me. BuLlock's IeRopoITsok. E The foilowiog IS the proposition which kF. Bullock sent from Prescott to the boasdofsep ,rvisoys Of Msricopa county iu Eeitrsnce 10 his position on the railroad } question:
 It IS the desire of our company ths, remedial legislation be obtained, changing the route to the Maricopa line 10 more practicable and less ex- pensiye one. Such we have attempted 10 ohssin from the last two territorial leg isla,uies. withou, success. We propose to continue our efforts for the modiscs- tion Of said route before the coming leg islsEure. this winter, and, fl successful we wi.l immediately continue the con- straction oi the road from Prescott to the Maricops county line. and fulfill the terms of the ysvapai county act and obtain sLe rem&indes of the subsidy provided by such act. which we have eafned under the provisions of sad act bv having completsd our road so Prescott before January I, 1881. Having sc- couspiished this, we feel that we are mos- slly emitted 10 any benefits of . subsidy from Maricopa county for the extension of the road to the city oi Phenix We e.sim. and ask no advantages over any sther corporation or individual, but clAimthst <e should ct ieas, have the tights we offered to the people os Mari eops -coanty--to extend our road from Prescott ,o Phenix by the shortest prsc- t.czSle route, no, to exceed torty-five miles in Mariceps county; thus limiting she subsidy 10 one handed and eighty Thou.sn6 E$rSo. o.oso) dollars by building t through one ef the richest and largest sorked and populated mining districts in Yavapai and Msficopa counties-the Bradsha~s.--,hus opening up not only the business of one, but over fifty avsii- able mining camps. proaisiug great commercial advantages 10 the Sat River valley, and coue;pon ding revenue 10 the railroad, thus opening upa 6ires, con- .necsing line of ,rstfc competition to the north by and through the Atlantic & Pacisc and Aschisop, Topeks & Santa ge systems What year v,lley needs most is q relief from the monopolies of freish,s. and fair aud exact compesi- ticn by second uans-centineutal line will give it. We offer It to you because to both your and our interei io do SO, and offer il on the cheapest terms and by tae nest sssiisb.e route.
 ihave been asked for our objections to the pending subsidy bill in congress to which we frankly answer:
 First. The bill is objectionable as iuinicsl to our vested rights ard inter es,s, because the bit contains the name of Joseph Reynolds as sole trustee. and gives him the exclusive nigh, to build :hs road. and. claim the subsidy, and ex- ciudss us or any othss corporation o' individual from competing for the same
 Second. Because the bill does not contain auy definite obligation apor Mf. Joseph Reynolds. trustee or hi' associates to build the road through frem Phenix to Prescott. thus making our road a commenting line with th' Atlantic < Pacific system.
 Tsird. Because the timefo the com p,e.ion of the road is too extended.
 Fourth. Because there is no guaran- tee contained ID the bill requiring Jo- . seph Reynolds, trustee. to complete the read 10 a successful connection with oul road s,Prescot;. Thefaei that the billpro v,dss ths, he shail receive sty thousand tsao. cool dollars ol bonds from Mari- copz county upon the completion o every ten miles of road, leaves It PIaeti- caly optional with hin, when she entire subsi5y is exhausted st the county hn' and the desired sdysptsge to bis minins interest (al the Congress mine. which Il hu. lev miles potth of the Maricop' county hne1 are secured. to arbitrarily stop work, shus leaving the county Nith- cut remedy to recover the subsidy eiver him. and depsiying u, of apy claims fol subsidy and sn opportunity to connec with the city Of eheuix. So deeply sD pressed have we been vtth the force O sbese collections thai we have offered cer tsIn amendments to the bill now pend ins ir congress, to cover the ooleci'cn' refencd ts. which amendments are al fellows:
 FISt-Tha, my name be associated a' aco-uussee with Joseph Reynolds. sae shz, a disinteressd taxpayer and repre- seusstive citizen of MAricopa ard favs psi counties, respectively, also be in serted tu the bill as co.tTustees. h: names of Charles Goldman O Ph.Six, snd e1-msyor Wa.
