THE following petition represents truly
the sense of our citizens, as far as we
know it:
To the Mayor AID Aldermen of Memphis:
The undersigned, taxpayers of this city,
have understood that there was propo-
sition before you for a sale of the stock
of the city in the Memphis and Little
Rock railroad for about one-tenth of its
cost, and much less than its value.
We think it unwise aud bad policy for
the city to part with her interest in this
and other roads, and protest against any
sale of the city's stock.
Very respectfully,
