PUN FOR ROAD OUTLINED
Nr. Farnham Submits a Proposi
tion to Waxahachie Citizens.
Last night about thirty or forty
representative basiness men of the
city met at the courthouse to confer
with Mr. F. H. Farnham, represent
ing the I'nion Traction Company,
of Cleveland, Ohio, relative to a
proposed plan of constructing a!
freight and passenger electric rail- !
way line from Denison to Waco by
way of Dallas and Waxahachie.
The meeting was called to order.
by Mayor Η. E. Pickett, who was ;
subsequently elected chairman. Mr. I
L. C. Todd was selected secretary.
After Mr. Pickett had stated the
object of the meeting -Mr. Farnham
made a short address in which he
explained the plan by which the I
road is to be constructed. No défi- !
uite 'proposition was submitted at j
this meeting, but Mr. Farnham said
that the property holders along the
right of way art desired and would
be expected to take stock in the en
terprise to the amount of $.'5,000 per
mile. This, however, is not re
quired of any one. In hie remarks
Mr. Farnham said that the company
he represents can build about three
hundred miles a year and they were
looking for an opening for a large
mileage. He said he did not know
of a field anywhere where the future
promised so much as the black land
belt of Texas. He said it was the
purpose of his company .to construct
and air line from Denison to Waco,
building a single track at first and
later on to lay a double track. The
Pnion Traction people now have on
hand about IS,000 tons of steel rails,
sixty feet long and weighing seven
ty-five pounds to the foot, which
they propose using in the construc
tion of the road. Mr. Farnham
said that the foundries of the East
were behind with order· and that
st»>nl could not now be bought and
delivered within twelve months. A
right of way one hundred feet wide,
h»* staid, was desired. He said that
a» a rule little trouble whs experi
enced in obtaining a right of way
when the land-holders were made to
see the many benefits to be derived
from the road. Mr. Farnham ex
plained that the land along inter
urban roads in the North could not
be bought for les» than $100 per
acre. He said that for the benefit
and accommodation of farmers
«purs would be put in every
half mile which would hold from
two to six cars. Cars can be
set in on these spurs any hour in
the day on a few hours notice. The
roiling stock of the road will con
sist, of freight, express, mail and
passenger cars. There will be two
kinds of passenger cars. One an ex
press car which will make a trip
every two hours, stopping only at
the larger towns. This car will
make one mile a minute. The sec
ond kind will be local cars which
will make stops at every half mile
station. Electric lines cannot be
compared to steam railroads. The
coaches are not divided into compart
ments for white and colored passen
gers, but one car Is used exclusive
ly for smokers and colored. An
other advantage is that passengers
will not l>e bothered with dust,
smoke and cinders. The cars are
sixty feet long and will weigh more
than coaches used on steam roads.
The cars are built like Pullman
sleepers and each costs $12,000, in
cluding a $6,(i00 motor. Mr. Farn
ham said that three preliminary
surveys would probablv be made
through this county, the work of
establishing the grades to be com
menced in about three weeks. Sur
veyors will begin work on the north
end of the proposed line next week.
It will cost about 920,000 per mile to
construct a single track and about
$10,000 per mile to add the double
track.
At the conclusion of Mr. Farn
ham's remarks the following execu
tive committee was appointed:
T.J. Cole, T. A.Ferris. J. F.
Strickland, M. B. Templeton, J. S.
Davis, R. W. Getzendaner, E. P.
Hawkins, Oece Goodwin, J. Hous
ton Miller and G. C. Groce.
On motion the above committee
was authorized to add the names of
five farmers. The following were
appointed : Jno. Solon, Jno. M.
Harrison, Wm. Hosford, J. T.
Johnston and Wm. Stroud.
At (he Auditorium.
One of the best attractions seen
here for some time was the perform
ance given last night at the park
auditorium by the Curtiss Comedy
Company. Mr. Curtiss has been
playing in Texas for several sea
sons in succession and the company
now under his direction is one of
the best that ever came to the state.
Mr. Curtiss has greatly strengthen
ed his company thie season by en
gaging Mr. \V. H. Hartigan, a
young English actor, to take the
leading roles. Mr. Hartigan has
met with eminent success <>n the
stage, both in Europe and on this
side of the Atlantic.
His work last night in the very
difficult dual role of Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde stamps him as an histri
onic artist. His work in this play
was a faithful portrayal of the above
two characters, his transformation
from one into the other being done
quite cleverly. Mr. Hartigan was
ably supported by a strong cast. A
new feature with Mr. Curtiss' com
pany is the specialty work of the
l'ickerte, a company of vaudeville
artists of superior ability. Mr. Cur
tiss is arranging to return here Oct.
27 for an entire week.
