State of bad debt amounting 10 100000

the provisions of an old charter, as far
as Milford and to ask of the State 100000
in aid of the project. The friends OF the
measure think the Legislature will read.
lily vote this sum, and are of the
opinion that If they had asked an appro-
priation of about s4OO,000 at the time
they requested their charter, they would
have received both. The bill in its new
form will not be brought up until early
next week. It will be amended, I am
told, when up for inal consideration, by
Inserting a clause apTopriutiug 100000
TO the Georgetown and seaford Railroad
Company, that the tracks of the Dor
chester and Delaware road may be eS-
tended to Georgetown. Many urge that
this amendment will kill the bill, hut
others think that it can only pass with
such an amendment attached. Time
and votes will settle the difference OF
opinions.

against the bill that its passage and the

the State, the corporators named In tus
aet agreed to an amendment making the
new company responsible. for every cent
of the money loaned the j. 81 b. Com

agrees to give one company 100000 to
construct a certain railroad, and refuses
equally pure and honest men a charter
for which they guarantee the payment to

ever, to be cancelled, amounting 10 $780,

legislation, the quantity Of either Is too
small to be discerned with the naked eye.
