IfolMUgtmr. OFFICII M* li Qatar Stnet. FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1873. THE ELECTION TO-MORROW. To-morrow the citizen* of Wheeling are to rote upon the qneatlon of lncnrring certain liability ot 1000,000, and a poealblo liability of $1,200,000, for the con tnictlon of a railroad bridge and the Wheeling 4 Lake Erie Railroad. The praent indebtedness of the cily li upward of <000,000. The mesaed value oi me luxuDie properly 01 me city is upward of $13,000,000. It will be wen, therefore, that thii addition to the city indebtedness will make the debt approximate very cloaely to ten per cent oi ita taxable property. The question to bo decided, therefore, la a very grave one, and ahould bo very carefully considered. Bo far ai we are concerned, the only question lor consideration is whether the guaranteea offered for the completion of the proposed works are sufficient to Justify no heavy an expenditure. In our Judgment they are not. As to (be bridge, not a dollar of the stock baa been aubscribed, and the company is not organized. There is no pledge or promise of any additional slock trom any other source. v Mr. Wulsok's promiso was that be would advise or recommend to tho \V.& L. E. R. R. Co. to take (400,000 of the bridge stock, but expressly stated that he was not authorixed to pledge the company to do bo. The First Branch of tho City Council expressly decided by a majority of more than two to one, that they would not require any subscription from other sources aa a condition precedent to the subscription by the city. It is agreed on all hands that the bridge will cost not less than 11,000,000, besides the right of way fBrtho , approach to it on both sides of the river. , The only hope of securing any additional stock beyond the city subscription is that the \V. 4 L.E. R. R. Co. will take the additional (400,000 as suggested by Mr. Willson. If this is done it Is with the expectation that the Railroad"* Company will take the contract for building the bridgeHavitig.|400,000 out of the $700,000 that will be thus subscribed, tho Railroad Company will have the control of tho organization, and will, of course, elect their own board of directors. Whatever may be said about this as to the vote of the contractors in electing directors in the Railroad Company, there can be no queation about it aa to the bridge company. The directors will have the control of the location of the bridge, the kind of bridge that is to be built, the price to be paid for building, and the acceptance of the work when it is completed. Whether it Is prudent for the voters ot the city to invest $300,000 upon such guarantees us these, is for them to determine. But it is said that all these matters may bo salcly entrusted to the City Council. And it will bo observed that the written pledge of tho members of tho City Council that they will require certain guarantees before they will subscribe to the stock of the railroad company does not apply to tho bridge company. The only expression we have from the City Council is the voto in tho First Branch refusing to require any subscription of stock before making tho city subscription. Our own experience anil observation of the action ol municipal bodies, is, that when power is given to them to make subscriptions, tho parties interested never fail to get them upon some terms. And the experience of tho city has not been such as to give tho most unbounded confident in such bodies. So far therefore, as the bridgo is con cerned, wo have no hesitation in saying that with the total want of all guarantees and assurances as to the expenditure ot the money, a vote for the subscription would be to the last degree imprudent in J unwarranted. As to the railroad subscription, it stands upon a different looting. The conduct c' the parties who hare the aflair in charge has not been such as to inspiro the most implicit confidence in tho enterprise. In the first place the men controlling the movement in tho city are not the manufacturers, merchants and business men of th? city who would be mainly interested In Us construction. Hot a. dollar of Individual stock has been subscribed in the city, unless Mr. Bell may hire token a share to make him eligible as a director, and whether he is any longer a resident ol the city, may be a matter of controversy. And if there is a man In tho city who pays $100 ol taxes for State, county and city purposes, who intends to vote for the subscription we don't know it On the contnira thn nartlna ?hn firn rnntrnll. lug the movement, seem to have been anxious to defeat the purposes and objects ot the business men and capitalists or the city. They were ready to subscribe $100,000 ot individual stock to the capital stock of the Wheeling A Tuscarawas Va!loyU.R. Co,, lithe City Council would have put that Company on footing that would have given it any prospect of success. But the parties who Me controlling this road relused to give the people permission to voto a subscription to the capital stock of that road. The lesions for preferring that road were so palpable that intelligent business men could not fall to see them. It approached the center of the city by tho ravine of Wheeling creek, at right angles with the river, and is the only practicable approach to the city for a railroad from the northwest. It wa? only fitty miles long and could he built upon a paid up capital stock of $1,000,000, with such loans as this stock would enable it to command. 01 this, $100,000 could have been raised by Individual subscriptions In tho city, maaaaa 1 ?u? VWW|VW ujr a v*?.j bujowijiuuu, $2UU,UUU on th? line of the road la Ohio, and $400,000 by capitalists interested in tho L. 8. 4 T. V. Railroad. This would have (Wen to the stock In this city and in Ohio on the line of the road the control of the company. The connections which it had secured, made It for *11 porpoie* except lor the contolldallon of atook, a part of the Lake Shore road, the foke Shore & Tnsoarawu Valley and the Npw York Central, with the benefit of all. their connections from New York to Toledo, Chicago aid Ban Frandaco. Bat tho people have not been permitted to vote upon this road. But Instead of this they are aaked to take |800,000 ol atock In a road some 220 miles long, with a capital stock of some 18,000,000, already under contract, It li said, at |85,000 per mile. The location is still open trom the river to Lake Erie. The atock la to consist of $10,000 per mile, to be subscribed on the line of the road and tho cltica at Its termini, and $10,000 to be subscribed by the contractor In addition to this $18,000 permlle U to be obtained by way or loan, we objected the otherday that at the contractor! held one-halt Its stock and would therefore control tho organization, and consequently its location and construction and everything connccted with it. In reply to this It Is said that tho private stockholders can vote on their full share ol stock on the payment ol an installment, and that contractors can only vote on bo much as they have paid up. And in support of this we are referred to tho Ohio law. It would have been much more to tho purpose if they had published their contract. We suppose nobody ever doubted that where a man subscribed (or a share of stock in a corporation, that he could voto on his stock il he paid the installments as called for. But why con not the contractors vote on their stock on tho payment of installments as well as the other stockholders? When they have subscribed their $10,040 to the mile and done one month's work, our installment will be paid and they can give as many votes as they have sub" scribed for shares. As well as we can gather Irom the extracts from the contract that have been published, we understand the certificates of stock are to be made out and delivered to a trustee, to be delivered in full payment of the amount of shares. They are to be delivered to all stockholders alike, the contractors as well as others. Then why may not the contractors vote on their stock subscriptions without their certitlcates as well as other stockholders ? Tho impression Bought to be made is, that the contractors do not subscribe for their stock at all, but simply becomo stockholders by receiving paid up certificates as the work progresses. But this is wholly inconsistent with the whole theory o( the contract. The amount of the capital stock is fixed by their charter. In all their estimates of the amount or stock subscribed they estimate the stock owned by the contractors as constituting one-half. Besides, any such principle would be unjust. It is the dictate of natural justice that each share holder in a joint stock enterprise should have an influence and control proportionate to the amount of capital he has invested in it. According to the theory of Mr. Bell and our correspondent "IIthis is not to be tlio rule ut all. Suppose an election for directors should bo held when an instalment of ten per cent and no more has been called for and paid, the stockholder who owns one share and has-paid $10 has one vote. The contractor who has paid $100 has only one vote. Does anybody believe for a moment that the contractors would consent to have their voting power and control curtailed in this way? They certainly ought not,and we suppose they are men who have intelligence enough to understand their rights, and courage enough to maintain them. There is another difficulty about this contract. It is claimed that large subscriptions will be made by towns and cities in Ohio under a recent law of that State. The law ol Ohio docs not authorize any such thing. It authorizes a county or township to eorutruet a railroad through such county or township, and if authorized by a vote, to levy a tax for that purpose. But it must be let by contract to the lowest bidder. Hence these contractors cannot build that part of tho road under their contract. The W. & L. E. R. R. Co. may lease or buy such roads after they are built, but they cannot bo covered by their present contract. It will be observed that amongst tho things the written pledge or the members of tho city Council requires them to do before they will subscribe this stock, there is a total omission of any point at which the road sb&ii leave the river. This will therelore be entirely at tho discretion of tbo directors, who will bo elected by the contractors. If we do tho company any injustice iu making this assumption, wo havo only to say that it might havo been avoided bv oubllshinu their contract, instead of keeping it sccrct, or allowing an opportunity tor a perusal and hasty reading o( it by a few persons. Wo should regret exceedingly il anything we may say or do should prevent the construction ol a railroad from this city to the Northwest through the State of Ohio. But wo do not believe tho defeat of this proposition will have this result. When the first vote was taken on the subscription of $130,000 to the capital of the P., W. <& K. R. R. Co,, it was rejected because the people were.'not satisfied that the money would be properly expended. They wero not willing to trust the whole matter to the Board of Supervisors. But when the contract with the P. R. R. CO' was so modified as to guard against the loss of the money, they very promptly vninJ *nnr r\nn tir.'-.li?'.?i - - vwu >? o auumu iucrciore, mai the peoplo would set wisely in voting down this proposition, and glvo an opportunity for putting tho enterprise on a more satisfactory footing, and submitting it at the August election, or at some other proper linie. We learn from the Belmont Chronicle that two thousand;acrea ot land have been leased in Belmont bounty near the Noble county line, and a lead and silver mining company organized to develop the territory. Wheeling capitalists are the originators of the enterprise. A. D. Rice, formerly <)t Martin's Perry, Ohio, died suddenly?on Saturday last at Bioux City, Iowa, of hemorrhage of the lungs.
