RAILROAD MEETING.
The railroad meeting, at Opera hall, this
evening, will be largely attended by the lead
ing business men of the city. Every prop
erty holder in the city should consider it his
bounden duty to be present and fully express
himself as to his real sentiments in the mat
ter.
1t ia we'll to remember that ours is already
one OF the most heavily taxed cities in the
State. If we conclude to aid thie old, yet
ever new project of building q railroad to
raylors Fall, it will be at the cost of adj
d,tiOnal taxation to the freeholders. The
question arises + n the parties interested,
will it pay?' evil it be any advantage to
us' The manufacturers of our city, almost
to . man, are in favor of extending the road
to the Falls. This is good argument in
favor of the object sought
They must SEQ in it an additional increase
IN their business, which will certainly neces-
state the employ ment of more men, thereby
increasing the population. We believe that
healthy increase in population pro duces a
corresponding advance in the value of real
estate.
Those who are pushing this movement
should be urged to state clearly the advant-
ages which they with good reason, believe
will accrue. The question of advantage or
disadvantage is the vital one, first, last and
all the time in municipal affairs. calling for
appropriations or producing bonded indebt-
edness. That fact settled, aud il 1t is favor
ed of the project, the minor question of To-
cation of the line through our city can be
settled
If extended the road will be
permanent institution, and should be located
without any question on the lake front.
Again We reiterate, all property owners
should be here tonight. Remember, that
if the matter goes before the people, q large
majority vote will be given in favor of the
road. If any are opposed to the project,
tonight, at Opera hall, is the time and place
to present their views for the best effect.
We hope to see the business on hand thor
oughiy discussed pro and con.
