meeting of the citizens was held, last even |
ing In the Court House, and was organized by |
electing Hon. Geo. B. Rodney President, and
James M. HousemAn Secretary. Tho following
resolutions we're unanimously adopted;
Resolued, That the citizens Of the town OF
Newcastle have met together, in public meet
ing, for the purpose of considering
questions vital to our interests individually and
collectively but more especially to devise ways
and means for building the Wilmington d New
Castle Marrow Gauge r. r. This we pledge
ourselves to attempt, and not cease our exertionH
until our efforts shall be crowned with success,
and we shall indeed reap a rich reward when
we see ourselves in hourly communication
with thelwhole outside world, and by means as
cheap, as ready and al available to the poor
man as TO the more fortunate possessor Of land
and houses.
Resolued, That we see In the building Of this
road uot the mere getting Of our present popu-
lation from New Castle to Wilmington and back,
but we see in the future a far greater result
the development Of the intervening country
| the laying OF water and gas mains between Will
mington and New Castle, on the line Of the
road-thus forming r. r. Avenue. Near and
| remote to this, we hope to see the homes OF
comfort and prosperity, as we'll as the busy
hands Of the manufacturer from the very heart
| OF our own town to the banks of the Ohristiana.
ResOlued That we can point with some de-
| gree of pride to the improvements brought
about by us within the last ten years
abe building Of the Water Works, at large
| cost, guaranteeing protection AZ we'll as COM
for the appropriation Of $27 900 by the U. b.
| Government to commence the improvement OF
| our hArbor, the Inauguration of proper move
ment which we sincerely hope will end In 30 re-
modelling the coal wharf AZ not render adjoining
private property useless. and we here express
the hope that the President Of the Reading and
the P. W. q B. R. r. will take immediate steps
to abate this injury to those who are disposed
| neither TO be captious or unreasonable.
ResOlped, That we hereby recommend to the
Board Of Trustees Of Newcastle Common, to Ap-
propriAte satisfactory sum of money yearly to
the W. h N. O. Marrow Gauge Railroad Com,
the first Tuesday in October
and April, Of each year, until the Board Of Di
rsotors Of said Railroad shall be able to declare
an annual dividend Of six per cent. to the Stock
holders free Of all taxes, or such other arrange
ments az shall guarantee the building and or or
| alton of the road.
Resolued That should the yearly income oil
the Board Of Trustees Of the New CASTLE Com
mon be insufficient TO meet this additional de-
mand, we beg them not to refuse the appropn
alton on this account, but TO raise the additionA
sum needed by levying school tnx, which they
hAvo a right to do, under law, or charge sucl
sum quarterly for each scholar attending thl
Schools as shall make up the deficiency, or II
such other way as may appear to them more fit
provided that majority of the voters of til,
town 80 decree, at an election called for thu
purpose, by the Board Of Trustees Of the n q
Common.
Resolued, That ii is the sense Of this meatinI
that we will be fully justified and amply repai
| for pursuing this course for from the construc
ton of this road we shall look for immediate an
substantial improvements in our midst pro
= perty now holding merely nominal price to b
sought for at large advance peopl
now poor soon to become thrifty wit
. the increased opportunities Offering 70
3 labor and enterprise, and where our tow
I is now receiving Sl0 005 for her lands, yearly
she will, at distant day, expect to receive to
Q times $4,000. With this large sum availAbl
for improvements we have only to make homes
sxertion, and SUCCESS must crown our effort
and city rise in our midst.

q vide that the resolutions be handed to the Pres
