THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS, with the
Il majority OF the Stockholders, have determined
to construct on this turnpike Plank Road running
from the city boundary Seventh street 10 the line
OF the District and Montgomery county, Maryland,
and for that purpose will issue stock to the
tent of seven hundred and fifty shares, of t,ueny
dollars each, and have appointed the undersigned
to solicit and receive subscriptions to the same.
Books arc now open at our office for the purpose.
Fire dollars on each share Is to be paid at the time
of subscribing, and like amount every sixty
days until the whole is paid.
The advantages of such road to the city, and
the property in the vicinity of the road, must be
apparent TO all conversant with it's situation There
is but little doubt that similar road will soon be
built, connecting this road with Rockville and
Brookvile-thc last in the midst of fine agri-
cultural country; thus opening direct and easy
route from Montgomery and the upper part OF
Anne Arundel counties to this city for the trans
portaton Of the products of that and the surround
ing country.
Plank Roads arc being most extensively con-
structed throughout the country, and have every
iphere proved profitable investments, paying large
dividends TO the stockholders, besides improving
the value of property near them, and greatly in
creasing the trade in the places through which
they pass
considerable portion of the stock has already
been subscribed
Holders of the old stock in the company are cnti-
tied to one share Of stock for every fico shares
of the old, which will be issued to them on surren-
der of the old certificates. The new road will pro-
baby be finished in less than twelve months and
ready for travel. The cost will be less than & l5,-
900. 1t thought it will pay dividend of not less
than hive per cent the first year after it finished,
and the diyidends will steadily increase.
