6 “be more equitable—the towns of Grass RAE ET PORES AM: wos SeNiaeS Shen aaly, Banger . FRIDAY, MAY. 5, -1871. es f A Suggestion for the Railroad. The Sacramento Union, speaking of the project for a railroad from Nevada and Grass Valley to Marysville, suggests the following plan: “Suppose the covaty of Nevada—or what would Valley and Nevada, and the county of Yuba with the city of Marysville, take all-the stock in the road ; issue their bonds to raise the cash to build it; together own and control it; fix the rates of transportation by a joiut railroad commission, and sq operate it that fares and freight will always be kept down to the lowest figures possible. Eight hundred thousand dollars in 7 per cent, gold bonds would probably realize $700,000 cash. The interest on these would be $64,000 per year ; or $32,000 for each county, If the rates of fare and freight were put down to two or threw cents per ton per mile, the effect would be to double the popula tion and quadruple the business of both counties ina short time, and to quadruple the value of all taxable property within ten miles on each side of the road. The interest on the bonds 4 © would Le more than made up by the increased tax collections ; the counties would own the road, and nobody would be hart, whilst everybody wou d. be benefited.” We believe the benefits, suggested by the Union, to business and property would surely follow the _building of @ railroad, and the plan: would avoid the granting of subsidies. There would be no voting of money to private-individuals, but the road would be the property of the public just as our county reads now are, But -we do not think the course necessary to secure the road. Citizens of the counties, we believe, would willingly raise $100,000, or may be, twice that amount, taking a proportionate shate in the stock with the county, and thea, if it be thought advisable,the towns interested might secure a controlling interest by the plan suggested by the Union, and the control of the road would by in the Lands ot the—public, all subscribers reaping equal benefits. We do not believe a dozem men can be found in Nevada county who would consent that the county should issue bonds to a corporation and guar. antee the interest upon these bonds ; or that a singledollar of the public myneys should go into the hands of any corporation. If county or city aid is secured to a railroad it must be a public enterprise, and aid will be given only upon such terms as will protect the county against tlie abuses so common amoung railroad managers, when they have the power given them to control. ¥ Two sets of love letters,says the Alia, are going the rounds of our exchanges. One tells the story of the infatuation that preceded:the Fair-Crittenden mur. der ; the other was elicited in a breach of promise case in Pittsburg.
