~1n our estimate of amounts
by which the yearly revenues Of
the citizens of Our town would be
increased by the branch rail road,
We nnintentionaIly omitted the
names of the bakers and the
names of the owners of the ThibO
danx Saw Mill Co. The bakers
would be benefited by fully $1,000
and the Saw Mill Co. by fully
$1,000.
The Saw Mill Company instead
of paying dividends ought to use
its surplus capital in adding a
planning mill. and a blind, door
and sash factory to the saw mill.
Terrebonne, Assumption, and
the upper portion of LatOnrcbe,
including the town of Thibodaux,
would get all needed dressed
lumber, tonguei and grooved'
stuff, and door, blind and sash
work at the ThibOdaux Saw Mill.

who has just put up narrOW
guage road on a ridge says the gra
ding cost him over $1,000 per

paid fully $1,000 per mile to grade
on ridge, and over $1,000 per
mile to grade through a swamp.

OUR FREIGHTS

~The town Of ThibOdaux is
asked to pay $1,000. i'll five an
nual installments of $1,000. each,
to secure a railroad of same guage
us Morgan'S main road, with To-
comotl e, passenger cars and
freight train, to connect the town
with Terrebonne Station. The
town OWLS about Que fourth of
the stock in the ThibodauX
Bridge Company-and the an
nuaI dividends derived from that
source alone, without the necrs-
sity of any taxation, would be
more than sufficient to pay the
$1,000. every year and the town
corporation would by the effect
OF the branch railroad increase
its revenues so as to more than
compensate for the outlay Here
are the figures:
The outlay would be per annnm $1,000 0(
The increase OF the town reven-
ues would be as follows:
10. That part of the branch K. R.
with Depot, switches &c. which
would be located in the town would
be assessed say 5000. The usual
one per cent tax on this assessed
valuation would be $50
,. The revenues of the Bridge
would be Increased $1,000. per
year. Parties are now proposing
to bid that much on the lease of
tue bridge if the branch road is
made. This increase in the rev
epues of tie bridge would come
