R. .OPENING CHAPTERS THIS WEEK. Major W. A. Calhoun, consulting engineer of tho Kontucky Southwest ern Electric Railway. Ught and Pow er Company who returned Tuesday morning from n three weeks' stay In New York, said thnt prospects for tho lntcrurban nro growing brlghtor ovorj' day. Major Callhoun was called home bccauBo of Illness In his family. How ever, tho trip affonlod him an oppor tunity to moro closely cement tho In terests of tho Kentucky Southwestern and tho financial connections wlUi which tho nbovo company had been negoUatlng for somo tlmo. Major Calhoun stated further that thoro had never for years been a tlmo Hko tho present when capital is looking placement on such a satisfac tory basis. Many of tho financial cen ters arc having difficulty In finding investments for their funds and a bulk of that which Is being placed Is nt 1 and 2 por cent under tho usual rntcs obtainable. Ho said It was very gratifying to observe tho manner in which traction securities were leading In tho market nnd that It only goes to prove tho sta bility with' which thoy are looked upon, as well as tho profitableness. Major Calhoun was especially urged to have tho company complete tho balance of their work necessary to enablo them to determine what a mount of bonds would bo necessary to completely provldo for the con struction and equipping of the road Bnd what terms they would consider. "Tho report and other data of the company having been examined by uoine ot the representatives of those financial Interests, it is to be hoped that our people will do what they can to facilitate time in the completion of the work as every day saved in completing these preliminaries brings the completed proposition much clos er," said Major Calhoun. "Had our pcoplo taken hold of this matter as they should have, Paducah and tho surrounding territory would have recolved tho benefits that much sooner, nnd oven now by so doing n.id without further delaying, Umo can be saved and thoreby its equiva lent obtained. "Press notices show where in throe rlmllar enterprises near by ono In Kentucky, ono in Tennessee, and one In Missouri tho peoplo havo cooper ated without delays, with the result that the work has been carried on moro rapidly, which means a saving 'n many ways. In two ot theso cases the entire amount necessary for pre liminary work was provided in ad vance of tho work," said Major Cal houn In conclusion.
