American of slock which the party subscribing to will have the option of taking on paying a call of 5 cent This stock will not he further assessed until tbe roads are completed and not then unless ry after exhausting all tho proceeds of tho land grant and all available resources Thq trustees of the mortgage are three of our most respectable citizens the Hon Greeno C Bronson Mr Shephard Knapp President of the Mechanics Bank and Mr J T ter President of tho Bank of tho Republic These gentlemen possess the confidence of the public and are a sufficient guaranty of the faithful performance of tho trust Tho stock privilege attached to these bonds gives them a speculative value which in view of large premiums obtained for the Illinois Central rights of the same character will doubtless attract attention These rights of which there were seven given with each bond are selling at cent premium The La C rosso road gives ten rights lo tho bonds has the same amount of land to tho mile with

Tribune OFFICE OF THE LACROSSE Co No 8 Vail St Jf Y Dec 15 56 To Gentlemen On the 5th of last I addressed a circular to you slating somewhat at length the past rations and future plans of the company and among other measures exhibited a plan of finance by which proposed to provide the necessary funds for continuing our tions and completing our system of ments As copies of that paper have been sent to every member of the company it is not for mo hero to repeat that plan further than to convey to you an idea of a change or modification which it is lo adopt Since my circular printed and distributed it has attracted considerable attention from some of the soundest ness men among our stockholders and after a full interchange of ideas mature we have decided on a modification of our plan which will arrive at the same re- sult by process more immediately ial to stockholders individually than by tbe one proposed You remember that in my circular I mated the amount of land applicable to tho from Madison lo the St Croix to bo equal to acres worth and that it required to com- plete our roads which would leave an excess of which sum would be ient to pay our existing debt and refund to stockholders a considerable part of the amount paid by them on stock Also that of this required to complete tho road I then proposed to raise by bonds issued on the security of a mortgage which should include the roads from son to St Croix and from Portage City to La Crosse nnd also the land applicable to the construction of those roads and the re- mainder by means of the full paid stock of the company which would be issued to iho present or future stockholders they paying full amount thereof and at a future day bo entitled to stock dividends io tho amount of all lands sold and applied ment of bonds so issued Instead however of making these bonds for the amount of only and ing in stock we propose to issue bonds to the of ed on the aforesaid lines of road and lands and these bonds are to form tho basis upon which the Company intend to means to build and equip their said lines of road These bonds arc of the de- nomination of each and boar date 1st of February 1857 and are redeemable in twenty years from date with half- yearly Coupons annexed at the rate of seven per cent payable in the city of New York The Company reserve right to take up those bonds at any time before their ty op paying to the holder the sum of f 100 and accrued interest therefor being at the rate of 10 per cent premium It stated in the circular that in order to give the strongest guarantee for tbc safe keeping and faithful application of the funds of the Company it would be necessary lect three Trustees whose position and standing would give full assurance to that effect The Company have selected Messrs Greene C Bronson Shepherd Knapp and J T Trustees they have confidence to 5 for such purpose and in believing that thews names furnish all necessary guaranties for the performance of the before-mentioned trusts For tbe but of bonds arc to be issued and disposed which will afford the company the prosecute their work the year The Company now offer to their holders the privilege of subscribing for bonds to the amount which they may rally hold of the capital stock on UM 20th day of December inst the of docing tho books Such may be at any time between tbe of December and the 2d
