In addition to the foregoing report, we have under construction and nearly graded, fifty-four miles of road from a connection with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, at Wauzeka, northward to Bloomingdale, in Vernon county. We have delivered to towns and individuals along this line $30,000 of first mortgage 8 per cent. ten year bonds, issued on the division from Wauzeka northward. We have outstanding obligations for the delivery of about $25,000 more. The whole amount of bonds in the foregoing report, namely, $88,000, are held by towns along the line of road; we are making arrangements which are nearly consummated, for the refunding of all our outstanding bonded indebtedness, with a first mortgage 6 per cent. bond, payable in the year 1909, to be issued at the rate of $6,000 per mile, of constructed road on all lines constructed and in contemplation in this State, amounting to 280 miles. We have also contracts with most of the towns for a surrender of a large part of our outstanding bonded indebtedness, depending upon extensions. STATE OF WISCONSIN — County of Grant — ss. P.
