aid this important undertaking and although somearge
property holders have made handsome subscriptions vet
the great bulk Of subscribers to the above named road
OF limited means and mechanics-the bone and
snew of the community and, ctseas, although the ma
ority Of real estate have not made voluntary s
scrons the books Of the Company yet they are almost

receive for the tax paid dividend paying stock that will
not be surpassed in the world; therefore be it
Resolved That the Mayor is hereby authorized and
directed to order election in conformity to the above
ordinances to take place the third Monday in June
