We. the undersigned, citizens and tax pay |
As the city and county OF Leayen worth have
given no aid Ia the Kansas Central Railway !
Company, except the stock in the Kansas Pa
cific Railway Company, and because the
Kansas Central Rsilwsy Company, both in
the past and prospective benefits, is one Of the =
best railroads, II not the best. for the interests
OF the city and county, and as said stock WAS
2 wen by the vote of the people OF the county | l
to aid in the construction of the Kansas Cen.
trail Railroad. il would be but fair and Just
that the county Withdraw its opposition TO | ,
the transfer OF this stock, and permit IL To be
in accordance with the original /
purpoSa of giving it in aid of the construction !
OF the Narrow 0auge Railroad. :
Westnerefore Ioquest the County Board TO | r
withdraw from any further opposition To the :
transfer Of this stock. and take such action as +
will enable the company TO have the stock :
and thereby save the county from
further eXpens. in an effort to defeat the legal
and just claim Of This com Dsny to this stock.
