Railroad Tax.-A petition has been
circulated in this city and largely
signed, asking the Legislature to pass
special act authorizing the City of
Tiffin to raise money by taxation for
Railroad purposes. 1t is highly prob
able that the act will be passed and
the question be submitted to a vote
at the April election. The object Of
this proposed tax is to raise money for
the purpose of buying right Of way for
theB.& o. R. R., buying sufficient depot
grounds for all the roads, including
the Continental, bridging the river,
etc. The probable amount necessary
to raise will be $4,000 although the
act viii be so drawn as to allow Of a
triie larger sum should it be needed.
Bonds are to be issued, running 4
reasonable length Of time and the
City Council win have charge of the
matter, the same as any other fund.
This mode Of raising money is prop
erin fact is the only equitable one.
BY this means all will be Obliged to nav
in proportion to their taxable propertv
and men of means will not be able to
dodge paying, for what is greatly to
their benefit with Interpretation that
men OF little or no capital, but
possessed Of greater Iiberality, will paw
for the improvements.
As for the tax, it will be very light
and will be so arranged as not to come
heavily upon any one, and it should
be voted favorably.
Gen. Gibson went to Columbus on
Tuesday with the petition and it is
expected that this act will be passed.
If the law passes we shall have more
to say upon the subject next week. In
the meantime our citizens should post
themselves upon the subject and be
prepared to vote "Railrosd Tax
Yes"

What a coincidence Of ideas !!

The Davenport Bros. will visit
this city, April 18th, and give an
entertainment at National Hall. IN
like most spiritualists they do not put
themselves under the influence of the
spirits. But on the other hand they
make the spirits do their bidding.
Their entertainments are wonderful.

Have patience gentlemen. While
you are talking, the work is progress
ing as fast as possible, as witness the
hundreds Of ties delivered daily. II
takes several days TO build 4 road Of
this magnitude, but when completed
it will prove Of immense benefit TO
this county. If there is a decrease in
the price Of freight to the merchants
Of this city all will receive a portion
ofthe benefit who come here to trade.
