BUILD IT WITH STooK.-One las only to

ence. There Is no reason today why the
capital required to build the F. T. u N.
railroad should not be secured by stock SUBJ
scription; if 1t will pay the interest on bonds
and provide for their redemption, II will pay
handsome dividend on the stock. A man
of large means has said to US that he would
take no stock, or very little, If the road is
to he mo,tgaged to bondholders, but that lift
were built and equipped with money secured
wholly from Stock, he would invest in it,
At $4,000 a mile to build aud equiv the
road from Frederick to Emmitsburg, % miles
would require $s3O,0OO. Now raise $4,000
stock and bond it at 8 per cent. for $3.50, 900;
allow the bonds to run for 20 years and you
will need lay by 5000 year In sinking
fund; to this sum add $7,500 annual interest
and you have $12.5Oo; this IS about 81 per
cent. on $330,OO0. People with money TO
invest are falling over each other today in
their haste to secure permanent Investments
at thrce-quarters of ST per cent.
We suggest therefore to the Executive
Committee that they secure an expert in
such matters to 60 over the proposed route;
make the most careful estimate of the posi-
BILE revenue; have an equally careful estimate
made of the cost of building, cquipping and
operating and If as low rate as four per
cent. on tue total cost is shown, with safe
margin upon which conservative business
men will BE- willing to promise stockholders
that rate per cent ~, then start out to raise
the entire capital by stock subscription.
Ot course 1t would be a glorious thing for
$4,000 worth of stock, after 20 years, to own
a plant that paid 4 perc ent. on $a3OOOO, but
with $l5O0O0 worth of bonds absorbing the
revenue for 90 years, it makes 1t very much
more difficult task to secure the $4,000.
With 4 per cent. guaranteed, We are sure
that $3.50 900 worth of stock can be raised
more readily than can the $50, 900 under the
Board Plan; and, here's the rub, if 1t should
not pay more than per cent. On $2SO, 900, (lf

Tic splendid business which the Frederick
& Mildctown Electric Railroad is doing
this summer both in passenger and freight
traffic, aud the work on the extension from
Middlelown to Myersvllle, brings to mind
the very fertile opportunity in this vicinity
that is being overlooked by capitalists. This
opportunity is the building of an electric
railroad from Brunswick up through the
fertile Middletown Valley. This route would
undoubtedly be one of the greatest traffic
drawers in the country, nor would the invest
ment have to be so large, us route could be
found traversing the prnt ipal trade points IN
the valley, over which an electric road ought
to he built at very moderate cost. Persons
quained with the building and operating
electric roads and with the productive terri
tory up this valley have expressed the opin-
ion that such road would be- q profitable
investment.
Ofcourse, 1t is hardly expected that such a
road could be built by local capital, but our
local people could present the matter to
foreign capital in such an attractive manner
that they would readily see that it would be
profitable scheme. The benefit would not
only be TO those who put their money in the
road, but it would result In increased busi-
ness in the town and greater convenience for
the people along the line up the valley This
is project we'll worth considering by the
progressive men of our town.-Brunssoick
Herald.
There is no reason why the people In the
southern section of Valley should
not have an electric road from Brunswick to
Middletown via. Petersville, Burkitisyille
and Broad Run, to connect with the Freder-
ick-Middletown Electric Road. That such
road will pay there is hardly any doubt,
and the people in the southern section of the
valley can build it if they will unite in one
grand effort. Let them construct the road
as did our Myersvllle friends, who raised all
the money they could and then bonded the
road for the balance. The Frederick. lid
dltown Road was built in the same way.
Not dollar of foreign capital was used IN
either road and the long wished for road from
Brunswick to Middlctown can easily be
built in the same manner. All that Is needed
is number of good, live, hustllng men to
take hold OF the enterprise and it will be q
success Hauey Register.
