Mr. EDITOR Last evenine.ar The Citv
Hall In this city, new move WAS ma de IN
the uattet cl the Mar, sville and Nevada

feeling seems 10 have too much 10 do with
the whole matter, and this is embarrassing
its progress. By its amended charter
the city has power to subscribe the above
named sum. A party of men some three
or four weeks since issued call for
meeting. made themselves officers &c, and
subscribed altogether about 81 600 to the
road. The city put down its $350,000,
and all went on swimmingly. till the citi.
zens began to ask how much bonds tn. city
would have to issue to raise its proportion.
On figuring up probabilities it was set
down to half a million. Public opinion
finally grew so strong in the matter that
the comps ny dissolved. A new and more
general call was then issued. signed by
nineteen citiSens, eight of whom convened
last night, besides large number of 9TH
ers interested. After many very idle dis
cussions about preli.rinaries, such as if the
eight could act for the nine required by
statute, induced by remains of jealousy on
the part of the defunct organization, the
meeting went fairly at work. Gilbert E
Winters, Mayor of Marysville. was elected
president OF the company. Horace Leach,
Secretary, and Mark Brumagin, Treas
urer. The company expect to obtain sub
scriptions in Marysvile to the amount of
$4,000; from the city. 100000 in
cash, and of Nevada county the balance
In order to raise the S200,000 it is pro-
posed to get another alteration of the city
charter, so that dir. ct tax may b. laid to
that amount for the road on the citizens,
giving to each tax payer the amount Of
his tax in stock in the road This propo-
sition is now before the council, and will
be acted on within u week. Perhaps it is
one of the best ways to raise the money,
but it is by no means indispensable to save
the city from loss. If the city would but
her bonds to the extant of
$3.50 900 for the sum Of 100000, she
~ ght at once raise the money, and run no
risk Of depreciation of the bonds But ]
