I believe that, at the present time, the only R & E charge under consideration is that in connection with the construction of the track serving the American Strawboard Company's plant at Quincy. Yours very truly S. E. COTTER. Chicago, October 6, 1927. Mr. S. E. Cotter, VP&GM,-Wabash Ry. Co., St. Louis, Missouri. Dear Sir: In 1925 and 1926 the C. B. & Q. completed the construction of two tracks to serve the North Star Strawboard Mills at Quincy, Ill., under AFEs 8937 and 9931, at a total cost of $4,186.80, tracks installed being shown in red on attached Burlington print 63428. These tracks lead out of track installed in 1918 which is used by the Wabash under letter of agreement dated January 11th, 1923. Your Superintendent advised that the Wabash desired to use these additional tracks under terms of contract dated January 1st, 1914 and supplement thereto dated November 1st, 1915, which contracts cover use of Burlington main line between Quincy and East Hannibal. It is understood and agreed that the Wabash shall be permitted to use the trackage shown in red on attached print, such use by the Wabash to be subject to all the terms and conditions of said contract dated January 1st, 1914 and supplement thereto dated November 1st, 1915. It is also agreed that for the use of the trackage shown in red on attached print the Wabash will pay to the Burlington the sum of $397.04, effective November 1st, 1927, computed on the following basis: Wabash wheelage proportion-87% Taxes ($100.00) Wabash proportion-50% 242.37 50.00 $397.04 Effective November 1st, 1927, bills rendered against the Wabash under said contract dated January 1st, 1914 and supplement thereto dated November 1st, 1915, shall be increased to cover the amount herein agreed to be paid by the Wabash for use of trackage shown in red on print 63428 attached. This supplemental arrangement as to said trackage shown on attached print may be terminated by either party giving the other ninety days notice in writing of its desire to terminate the same and unless so terminated shall run concurrently with and terminate with said contract dated January 1st, 1914 and supplemental agreement dated November 1st, 1915. This letter is written and executed by me in duplicate and if terms and conditions as herein set forth meet with your approval please sign both copies on behalf of the Wabash and return one copy to me for the files of the Burlington. This letter of agreement is to serve in lieu of formal supplemental contract. Referring to your letter of December 10th: We will accept rental bills for use of the two industrial tracks at the North Star Strawboard Mills, Quincy on basis of $207.21 beginning April 1, 1925, and an additional payment of $189.83, effective May 21, 1926. Your very truly, S. E. COTTER. Chicago, December 10, 1927. Mr. S. E. Cotter, VP&GM-Wabash Ry Co., St. Louis, Mo. Dear Sir: Please be referred to your letter of December 8th, file 6604-B, about my letter of October 6th, 1927, concerning additional payments to be made by the Wabash on account of two tracks serving the North Star Strawboard Mills at Quincy, Ill., which tracks were constructed under our AFEs 8937 and 9931. The track constructed under AFE 8937 was completed on March 31st, 1925 and the track constructed under AFE 9931 was completed on May 21st, 1926. My letter of October 6th states that the increased payments to be made by the Wabash are to be effective November 1st, 1927. When this date was inserted it was with the idea that your Company had just commenced use of the trackage in question, but my attention has just been called to the fact that you have had the use thereof ever since the tracks were completed. Under the circumstances there is no question but what your Company should pay increased payments effective date tracks were completed. Therefore, I propose, for your consideration, that your Company pay increased rental amounting to $207.21, effective April 1st, 1925, for track constructed on AFE 8937 and $189.83, effective May 21st, 1926, for track constructed under AFE 9931. I shall be glad to receive advice from you that this is acceptable to your Company. Yours truly, W. F. THIEHOFF. INDEX ALTON AND SANGAMON RAILROAD COMPANY, THE Feb. 27, 1847 Act of Incorporation...
