preliminary sur
vey of the feasibility of the propos
ed extension of the Ruby and North-
ern railway from Roby to this city.
! Lawrence Last land penerul manuper '
of the Roby & Northern was with;
Mr. I'almer on the trip. i
I In company with Georpe II Shep-
of the Hoard of City '
Development the visitors made a trtp ;
of inspection over the country be-
tween Sweetwater and Roby takinc
notes of prndes and other natural
conditions of the. country to be used
as data in recommending survey
for the nirht of way for the propos-
ed extension. The party also made ;
an inspection tour of the country
south of Sweetwater to ascertain the
approximate cost of an extension fur-1
ther south at some time in the fu-
ture should the road be extended
here from Ruby.
The need for this extension has
In en recognized for aome time by
citizens of both Sweetwa'er and
Roby. and at a meeting held several
months airo hy citizens of both places
it was shown that the two towns
would support the project. Such .
connection would Rive Roby and in-;
termediate points much better
freight and passenger service to the :
east west and aouth and would open
a trade territory for Sweetwater
j Mr. Palmer returned to Kansas j
City Saturday nurht. He atated his j
intention to return to Sweetwater at i
some time within the near future at
which time he expected to see defi-;
nitc action develop on the proposed j
extension. Sweetwuter Reporter. j
