon as the railroad proposition is brought before the council Monday night a motion will be advanced to sustain th veto to the original rail road ordinance adopted by the conn cil some time ago. This moiion will be seconded and will probably carry by the almost unanimous vote of the council. The new ordinance will then be placed on its first and second readings. Another week may then elapse before the ordinance is finally adopted. Attorney Kddy stated this morning thai he was certain all legal compli cations have been overcome, and that Kendall Brothers will be in a position to begin actual construction opera tioiis on the railroad within the net few weeks. Fn usual care has been exercised by the attorneys in handling the legal proceedings, and they believe the acts of the city will be upheld by the Supreme ourt in ihe event that body should be asked to finally pass on the proposition. As a result of the new agreement bet ween Kendall Brothers and the municipality the people of Koseburg are opiimislic and a general feeling prevails that both the railroad and sawmill will be built soon.
