The law, passed at the late session
Of the Legislature, to enable town
ships and incorporated towns and
cities to vote tax upon themselves
to aid in the construction OF Rail-
roads, We publish to-day on ti,st
page. This law is, in many respects,
we believe, different from the one
passed two Yeas ago, and pronounc.
ed unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court. We have hoped that this
law is so surely guarded and safely
wordcd that 1t will stand the legal
test. It is a law that has been very
much needed, and will be exceeding
lv efficient III the encouraSe cement OF
railroad building. It's chief merit
is, that it distributes the burden up
on the shoulders of those who will
reap the benefits. In several coun.
ties of the State, we sec that calls
are already made for elections under
this law. We hope that this county
does not propose to decline the ben
fits that it offers.
