Dr. McCorkla, acting for eastern oap

of way from the heart of the city to
the eastern edge thereof. He haa also
secured the right or way from farmers
from 4k. point seven mllee east of the
city to the mountain. The one thing
that ,rxrw holds up the scheme la the
lack of a franchise from the county to
run the tracks over the Section Line
road from the eaatern edge of the elty
to a point seven mllee farther . east,
where the proposed road ' veers off
serosa privately owned fields. - v
There are Tt farmero'ewina Drooertv
along thle seven-mile stretch. Dr. Mo
Corkle ageed that the fare to town
would be but I cents, and the farmers
decided that they wanted the railroad
enough to. donate a five-foot strip of
ana on eec,n siae or tne road to. make
it wider. ? -i -.j,. , ,
The County commlasleners promJeed to
grant the franchise,- provided all the
