A meeting Of the old stockholders and uihers
Interested in the reconstruction Of the Raleigh
and Castor Road, is advertised to be held in Re.
leigh on the 1sih ils,snt.
The Standard. in slluding 10 the comnunica
lion Of Mr.. Saunders. says:
"From all we can learn, we can have
no doubt that the CASTOR Road stock
will be taken and the Road putin good
condition. The income Of the Road
in its present dilapidated state. is som,
$4,000 per annum and il is agreed
we believe, on all hands. thai with goot
I iron and under prudent and ener
getic management, it will bring ii
tlD0, 900 per annum. Fifty thousand
dollars would cover all expenses, leav
ing at least six per centum to be divid
ed on the $500, 900 between the State
and the Stockholders. And if the Cen,
trail Road should be constructed, the
business Of the CASTOR Road would o.
course be greatly increased, both IL
freight and travel"
"The present charter is all tina
could have been expected of the State
under the circumstances. The Stat,
has acted in the matter with much lib
erality; and If the Road is not recon
structed, the fault will rest with thos,
most interested in its reconstruction
and in being relieved from their bonds.
