flq Whom It May Concern
The J. G. White Engineering Company of New York City, which selected
and surveyed out the route for the proposed interurban between Waco and
and Temple, has made its written report endorsing the enterprise as a business
proposition, stating that when in operation stock therein should earn a substan-
tial return on the investment the first year.
That an interurban between Waco and Temple would tremendously develop
the trade territory contiguous to Temple as well as our City itself is unques-
tioned. .
We, the undersigned citizens and property owners of Temple, approve the
plan submitted by Central Texas Electric Railway Company of building said
interurban and believe the line can be built in accordance with the plan con-
templated. 1
W«, therefore, commend the enterprise as one, in our judgment, entitled to
the hearty support of the citizenship of Temple and Bell County, and hope that
subscriptions to its stock will be liberal. „ 1
