ALBANY Is NOT BONDED YET.-Mr.
tlitor: In your correspondents locals
st week from Albany, he ends the
ame by saying, ''better be men and
end for the railroad, than be sinks and
pnd for everlasting contempt" Now
is quite easy to talk about bonding
bany, but to do it is another thing.
we should bond the town for thirty
housand dollars, this in 20 years would
mount to one hundred and fifteen thou
and seven hundred and seventy three
ollars at seven per cent annual inter-
st. The law allows emi-annual, which
Eould increase the sum. Then if we
Eere to divide this amount into twenty
aual parts, we find it would make five
housand seven hundred and eighty
ight dollars and sixty-ive cents, yearly.
he man that has list of two dollars
ould have to pay for his share, over
ixty dollars; the man that has a list of
en dollars would have to pay over three
undred and SIX dollars; the man that
rs a list of twenty dollars would have
pay over six hundred and twelve dol
hrs. Then in addition to thiswe would
ave to pay the collector twice year to
pllect this semi-annual interest. All of
his we should be liable to without be-
pg sure of a dollar back. We talk
bout eight dollars on a dollar of the
ist, but this is but trife more than
he quarter 1t will take over thirty
ollars on a dollar of the grand list, be-
bre we get through with the twenty
ears at seven per cent. Now, Mr. Edi-
pr, am told by some of your towns
ben, that there are quite number of
arms in Barton that can be bought
heaper than they could year before
he railroad was built, and Barton did
hot bond either. We very we'll know
that enough of railroads are fine thing
pnd benefit, but will it pay to bond
Albany? l say "No, not by any means,
pm any conditions whatever" Although
we are somewhat dependent on railroads,
30 are railroads companies dependent on
farmers and others for their freight and
passengers, and they have to pay for it
too. Now where is the everlasting con.
tempt, cor everlasting loss" Almost
daily we hear the moan coming up from
the towns south, west and north of u.
that have bonded for other railroads
But it is to late for them now. They
have got the everlasting thing on t.
them, sick but it don't do any good, they
can't shake it of. Now let me appea
to our townsmen before it is to late, t,
look out for railroad companies, and thi
everlasting excitement about buildin!
rail roads.
