Dear Sir
In reply TO yours of the 10th. we
note the North d South Carolina
Railroad Co. claims the town of
rillon owes them $4,000. but 4
large majority OF the citizens of
the town OF Dillon don't think SO.
They refer TO n special bill intro
duced at the last session Of the
general assembly. This bill was
written by the railroad company ;
that we don't think that il should
have been passed by the general
assembly, us there was such a bill
passed at the 1910 session and an
election held on the bond issue
which was defeated 81 to "a and
it will be defeated by larger ma
Jority if it is ever submitted to the
citizens again. We do not think
the question of n depot, as 1t is
necessary for them to have a depot
and we hope your commission will
take the position that they have
nothing whatever to do with the
between the railroad
and the town OF Dillon. as
to the $4,000 for right of way.
Moreover We have nothing TO fear
and feel confident that We can con-
'lnCe your commission that we do
not owe the railroad company this
and we ask that YOU ap-
pcint day and give us hearing
i'll Dillon as early as possible. We
have talked TO DR.. j. II David. one
OF the men he refers to. and he is
heartily in favor Of "a Union depot.
Yours very truly,
