Whereas, the town of Woodstock in its
corporate capacity has contributed large
ly towards the construction of the Wood
stock Railroad by subscribing to its capt.
tai stock, and in further aid Of said Road
has guaranteed the payment ofinterest on
large amount of its Bonds with the as
Surance Of its Directors that all earnings
over the payment Of running expenses
should be applied towards the payment of
such interest; and, qcheredS the Road has
been In operation nearly two and half
years, and as shown by the reports of it's
officers large sums have been earned and
received in excess Of its running expenses
which have not been paid as was provid-
ed In the resolution authorizing said guar
antee. Therefore, RESOLVED, that the Sc
lectmen Of said Town be directed to take
such measures as may be necessary to COL
lect from the Woodstock Rail Road that
portion of its earnings which belong to
said Town under the resolution guaran-
teelnS the interest on the Bonds of said
Rail Road.
Whereas, the town of Woodstock in her
corporate capacity has furnished more
than two-thirds of the means towards the
construction Of the Woodstock Rail Road
and, achereaS said Town has been denied
her rights in the management of said road;
and, acheredS, the Directors of the Wood
stock Rail Road appear more anxious to
enhance the value of their Guaranteed
Bonds than to deal equitably with the i'm
poyerished taxpayers of Woodstock;
and, ahereds, the town Of Woodstock, by
every principle of equity and justice, is
entitled to representative in proportion
to her money invested and her rights in
Cured. Therefore, ReSolu2d, that the
taxpayers of Woodstock seek redress
from these fragrant abuses by nominating
and electing next September a Represen-
tative to the Legislature who shall pro-
cure legislation tor the relief Of our bur-
dened community.
RESOLVED, that the Selectmen be author
lied to take up the outstanding Bonds of
the Town and replace them with 5 per ct.
Bonds, if they should think it for the in
terest of the Town SO to do.
There being no other business be-
fore the meeting, voted TO adm.
