~ We have heard it constantly repeated
In the streets for the Last three days, that the
Withholding of the city bonds could not ar
rest the mpletion of the Straight Line Rail
Road; that one hundred thousand dollars was
but a small per cent Of the means to build a
road that was to cost three or four millions.
But at this moment it is an important item,
and in the present TRANSACTION IL is all I'm
portant- The contractors have exhausted in
q good degree'their cash means. The iron
can be bough. on credit; but the freight and
duties must be paid in cash.. T. r
Before the iron leaves England, funds must
be had to meet freight and dnties. The bonds
of an unfinished railroad cannot be sold for
any price for cash. 1t is useless to order the
iron without the means to pay the freight and
duties. If 1t should arrive without such pro-
vision, the iron would be sold for the charges
in five days after it came into port, for what
1t would bring perhaps half itA cost. The
only resource to meet this cash demand is the
ibonds of the city. 1t is for this reason that
%.he bonds are all-imporsant at this time to
The contractors. .''''i
