Notwithstanding the many difficulties
they have had to contend with. We are
extremely anxious to push forward the

Otoe county were also anxious to have
the road finished as soon as possible, we,
in order to comply with the general
desire on the part of all parties inter
ested, had made arrangements by which
we could complete the road and run the
cars twenty-five miles from the levee on
the first day of May, 1869. With this
contemplated finishing of twenty-five
miles of road, we asked the county COM
missioners to deliver to us the balance
of Otoe county bonds, voted by the peo-
pie to aid in building a railroad through
the county. 1t was necessary to have
the bonds and negotiate them for cash
before they could be used as aid in
building the road, and the county COM

from the company the following bond :

in a reasonable time, the right of way
for said railway company from the
levee, OF the Missouri river in Nebraska
City, through the said Nebraska City to
the west side of Wilson creek along the
South Table creek and Fox creek route,
and procure and give to said railroad
company three contiguous blocks of lots
on the line of said railroad company,
east of Sixth street in Nebraska City,

company, and also shall pay to said

by Nebraska City to said company, the
sum of one thousand dollars for the
damage which the said company may
sustain by reason of the RECESSION of con
tracts on said company's present line of
road and for the survey of the South
Table creek route, and also shall have
twenty-five thousand dollars of the
OtOe county railroad bonds cashed for
said company, as follows: Twenty five
per cent of said cashed bonds to be paid
the first day of July next twenty-fi five
per cent to be paid on the first day of
August next twenty-five per cent to be
paid on the first day of September next,
and twenty-five per cent to be paid on
the first day of October next. then this

shall be and remain in full force and
effect.
And this further condition is made,
to wit: That whenever the said TWEEN

railroad bonds shall have been sold and
paid to the company, then ten thousand

The above bond has not been complied
with, except that part which refers to

special election to authorize the city to

purchase the right of way and depot
grounds and give the same to the Mid

I hereby certify the above to be a true
and faithful copy of the bond given by
the Midland Pacific Railway Company,
on the seventeenth day of August, A. D.
1868, and recorded on pages 343 and 344
of records of proceedings of County

The arrangements for completing
twenty-five miles of said road on the
first day of May next depended upon the
citizens fulfilling their bond to cash
$25 900 of Otoe county bonds, and the
cashing of the balance by the Missouri
Bond and Stock Board of St. Louis, at
ninety cents ON the dollar, according to
an agreement made with them. The
failure of this latter arrangement, which
would have enabled us to complete the
road to the Brick Post Office, is charge
able to a letter written to St. Louis by a
prominent citizen of Nebraska City,
whose open hostility to the road at home
did but little injury, but whose letter,
among strangers, declaring that the
people r%epudiated the bonds and would
refuse to pay them, did much, as is
shown by the following letter:
OFFICE OF THE MISSOURI BOND AND
STOCK BOARD OF ST. LOUIS,
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 30, 1868.
J. B. BENNETT, ESQ.,:
Having learned that there will be
objections raised to the payment of the
Otoe county railroad bonds, we cannot
allow the sale through this Board and
unless this question is settled, you might
as well send my receipt and get them.
Very respectfully,
E. M. SAMUELs, Treasurer.
