OFFICE OF EVANSVILLE HENDERSON
AND NASHVILLE RAILROAD, NASHVILLE
June. 10, 1868. To The Honorable, The B0drC
Of Commissioners Of Davidson County: II
1858, the County Of Davidson subscribed
100000 TO the capital stock of the Louis
Vile and Nashville Railroad Company.
The county has received cash dividend,
on her stock in the Louisville and Nash
Vile railroad, since the beginning of 1864
with which and other means of the county
S62. 600 Of the bonds have been paid off and
retired, leaving $23S,000 of the bonds o
the county issued to that road outstanding
In addition TO the cash dividends re
ceived. the county has received, or is en-
titled to receive itty per cent. in stock divi
dends--ten per cent. declared in 1862 anC
forty per cent declared in February, 1868
The County Of Davidson has now 1922,
GOO Of stock on the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad. She owes in bonds $23S, 00I
which were issued TO pay for her stock.
The object the County Of Davidson ha'
in making the subscription of 100000 4
the capital stock of the Louisville an,
Nashville railroad, was not 10 make an in
vestment which would yield profit, in Ia,
form of dividends, but the purpose wa
rather 10 secure TO the County of Davidson
and the city of Nashville, the advantage
which would result from the building o
The railroad. Whatever of benefit was i
he derived from building the Louisville
and Nashville railroad has been realized
ItisheIieved that there are other roadswhi
will be of equal and greater advantage ans
benefit to Nashville and Davidson count,
than the Louisville and Nashville railroad
and that il would be in harmony with tn
spirit which prompted that subscription q
Weld aid 10 other roads, and re appropri
ate The proceeds Of this same subscription
10 the building Of a road which will con
fer ai least equal, and il is believed mucl
greater benefits on Nashville and David
son county. IL the same means, or ID
proceeds. the stock Of the Louisville aut
and Nashville railroad, can be used to Sc
cure the building Of another road, and on
20 he more profitable aud advantageous {,
the county Of Davidson and the city Q
Nashville, il would appear 10 be the in
terest of the county 10 so use and appro
priate IT, And a. often as il can be mad
productive Of such benefits il would seem
II ought 20 be converted and used, and thu
rendered Of the greatest and oontinuali,
Increasing value. The county Of David
son and city Of Nashville have now doubl
the population they had when the sub
scription was made.
New, believing the Evansville, Hender
sop and Nashville railroad will prove 70 b
al greater advantage and bring greater ben
e6ts 10 the city Of Nashville and "a
county Of DavidsoH than were ever q:
rived from the Louisville and NashVui
railroad, respectfully propose 10 tn
Honorable Board Of Commissioner
Davidson county, that they sell SEvV,oV
or $500, coo OF the Louisville an
Nashville Railroad Company etoc
