Committee Reported $8 190 In Ex-
tensions nnil $3330 New Sub-
scriptions. According to tlio motion em-
bodied in the adjournment of the
meeting hold last week a mass
meeting wart held at the court
bonne 'Monday night to further
discuss the extension contract
with the Orient and hear the re-
port of tho soliciting committee.
The meeting wuh called to order
by Dr. John Abo March who re-
ferred to work of tho committees
tho past week. He Htated that
the railroad committee had been
coloured by Borne parties who
claimed that their action had been
kept Bocrot. lie explained that
HiJy action of right-of-way com-
mittee had beon withheld and
this was thought advisable.
W. A Guthrib acted as secretary
of the mooting.
C. A. Broome in boha f of the
12 now conuniiteomon reported a
meeting on tho day following mass
mooting when committee was sub-
divided into four committees
that took the names of those who
Jiad agreed tho extension; tho
amount being $8 100. Now sub
scriptions wore secured amount-
ing to SbH20 giving an available
subscription list ol $-11000. The
committee was handicapped by
carnival rush and had yet to see
a good many of tho parties stib-
Bcribing large amounts There
remained on tho lmt -15 names
representing 812000 thut had
jiot been seen. Committee asked
for further timo.
Judge J. W. Hill said
discouraged and could
Avliy poople took bo little
iu a matter of so much
anco. If it waB a personal mat-
tor ho would throw up his hands
and quit. A number of men had
worked faithfully and yot tho en-
thusiasm thut should bo shown
by tho public had not been in
evidence Something hud to be
done and tho people should help
ehouldor tho burden. Elovon
men had beon carrying tho bur-
den for throe years and it could
not bo oxpected that thoy would
continuo to do bo. Ho still con
bonded that 50 or 00 mon should
agreo to sign tho contract that it
was the most feasible plan then
if there was a deficiency it would
bo distributed and a greater num-
ber would bo more directly inter-
ested in rustling tho amount.
Mr. G. E. Wobb gave in tho
name of a gontleman for $25 sub-
scription and stuted that another
had wriUou to have have his
subscription extended.
Col. A. J. Baker moved tho
committeo be grantod further
timo and that they report buck to
a mooting on next Tuesday night.
Col. Bakor roforrod to the ef-
forts of 1887 to secure a railroad
und explained tho circumstances
whoroin tho committee without
a dollar in subscription had
signed a contract with tho Santa
Fo involving an oxnondituro of
over $0000. Ho recited how tho
pooulo cumo to thoir rescue und
paid overy dollur of tho amount
required Ho did not beliovo tho
Eeoplo of San Angolo would go
ack on any committee thut had
made a guarantee for tho boneiit
of its people. Boliovod with Mr.
Hill citizens interested should
como forward and sign contract
and hghton tho bunion on tho fow
that had beon carrying it for threo
years. Continuod however that
it was important to increase the
subscription now as much as pos-
sible that there might be a sur-
plus if possible rather than a de-
ficiency. Roforrod to tho secrecy
-maintained by tho right-of-way
committee us montionod by Dr.
March and oxplained why it was
desirable to adopt this course in
ordor to avoid extortionate charg-
es for property along tho lino.
Favorod his motion because he
boliovod it would onablo commit-
tee to secure nooded amount tho
carnival having provonted a
thorough canvas of- the citv
the past week Col Baker's
motion was carried ununtinounly.
C B. Metcalfe nioyt'd that coin-
.nnttee be upponited by chair tn
draft suitable resolutions for the
treatment accorded carnival as-
sociation by tho Santa Ire. Mo-
tion prevailed and the chair ap-
pointed Messrs. Motoalfo Currier
Sponco Lee and Johnson.
Geo. J. Bird referred to question
of signing contract with railroad.
Did not think it would be out of
place for those present who wore
willing to sign contract af tor thoy
had examined subscription list to
stand up or hand in their names.
Ho oiforod us a motion thut nil
present willing to sign contract
atand up. Seconded by Ohas. W.
Hobbs. Judge Hill fuvorod tho
motion. It wns n business pro-
position and those who were going
to sign would havo to hnvo time
to consider terms and bv next
meeting thoy would bo in a posi
tion to determine whether or not
it was safo for tlioin to affix their
signatures.
O. 15. Hudson volunteered his
signature.
Mr. Bird's motion was carried
unanimously.
There were twenty-two volun-
teers to the call.
Col. Baker bolioved that there
was a dozen present who wuld
sign thut hud not so indicated.
