ANDERSEN, If; I ti'Pigtribmtors of Mod : r 1 """' CONWAY CITIZENS I WANTROAD MOVED There is not a citizen of Conway who does not realize that the trains of the Atlantic Coast Line passing daily over the main street of the town, creates a nuisance since the town has grown larger. Years ago when the town was small and the people were -glad ?to gpt a railroad no matter where; the tracks should be laid, this did n6t matter; it is now a different proposition. , v? Since the property of the railroad is located there, it looks hard to require them to move it without induce merit, or compensation of some kind for their loss and trouble. It is believed that if the rights of way were offered free to the Atlantic Coast Line so that they could come in with I their tracks through the western suburbs, that the company would move the tracks to the new location without any further protest concerning the change. Since the people are interested in getting the road moved and in some manner that would be satisfactory to the owners of the railroad, a citizens I meeting should be culled and a committee appointed to negotiate for the rights of way. Those who would refuse to give the land for the rights of way under the circumstances would be acting foolishly, as the road in that section of the town would bc? a*i improvement which would raise the value of all the holdings. 0 NOTICE.
