The action heretofore taken by our city
has been to vote to take stock, under special
laws authorizing such acts The general
law, it will be seen, permits the loaning of
credit, and provides for sinking fund for
the gradual extinction of the Indebtedness
incurred. The city authorities have consult
ed the highest legal authority, who sustain
them in the course to be pursued
The amount to be raised by this course
will be 100000. The individual subscrib-
ers are to raise and deposit $4,000, to be
available when the city vote is made-and
thus secure the sum needed The city will
receive rs collateral security like amount
of the preferred stock ofthe company When
the amounts due from delinquent subscribers
are paid, the money can be used to pay this
loan and redeem the stock.
The voting takes place to-day Thursday
and will result in a vote of more than five
sixth, it is confidently believed, in favor of
the proposition. Two-thirds are needed to
meet the requirements of the law. Every
friend of the city and of the railroad should
deposit his ballot in its favor.

A CITY LOAN TO THE RAILROAD.

The non-payment OF their subscriptions by
the towns on the line Of the railroad, and by
individual subscribers to the stock, renders
necessary some temporary loan to bridge
over the gap thus made. If it were not for
the necessity Of completing the road by Nov.
LIST, in order to meet the lease, the enterprise
could wait the legal enforcement of these de-
mands. But as the matter stands, the money
must be had at once, OF the interest of the
city and individuals will be seriously endan-
gered. ...... ...
In this emergency our citizens have decid-
ed to have recourse to the general law of
1867, authorizing cities and towns to loan
their credit in aid of the construction of any
railroad, to the extent of five per cent. of
their valuation. The law is as follows
SECT /. Any town or city in this state may. at any
raise by tax or oan such sumo of money they shall
deem expedient not exceeding five per cent of the val
thereof for the year in which shall BE- hed
and may appropriate the same to aid in the construction
deem proper; provided that twothirds Of the legal vo
tiers and voting at such meeting shall vote there
SECT. 2. Any town or city may make such contracts
with any person railroad corporation now or herea
ter existing under the laws OF this state the purposes
mentioned in the proceeding section as they may think
necessary and may raise money or loan to carry
the same into effect not exceeding the of said
five per cent.
SECT 8. Amy town or city raising money to loan I'M
der the provisions of this act shall each year
commencing the third after such loan shall be
ed less three per cent Of the amount OF
such loan, In addition to the interest unless the same
shall be satisfactorily provided for in other way
SECT. t. Whenever any town or city shall hold any
stock In any railroad the seectmen arc authorized to
vote thereon at all meetings OF such corporation
appoint agent for that purpose, by writing
their hands
