P. & E. Railroad
At a mass-meeting ifonday In Med
ford It was decided to launch a cam
paign to raise $30,000 to finance tho
Pacific & Eastern railroad, recently
placed In a receiver's hands, and Its
operation discontinued. Dewing
Brothers Lumber company at Butte
Falls has pledged $30,000 provided
this sum Is duplicated by popular
subscription.
Thru Receiver W. F. Turner, of
Portland, a purchase program has
been outlined. This necessitates an
Initial payment of $50,000, the re
mainder of the purchase price of
$270,000 to be taken In long-term
bonds bearing 6 per cent Interest. It
Is the intention of the citizen's com
mittee to raise $40,000 this week and
then start the victory loan the first
of next week, putting both over tho
top within two weeks. .
According to figures assembled by
local accountants, the road will pay
a profit above operation and fixed
charges.
Industries In Medford have pledged
themselves to subscribe the major
part of the $30,000. It is believed
the road will be operating again by
June 1.
