Dr. P. E. Wilkin,
Chairman Board of Trade.
Colquitt, Ga.
Dear Sir:
Referring to our conversation
regarling tins building of a rail
road in to your city, which would
give competitive service;
I have given this proposition
consideration for some time and
have my arrangements, so that I
can give such service, provided:
your citizens would be willing to
take a small amount of the bonds
of the road and donate a right of
way and station sight.
The bonds would not exceed
Three 'Thousand ($3000) Dollars
per mile of track, would be a first
tier, upon the entire property,bear
interest at 7 per cent, per annum,-
and be redeemable in 21, 30 and
36 months.
My people would expect to re
ceive no money cn the bonds, un
til the road is in operation.
There would be no donation ex
pected from your citizens, except
the right of way and depot sight.
If you think such a proposition
would be interesting to your citi
zens, I would meet th in at such
time as you would suggest and go
fully into the details with them.
Yours truly,
W. C. SNODGRASS.
