substantial encouragement from, the business
men of the city. The capital stock of the
proposed company is to be $500, divided
into 750 shares, each of par value of $40.
The shares are made snail 80 that men Of
small means may become stockholders, for 1t
is the purpose to make the enterprise popu-
lar one aud TO enlist the interest and support

at an oppor,une time aud there is no reason
why the investment should not prove very
profitable ooe to every man who takes one or
more shares. But should the company not
pay dollar in dividends for several years it
would still he to the interest Of the people of
the commucity to take stock, inasmuch as
the amount of money they would save every

would be handsome dividend on their in-

Whereas the members of Mechanics aud

Resolved, That it is the sense Of this club
that such action is entirely unwarranted and
unjust. and they do call upon their executive
committeeman aud the members representing
their club 10 the Reform Faction to work
against such action, and we hope all reform
clubs in the county viii take slr'iAr steps.
