Itr. . !right Armstrong Fort Worth & Denver 1ailway Cnpaniy 700 Fort Worth Club Building Fort Torth 2, Texas My dear Mirht: I am very grateful for your sendng c a copy of your ;res- entation of the cause of the railroad before the Houston City Council. It is very clearly expressed and will certainly be convincing to an imp artial~ auicAc.c i iavc just written , at thc instance f Vioce residentt 1scn of the Santa Fe, to those of our congressmen in Washington (some -alf dozen) whom I know personally, and urged them to support the bills that Senator Smathers of Florida has introduced; though I criticized these bills because they are not asking enough and because relief fromt the tax on railroad freight and passenger traffic charges will re- dound to the benefit of more people than almost any other measure and such benefit more easily distributed than any other method that has so far been presented. With kindest regards, Sincerely veurr,
