[in manila envelope with Item 1 above] "Proposed Construction by Mexican Government of Railroad from Terminus of Inter-California Southern Railway to the Gulf. Possible Sale Inter-California to Mexican Government. Possible Abandonment I.C.S." File No. 080-2, Part 1. From (~1.25"). More of the same about the ICS, and probably lots of good material detailing SPM interaction with Mexican govt. Hey! Harry Chandler of The Times was apparently the original owner, who sold part or all of it to SPM. (See letter dated 9/16/36 from Walter Douglas to Hale Holden. Douglas seems exceptionally frank in his letters. More discussion about the possible sale of this line to Mexican government. Note that Item 2 precedes Item 1 chronologically; they were out of order in the box so I've left them that way

"Income and Absentee Taxes on Equipment Rents -- Mexico." File No. SPM 073, Part 3. From (~1.25"). More material on issues of rental and income taxes between Mexican govt. and SPM. Largely covers the issue of the 4% Exportation of Capital Tax placed upon the SPM by the Mexican government. The SPM seems to have wanted to appear as a Mexican corporation when convenient, and as a U.S. corporation when convenient

"Income and Absentee Taxes on Equipment Rents -- Mexico." File SPM 073, Section 1. From (~1") More material on hassles between Mexican govt. and SPM. One question asked herein: "In view of the fact that SPdeM settled with the Mexican Government last November for the income taxes accrued on equipment rentals from April 1, 1925 to Oct. 31, 1934, and has billed the amounts involved against the foreign roads that earned the rental, should SPCo. now invoke the statute of limitations in connection with similar bills rendered against it by other Mexican roads?" Many potentially good items, including letter from E.B. Sloan of SPM to Walter Douglas of SPM noting that he'd met with the Mexican Secretary of Finance [Narciso Bassols] the previous night and discussed the application of the income tax on rentals of foreign cars and equipment (letter dated 4/16/35). Also includes other letters to and from Mexican government
