be PERMITTED longer to delay the work.
We do not think they will. There is
no force or reason in such an srgu.
ment.
Cleveland has pro6ted immensely
from the aid she has given to our lead
ing railroads. These roads have made
the city what it is. But besides the
general benefits of the trade, the city's
railroad stocks have turned out q capital
investment. In 1S47 the city sub
scribed 500, 600 to the Cleveland and
Pittsburgh road. Subsequently the
stock was sold for $5 900. In the
same year 500, 600 was voted to the
Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati
railroad. The stock was afterwards
sold at premium which paid for itself
and the Pittsburgh stock besides. Ifthese
stocks had been held, instead of being
sold, the city would have made money
by the operation. In 1851 the
CITY voted 100000 to the Cleveland,
gainesville and Ashtabula railroad,
long since consolidated with the Lake
Shore road. This stock the city
still holds, and has found
it mine Of wealth. Out of this $780,
600, and the surplus realized from the
sale of the Cleveland, Columbus and
Cincinnati stock, the city has accumu-
lated a sinking fund which nom amounts
10 the immense aggregate of$l, BIZ ,55O.79,
from which the net income for the year
1871 was $92,354 II. The city owns
to-day 100000 Of Lake Shore stock,
which has cost it nothing, but which
has grown, accumulated, piled itself up,
out of the earnings of the 800, 900 in
vested in that road twenty years ago,
besides enriching the city treasury by
over 100000 more, all or nearly all Of
which has come from the same prolific
source.
There is every reason to believe that
the stock OF the Valley road will be a
good investment. Though not through
