Interurban line meeting raises funds and interest
Little Rock citizens filled the Auditorium skating rink to back the Hot Springs to Little Rock interurban line. Several hundred attendees and Hot Springs business leaders saw about $20,000 collected in minutes and committees formed to canvass stock sales. The plan calls for $500,000 in 6 percent preferred stock with $1 in common per SI paid, and Gardner’s $1000 deposit risked if titles fail. Duncan McRae won Vanderbuilt University Founder's Medal after high honors in law. He will arrive today at Prescott to receive local congratulations.
