the requistion of 60 qualified voters
Inc petition for such meeting was cir
cuiated on the street, several days ago,
ana not the slightest difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting the signature of the
necessary number of voters To avoid ex-
pense to the city, it is the plan to have
this meeting of the voters come at the
time of the regular fall election.
AS lar as the general run of citizens go,
the promoters of the road do not expect
the slightest opposition. In fact, the ma
lority nave expressed themselves rs be-
ing IN favor OF taking part of the stock
According to the charter, a two-thirds
vote OF the citizens must be obtained
FOR TINS reason the promoters anticipate
Il lttie opposition on the part of the
Lockwood Mills
when the same question was brought
up, several years ago, the principal part
OF the opposition originated with the
Lockwood Mill managers. This opposi-
tion grew out of the fact that the corpo-
ration pays nearly one-fifth of the taxes
in the city. According to this, the mills
would pay $1,000 of the $40, 600 used in buy
ing the stock of the railroad Whether or
not this opposition will develop is a ques-
ton in the minds of the managers of the
proposed road. 1t is thought that from
the fact that the Australian ballot is now
in use, no opposition will be experienced
