also in the future
Mr.. Leazar made a very strong speech
IN support of this Amendment. He sad
that under color of laws ae RAILWAYS were

/ taxes or even to make any returns. Thus

| $50, 600 600 of this sort OF propertv Yet
| If there were a riot at Goldsborp and the
Wilmington IL Weldon Railway tracks
were beng torn up, that road would cal!
upon the Governor for the aid of the mill
