We are in favor of the tax, and for
several reasons, and ifyou for several
reasons are not inrfavor OF IT, we say

that a Railroad may never bother you

benefited more than you,s and with
most this begins the division why we are
in favor and you opposed The situa-
ton is this. The road has been on hands
many wears, that you all know. 1t has
been promised many times, that you all
know, but every time it came nearer
completion until this time, the track is
ready for the iron for the first thirty
miles and moro coming. Money is gone
and more must be coming to save wha'
is already invested. You know a mar

So soon as this vote is made in favo
of the tax, it becomes a yestage RICH
in the Railroad and can be used as col
lateral security in the purchase of iron
Capitalists have offered to advanc

to secure them. The money will the
get the iron and the work progress rap

be made in track-laying in the wint'
than in summer. SO there will be n

The tax, if voted for cannot be levi'
