Nh. G. S. McFalden deserves credit for
stirring up the right OF way subscription
$4,000 in Marshall. The county now
seems livened up on the subject. The fol-
lowing appeal appears in the Herald to the
people of the county.
The following are some O! the many
reasons that should settle the question OF
taking the proposed $1,000 stock in the
Wheeling Parkersburg 4 Charleston rail.
road:
First-lt will traverse n section OF this
county destitute OF railroad facilities, and
will increase the value OF the taxable prop.
erty along its line.
Sccond-The annual incrcaseincomc to this
county, in the item Of taxes, will approx.
mate one thousand dollars, after deducting
interest on said stock at the rate OF six pei
cent, estimating the valuation for taxation
at five thousand dollars per mile, one
half OF the valuation OF the B. & o. Rail
road Company's property. Three years
taxes on the valuation OF the W, P. & C
Railroad Company will pay the capita
stock Marshall county is solicited to sub
scribe, and ut the end Of ten years, wher
the full amount OF stock shall have been
paid, there will be net profit OF sever
thousand dollars to the county, in addition
to the dividends to be derived from tl,t
earnings OF the road. The taxable property
OF Marshall county, ". Va, rs taken from
the records, are rs follows: E.
Real Estate-Three millions nine hun
dred and ninety-eight dollars. 'l
Personal property-Nine hundred ant
'hir,y.seven thousand and eighty dollars.
| 3. & 0. R. r. Property-Three hundred
and seventy-three thousand and seven hun
dred aud fourteen dollars and eighty cents
From the above it is shown that the
property OF the B. & 0. X. r. Company
pays one.iourteenth, or seven cents or
every dollar, OF taxes derived to Marshal
county for State, county, school and road
purposes.
Wear now offered in consideration o
a capital stock OF only $1,000, payable il
ten years, in the W., P. 4 G. r. r., TIT
benefits accruins from an increase OF taxa
bic property amounting to two hundred
thousand dollars, for State, county, schoo
and road purposes. &g'nGL
Many other arguments can be adducet
but the above are deemed sufficient for any
candid thinking man.
