HAVANA CENTRAL SUIT 



A suit against the City of Havana has been 

 brought by the Havana Central Railroad to 

 recover a tax of $8,911 imposed by the city, 

 which the company believes is not just, and for 

 the imposition of which the city officials had 

 no authority. 



Othei companies, who are restive under the 

 same kind of taxation, are naturally watching 

 the case with great interest. 



Dr. Antonio Sanchez de Bustamente is the 

 counsel for the railroad. 



A new street car shortly to be tried iP 

 Havana by the Havana Electric Railwa f 

 Company, runs on the regular, but in case o 

 congestion, it can leave the tracks and run on 

 the roadway like an automobile. 



President W. H. Beardsley, of the Florida 

 East Coast Railway; Vice-President W. K. 

 Keenan, of New York; Vice-President 

 J. T. Beckwith, of Jacksonville, Fla., and 

 other railroad officials w^ere in Havana re- 

 cently to make final arrangements for the 

 Havana terminal of the Key West ferry.
