H. K. Brown, an Ashland banker,
said the road had been extended from
Ralston to Papllllon by an issue of re
ceiver's certificate?, which became pay
able September 1. Originally there had
been an Issue of 6 per cent bonds In the
sum of J1W.0W. which had been turned j

had finally turned them over to the
Christ Chapman company, which sold
the paper at S0 per ion.
"The proposition looked good IT it had
been handled right." said Mr. Brown,
"and should have been prosperous from
the start."
Commissioner Hall asked Mr. Brown
how the proposition could look good when ;
the 6 per' cent bonds would only bring !
$S0, and said that ordinarily there Is to
tiouble to dispose of 5 per cent bonds Ht
a premium.
Mr. Musser of the Lincoln road asked
Mr. Brown why he objected to the
Omaha, Lincoln & Beatrice road and was
told that It was because he was Inter
ested In tho Omaha project. Mr. Muss. r
then produced a petition slimed by Ash
land people asking for the building
the Omaha, Lincoln & Beatrlco road
which bore Mr. Brown's name.
The whole proposition seems to hlnre
on the right of the commission to com
pel the Omaha, Lincoln & Beatrice com
pany to buy the road owned by the Ne
braska Traction company.
The hearing' was concluded this after
noon and It Is now up to tho commission.
Up to the present time no protest na
