on Kossuth, who continues TO urge fatal doctrine

West. vstg rtI

Opinions of Attorneys General of the United States

THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS, with TIC
Il majority OF the Stoc kholders, have determined
TO constr uct thisturnpikc Plank Road, running
from the city boundary Seventh street 10 the line
OF the Districtand Montgomery county, Maryland,
and for that purpose will issue ns,c stock TO the ex
tent OF seven hundred aud fifty shares, Of t,csaty
dollars each and have appointed The undersigned
to solicit and receive criptions 10 the same.
Books arc now open at our office for the purpose.
Fire dollars on each share ia to be paid at the time
OF subscribing, and n like amount every sixty
days until the whole is paid
The advantages OF such a road 10 the city, and
the property in the vicinity Of the road. must be
apparent to n conversant With its situation. There
is but little doubt that sio,iar road will be
built, connecting mis- road with Rockville and
Brookvile-the last in the midst Of fine agri-
cultural country; thus opening direct and easy
route from Montgume and the upper part OF
Anne Arundel counties to this city for the trans-
portaton OF the products Of thntond the surround
ing country.
Plank Roads are being most extensively con.
structcd throughoutfse country, and have every
'o"ere proved ptohtable Investments, paying large
dividends TO the stockholders, besides improving
the value Of property near them, and greatly in,
orpahng the trade in the places through which
they pass
considerable portion of the stock has already
bee. subscribed.
Holders Of the old stock in the company arc cnti-
tied TO share Of stock for every ioo shares
Of the DID, which will be issued to them on surren-
der of the old certificates. The new road will pro-
ready for travel. The cost will be less than l5-
900. II is thought it will pay dividend OF not ess
than five per cent the first year after IL is finished
and the dividends will steadily increase.

Judge Brocchus, of Utah Territory, (also q native
