Statement Of Judge Oshmrn in
relation TO Rail Road Bonds
and Interest.

We are requested 10 publish The fol
lowing statement Of Judge Osborn to
meet a general desire for information on
The subject.
The undersigned having been frequently
asked for information in record TO the one hun
dred thousand dollars ich Wapeilo county
voted to aid iu the constructing Of the Bur-
ling.on g. Missouri river Railroad, would give
the following as the facts in the case. The
Company when the county subscribed that
stock, had the promise of the necessary aid
to build the road, from capitalists in the east,
and put the road under cont act and common
ced the work; and, as the county Of Wapello
had agreed to issue bonds to the amount of five
per- cent a month on the one hundred thousand
when called for, and, after the work had
been progressing for three months or more,
when they called for bouds, ISSUED them 10
the amount of thirty thousand dollars, Short
ly after that they found that those men east,
on whom they relied for the aid to build the
road, failed to comply with their promise, to
take stock, and the work stopped. AS the coun-
ty and private subscription of this county had
to be applied in this county and the work, as
before stated, havh & stopped, the bonds that
were issued are not used, and now the eompa-
ny have made another contract with otler
Contractors, and ask the county Of Wapello to
take 100000 more stock and permit them to
use the first subscription ana they agree to
bind themselves in bond and such security a
the county may require, that the said road shall
be built to the town of Otturhxa by the first
day of January A. d. 1858, and that the coun-
~ shall not be required to pay ~lnteres, on their
bonds, neither shall they draw interest until
the said road is finished and delivered to the
Company.
For the satisfaction IF all concerned, I will
say, that So FAR asi may depend upon any ac-
tion Of mine, no security will sc received, but
such aswill satisfy any reasonable man, and be
deemed ample security.
