the meeting at Washington on the 9th inst
ADOPT the following resolution:
Resolved, That we cordially endorse thu
position taken by Judge Young, in refusing
to issue the bonds Of the county for $50 ,OOt
on the conditions required by the Railroad
Company, and at the same time his willing
ness to issue said bonds, provided the Rail
road Company issue certificates of stock di
rect to the county for the same, and resum
the work on said road in this county.
A resolution recommending vote of tn
county on a proposition to subscribe $500,
900 to the Railroad Company, in place O.

people of Washington expect the M. & NJ
K. r. Co. to deviate from their e,tablishe,
rule with regard to issuing stock for count
subscriptions, we are inclined to think the
will be mistaken. The only effect thei
present action will have will be. to della
The completion of this road to their place.
