The policy of this Railroad company is to
push on the work Of construction as fast as
is practical; and the directors now propose
and strongly desire t. place the whole Of the
/ line located under contract within the next
FIVE months, whilst the final surveys, releases
of right of way, and stock subscriptions are
being completed northwardly from Old Town
creek, and through the State of Tennessee.
! But the first, and only prerequisite to the
making of contracts is, that the amount of
capital neodedfor the completion of the local
work should first be made up By subscriptions
for the whole 234 miles.
The directors are fully satisfied that this
length, added to the 83 miles new receiving
the iron tracks, and making together 26T
miles, will of itself directly and indirectly
lpay an abundant revenue to the stockholders
and enable the company tonegotiate for iron
and machinery upon very favorable terms as
to time and interest.
To show that the stock can and should at
Ionce be made up, it seems only necessary to
LAY before the public mind thefollowing state
mcnts:
First That the above mentioned sum Of
| 81, 236,576 for local work will be required
and expended in the several counties through
which the road will pass as follows:
In Mobilecounty from Chronicle to
the State line 283 miles S299 ,555
/" Wayne do 81 900, $50
Clarke do 286I0" 249, 788
+" Lauderdaledo 343 g 347 ,449
Kempcr do 26 Is 269, $50
Noxubee do 90 II 247 ,4S0
g Lowndes do 26 Is /" 246, 200
I" Monroe do II Is i" $4,000
e Chickasaw do 123 G 120,665
Total length and cost ga miles, S2,236,.
1916. Divided at the south line Of Kempcl
county, the length-of road to Chronicle is
1858 miles, and the estimated cost Of local
work, ST ,186,9S1 North Of the same Ken
per line, the length to the south line Of Pom
totoe county IS 1851 miles and the cost Of th(
local work, 81 ,049, 595
Second. That the $1,186,981 required
south of Kemper county, viii be furnished
as follows: BY a subscription by the citizen
of Mobile, through the city councils, Of , pc
ct. per. annum for years upon the assesse,
value Of the real estate of the city, which wi
yield the sum Of 81, 100, 00t
BY sub. in Lauderdale CO. Miss. 10000
do Clarke do do 5000
do Wayne 90 do 5000
Total $3.50, go
Which gives balance over the sam requil
cd sufficient to meet any unforeseen contingor
cics, This subscription by the city may a
ready be counted as made by tie preyahn
public sentimentm its fayQrand only val
for legal sanction by the Alabama legisl
" ture in November neyf. Laudardale count
had subscribed SIG, 600, and Clarke count
$1,000 in August last, leaving ct th}t tin
as S54.g00 in Lauderdale, S43 coo in CLARK
g and $50, GOO il Wayne, to beIlede UP. 3
Is it must be borne in mind, that in Wayne ]
effort whatever has yet been made to get 81
ri scriptions- not much IN l.auderdale, exec
7Pi by one gentleman, Mr, Rushing, and st
&c less in Clarke There Is no doubt But the
''l0 counties, as the road is now located, can a
/, q viii easily make up the small amount j
oe- spectiyely attached to them before Janua
~ next
