WILLIE TURNPIKE COMPANY.

VILE TURNPIKE COMPANY
VNHE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS, with the
Il majority Of the Stockholders, have determined
to constr uct on this turnpikea Plank Road, running
from the city boundary Seventh street to the line
of the District and Montgomery county, Maryland,
and for that purpose will issue nelp stock to the
tent of seven hundred and fifty shares, of hpentiy
dollars each, and have appointed the undersigned
to solicit and receive subscriptions to the same.
Books are now open at our Office for the purpose.
Fiue dollars 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 a road to the city, and
the property in the vicinity of thearoad must be
apparent to all conyersant with ts situation. Taoro
Is but little doubt that similar road will soon be
built, connecting this road with Rockville and
| Brookville-the last in the midst of a 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-
portation OF the products of that and the surround
| ing country.
Plank Roads are being most extensively con-
structed throughout the country, and have every
phere proved profitable investments paving 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
A considerable portion of the stock has already
been Subscribed.
Holders of the old stock in the company are cnti-
tied to share of stock for every shares
of the old, which will be issued to them surren-
der of the old certificates. The new road will pro-
bably be finished in less than twelve months and
ready for travel The cost will be less than s 49,
900. 1t is thought it will pay dividend of not less
than five per cent the first year after it is finished
and the dividends will steadily increase.
