TO SELL, OR NOT TO sRLLg
A Grave Question for the People of
Davidson County.

To the Voters of Davidson County
We, the undersigned, were appointed a
committee by she County Court, at its July
term, 1874, to urge upon you the import
ance OF giving to the County Court the au-
thority to sell the stock of the county in
railroads, whenever a majority of the Court
may think it advisable, and a fair price. can
be obtained.
In 1888 a majority Of the voters Of the
county instructed the County Court 10 take
one million Of stockin railroads-that is to
say, in the
Louisville Railroad. 500 600
Edgeileld and Kentucky Railroad. 2OO,OOO
Nashville and Decatur Railroad. 100000
northwestern Railroad. ...... 100000

SlJOO-ON

sl,O0O, 900
The bonds of the county were issued for
the stock above stated, to mature One-third
in %. One-third in "A, and One-third in rs.
There have been redeemed of these
bonds, S579, 900, leaving a balance of S21,-
600. AT the July term of the court, in 1873,
a special taA was levied, which, in its opin-
ion, would amount 10 sixty-five or seventy
thousand dollars year. This is not salts
factory 10 the bOndhOldeIs, though burden
some to the taxpayers. The court is not
willing TO levy greater tax, though judg-
ments have been obtained in the Federal.
Circuit and Law Courts for over $4,000.
and other suits are pending in the same
courts foI a large amount. The stock of
the county in railroads is liable to be levied
upon and sold by the United States Mar
shal and sheriff of the county at its present
value, for mere nominal sum, and then
a mandanus could he obtained from the
Judge Of the Circuit Court, compelling
the County Count 10 levy a tax sufficient
TO pay the bonds now duv, which would
be -uinOus TO large portion of the tax
payers.
The court is of the opinion that, should
you authorize them TO sell The stock, with
the pledge that it has made, not to appro-
pirate the proceeds Of sale of stock to any
other purpose than TO liquidate the bonded
debt due, the bOndhOlders would be
willing to wait until better price Could
be obtained for the stock, and the court
continuing the levy Of the special tax of
1873.
If an occasion should arise whereby an
advantageous sale Of stock could be made,
the court could not cOnsummate it unless
authorized by the voters to do so.
By selling stock in railroads at a fair
price, and aPpropriating proceeds TO the
payment of county bonds, the taxpayers
would be relieved Of the special tax now
levied, and the tax tOpay the interest on
the bonds not yet due would be only nomi-
nal. We therefore urge you, if desirOus of
reducing your taxes, TO have ON your tickets
s'Sale.-
No.e.-The bonds not yet due are those
of the Tennessee and Pacific railroad, which
amount to 100000, and fall due in 1850
and 90.
The question for the people to determine
is whether you will authorize a sale Of
stock owned by them in the railroads, or
will yOu permit the Marshal Of the United
States 10 sell under execution.
