Colonel Webster, of Newport, made rev
remarks. Although the people OF Campoeil

After some discussion General Warner was

GAS to the question of the capital STOCK,
can be guided ony by the charter. The pro.
position is simply this: to make the capita!
stock do Just all it will towards building the
road, and by proper management the capltal
stock could be made 10 yield fair returns 10
from three to five years after the com letion
of the road. 1 give this as my pest )uog'
ment. The opinion has been expressed 10
me By eminent railroad.men that the STOCK
could be made to yield profit after SUM

ness of the road. After the road Is fully
under way the stock will be valuable.
al would suggest that the gentlemen pre-
sent here from the various counties consider
the question in regard to the division of the
proposed 81, 100000 between the river coun'
| ties, and that after consultation among them
selves they shall inform US of their views IN
the matter, and whether they think that the
| proposed subscription can be secured IN
their several counties. The Board does not
propose to go before the people in any other
way"
