Show PROMOTERS VISIT EMERY CO. The Proposition of a Railroad for the Valley is Now Up to the People- Different Towns Visited For thirty years "lie people of Castle Cas-tle Valley have waited for a railroad and now it is up to them, and on a good proposition. All they are asked to do is to furnish right-of-way and such grounds as are needed for depots and side tracks at the different towns. This is a liberal proposition and shows that the promoters are not asking the people to buile them a rond but expect to put some money into the enterprise. Messrs. Harry Wade, Dr. I. R Parsons, Par-sons, and W. H. Tidwell were at Cas-tledale Cas-tledale and other towns this week presenting pre-senting the .suoject to the property owners, and so far as we have heard they have met with an enthusiastic welcome. In fact, they ask for so little lit-tle aside from the co-operation and good-will of the people that our citizens at once realize that what they are asking ask-ing fur is practically nothing compared with the benefits that will come to the Valley from the operation of the road. At this place they met with a large gathering at the Commercial Club room where short speeches were made by each of the visitors explaining what hA been done and what the company propo-; d doing. Following this many of the local peoule expressed themselves as more lhaa pleased at the prospect and wiilinj to do all that they could to help the matter along most of them saying that if the survey crossed their places they would giv- the right-of-way. After some discussion of the best way to take care of the loc it end of the proposition with the idea that it could not be done until the survey was mi le s j as to know just where it was going, it was decided to act on the sugges-ion I of W. H. Tidwell and begin at once. A committee consisting of three was appointed to prepare an agreement for the signatures of the property owners in which they agree to accept the decision de-cision of this committee as to the amount of damage done their property j should the road cross it. On the other 1 hand, if the load does not cross their ! places they agree to pay the amount j assessed against them by the committee ' toward the payment of the damages i done to those whose places are crossed. I A. D. Dickson, F. E. Woods, and Ed-i Ed-i mund Crawford were named on this I committee. The committee to get the I signers to this agreemen' will be se j lected at a meeting to be held next ! Monday evening. Everybody interested I in the development of the town and I county is urged to attend this meeting. I The survey for the road is expected j to reich this point by S iturd iv, Decem- ber 10th. The citizens of Wellington I are showdng commendable enterprise I in this matter and have not only secur- ed the right-of-way through their pre-! pre-! cinct and ten acres of ground for a terminal ter-minal but are going to work with about twenty teams on the grade next week. The intention is to have the road in operation before next fall. The pro-I pro-I molers are backed by capitalists in Salt Lake and Chicago, i This begins to look like a chance to get the railroad we are so badiy in need j of and that the citizens are ready and i anxious to do their best in the matter : of inducements has been known these , many years. Let's all get busy at this ' time and s--e if we can't make this the time we land the ro id. |
