proposition. We then offered to sell
at valuation, said value to be fixed nv
three competent road engineers or
builders, mutually agreed upon and
whatever price they placed upon the
roads, we would take if the County
would give. This proposition was
also turned down without giving us
reason for so doing. And this pro.
position we considered fair one for
it also gives the County a voice in
making the price.
They then asked us to make them
prices at so much per mile. We then
proposed to sell at $1250.OO per mile.
Now we consider this q very fair pro.
position, because it is less than half
of what 1t will cost County to build
and far below their real value. This
they turned down also, and without
giving us any reason for so doing.
Now we wish the people to bear
in mind that the County was seeking
to buy from us, and had induced US
TO make all the propositions. We
then declined to make any further
propositions, and demanded some
offers from the County. The County
then offered US 100000 per mile,
which we very promptly turned down,
and gave as our reasons for turning
1t down, that 1t was far below the
cost Of building and very far below
their actual value.
We wish the people to understand
also, that the County has never given
US any reason whatever for rejecting
our many propositions. Now there
is no proposition of any kind pending,
and the next move is up to the Coun.
ty to make. We have made them five
propositions and they have made US
one. Now 1t is up to the County to
make the next move, and if we re.
ject any of their propositions, we will
give them q reason for so doing.
II the County Is really in earnest
and wished to buy our roads, and II
the County wants to give somethiDs
like their real value, then there is no
reason why we should not get togeth'
er. We expect, and the County
should expect this property to change
hands at something like the real
value of the property, and if that
spirit should actuate the members Of
the County Court, we should get to-
gether very soon. We sincerely hope
that any further efforts made by
few members of the County Court
to brow-beat us, and discredit us,
will not be further tolerated by the
Court.
We are willing to meet the Court
and deal with them as business men
should deal, and any effort to coerse
us will keep us fhrther apart. We
are open for further propositions.
Very respectfully,
