the junking of the road was
issued at that time.
I state it as my belief and I
believe the records will bear me
out that unless the road is sold
on September 4 an crder will be
issued permitting the junking of
the road.
An expense fund was made up
at the first meeting. It has been
exhausted. The attorneys in the

My conclusions are’ these: If
tho people want this road to con
tinue operation they must take
the $35,000 in bonds, else, imme-
diately after September 4, the
road will be ordered junked. Re
course, will perhaps, lie in the
State courts in the form of an
injunction forbidding the remo-
val of the rails—but that will
cost money and we have none for
