4 large and enthusiastic meeting Of the

shown TO be all wrong. ~ was shown
by those who made speeches that even
if the railroad did not pay cent taxes 10
the county tho property-hOlders could
not be assessed more than nine cents on
the 800.
II is believed by those who are IA
miiiar with the proposed enterprise that
this possible tax will be reduced TO II
or 4 cents on the 500 as soon as the rail-
road is put into operation.

county treasury, the taxes on the bonds
issued TO the county will be very small.
and # the railroad pays. which it is be-
leved that II will 90. the taxes will be
almost nothing. Those who have given a
good deal of thought TO the subject are
Of opinion that the railroad Will soon
prove a paying investment and will pay
annual dividends II was decided that
speakers be sent out 20 various places in
the county and address meetings OF citi-
zens on the subject OF the proposed rail-
road. explaining the enterprise and the
matter OF taxation in connection with it,
