with him in the meantime it would not be fair to conclude coo elude that the absence of any public hurrah in this city over the scheme for a western road means any lack of interest or even suggests ests that efforts in behalf of a line hine from this cita to the coast are not being befog made for such conclusion would he be at variance with the facts facto the western road is being sought and worked for but just juit how bow its con construe tion will be accomplished is a matter for future development |
