PLANK -WASHlNGTONAN AND ROCK
WILLIE TURNPIKE COMPANY,

WILLIE IO16NRlhAt COhFANN'
TINHE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS with the
Il majority of the Stockholders, have determined
to construct this turnpike Plank Road, running
from the city boundary Seventh street to the line
of the District md Montgomery county, Maryland,
and for that purpose will issue stock to the
tent OF seven hundred and fifty shares, of tpenty
dollars each, and have appointed the undersigned
to solicit and receive subscriptions to the same.
Books are now open at cur Office for the purpose.
Fire dollars on each share ID to be paid 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 its situation. There
is but little doubt that similar road will be
built, connecting this road with Rockville and
Brookvilc-thc last in the midst of a fine agri-
cultural country; thus opening direct and easy
route from Montgomery and the upper part Oi
Anne Arundel counties TO this city for the trans
portaton of the products of that and the surround
ing country.
Plank Roads are being most extensively con-
structed throughout the country, and have eUery-
tcheTe proved profitable investments, paying large
dividends to The stockholders, besides improving
the value of property 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 arc cnti
tied 70 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 Sl5,-
600. 1t is thought il will pay dividend Of not less
than five per cent the first year after it is finished,
and the dividends will steadily increase.
