Bopd Meeting m white Cloud.

As suggested in the Chief there a meeting Of
the taxpayers of White Cloud and vicinity, held ut
the Mayors Office, Saturday, May 18th, lS7-Giles
A. Briggs Chairman A. S. Brewster, Secretary-to
determine what course should be taken in regard
the Railroad bonds of the County.
At the request of the Chairman Hon. X. N. Will
ams, in few brief remarks stated the object of the
meeting. He said that there q strong, growing
feeling that the property of the County bur
dened with taxation that the people could not longer
endure it; that they the verge Of bankruptcy,
if already bankrupt that te- object Of this meet
ing was to see If some compromise could not be had
with the holdefs of Railroad bonds against the Coun
ty; that in order 10 enforce compromise, we must
determine to uphold the County Commissioners in
refusing to levy tax to pay Of the interest ON the
bonds, or the prncipal that action must be such
a. will show to the bondholders that if they make
war, itmust be waged not against individuals, not
against the County Commissioners, but against the
whole people of the County.
On notion the Chair appointed Mayor Taylor, DIR.
Pugsey, and J. S. Springer committee to draft res
olutions.
The committee returned the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, In 1867, 100000 of the bonds of Doni-
to hs ses and and s.
sepb and Denver City Railroads, said subscription
having been made and said bonds issued under the
presumed authority of the voters Of said County
and
WHEREAS Any action of said voters in regard to
said subscription and bonds was based upon nlisrep-
reservations made to them to the ultimate value Of
said stocks the benefits in business, and the advance
in real estate to be derived from the building Of said
roads, and the assurance that the taxes sssessed
against the would not only pay the accrung in
terest upon said bonds but the bonds also, they
should mature, and result finally in . revenue for
said County; and
WHEREAS, Instead of such results, our business,
within the past six year, has decrsssed. real
estate in consequence of high taxes has depreeia

small in comparison with the amount necessary to
meet the interest of, or eventually hquidate said
