BE IT RE~OLvEU, By the May6rand Council of the ,city of
,Salina, Kansas, that whereas, the "citizens of Sallnahave for
If
twenty yearS desired a railroad between Salina and OSborne, Kan-,
sas; ,and after various attempts finally caused TheSa.lina Northern
Railrolfld (;om~ny to build a railroad at a cost of approximately
One Million uollars, ,to the citizens ..in Salina and alop.g ita
route, Twenty Thousand of which was expended by the City of
Salina in terminal bonds and Thirteen Thousand uollars spent by
the citizens of Salina in financing said railroad; all of which
- '
was done for the purpose of affording quiob transportation of the
wheat and farm products of the farmers in the community through
which the road traversed to the markets and, ..
WHER.D.:AS, it is understood that the government contemplates
releasing management and control of said railroad which, if done,
would cause a financial loss. of over a milliori' dollars to the'
citizens along the route of said road ; would cause the cost of
marl{eting the products of the wheat and other crops to increase
about five hundred per cent and whereas the people of said vicin-
ity are greatly incensed at the gross injustice of the cessation
of the operation of ",said railroad which would occur if the gov-
ernment released control thereof, Now Therefore,
Bl!.: IT RE~OLv~U, By the Mayor and ~ity ~ouncil of the City
of Salina that the Federal Government be requested to retain the
control and operation of The Salina Northern Railroad Company and
that we further-convey to the government that it is our opinion that
it is necessary that said road be operated for the welfare of the
country in this war; that it would be a gross injustice to cause
the citizens of our community to lose the million clollars they have
invested in it, and that it would work ar;reat hardship upon tho
farmers along the route of said railroad to cause them to expencl
vast sums of money for transpol'tation of their grain and products
