New Corporation Formed.

The people of Cincinnati soon realized
that If the road was to be paying in
stitution It must be managed by practical
railroad men, and on October g. 1881, a COR
poration known as the Cincinnati, New Or
leans and Texas Pacific Railroad Company
was chartered for the purpose of operat-
ing the new line. To this concern the
Cincinnati Southern was leased for pc
riod of twenty-five years, and the lease will
expire in 1906, unless renewed, which
is regarded as certain to be the case.
March 1S, 1898. however, the Cincinnati,
New Orleans and Texas Pacific Railroad
Company went into the hands of a receiver,
where it remained until September 80,
1893. Soon after the latter date it was
found that the Southern and the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton Railway Com
panieS had jointly acquired a controlling
interest in the capital stock of the Cincin-
natl Southern. The fact that the city of
Cincinnati is still a heavy Stockholder in
the Cincinnati Southern makes it import
ant that there shall be at all times amic
able relations between all parties in inter-
est, and Mr. Spencer, for his own road,
has, as already stated in The Star, made a
an increased rental under a new lease af-
ter the expiration of the present one.
The Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
road which, as shown, is on the most
friendly terms with the Southern, was or
iginaNy chartered to run from Cincinnati
to Dayton, but 1t has extended it's lines in
various directions until it now has a total
mileage of 6516. The authorized capital
stock amounts to s16.o00,00o, of which S.
OOoDO is in per cent cumulative
bonds and $S,00O.0O0 common stock Mr..
j. P. Morgan has for years past been the
fiscal agent of the company.
The Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville
Railway Company, or "Monon Route" as
it is popularity known, operates 537 miles of
track, and it's total liabilities when the
last report was made were $30374, jO4. %.
This line is also in close relations with
the Southern, and over 1t the Southern
tickets its passengers and sends it's freight
from Southern points to Chicago, and
thence to northwestern points. ]. P. Nor

Cardinal Gibbons,


A water main tax was levied August 10,
1895, for a water main laid in Brightwood
avenue between Military road and Aspen
street. All the abutting property on Bright
wood avenue was assessed. The owners
of such property, objecting to the assess
ment on the grounds that the main was a
trunk main and not for their benefit, Pc
titioned Congress to instruct the Commits
sioners to cancel such assessment.
By the act of June 2, 1900, Congress pro-
Vided that the Commissioners of the Dis
trict be authorized and directed to cancel
the assessment of water main taxes un-
paid on Brightwood avenue for the laying
of the water main about July 20, 1895, from
Fort Reno reservoir to and on Brightwood
avenue from the Military road to Aspen
street, where water has not been introduced
from the main on adjoining property since
it was laid; and they were also authorized
and directed to reassess the tax for laying
the main on Brightwood avenue according
to existing law.
By authority of this act the assessments
made as above mentioned, except those
against property for which the main had
been tapped prior to the passage Of the
act, were Cancelled and reassessed accord
ing to existing law the act of July 8,
1898, which provided, among other things:
THAT any levy, assessment or reassess-
ment on land not subdivided into blocks
and lots shall be made on a frontage not
exceeding 100 feet for each lot or parcel
of land or premises into which Potomac
water has been or shall be introduced, and

tended to depth of not exceeding 100 feet
