Mr.. Bowman declined TO give other
security than .hz. provided for IN the
ct of Congress- bond secured by
mortgage on the road-bed and equip
meuts-for the operation of the road
the prescribed per;od-twenty-fire
years. The next difficulty resulted
from Mr.. Bowman's refusal to allow
the Trustees to name precisely the
amount and kind of equipments to
be used. The public had been led
to believe that all these questions were
fully discussed and agreed upon, be-
fore the County Commissioners were
asked to extend the time for construc-
ton, and in fact that the contract
had already been let, only needing q
compliance with the usual forms of
law to give it binding effect. Hence
they were unprepared for the shock
which accompanied the demolition
of their air-castles, and felt a very
natural chagrin that they had been
induced to shout before they were
out of the woods, or, in fact, in sight
of a clearing"
Mr.. Bowman has made his state
ment, which is as follows:

tension of time was procured from the
county commissioners.
