Quincy Rail Road subscription debate fuels civic pride
A July 1853 editorial argues the city must decide whether to loan credit for the Quincy Railroad. It asserts subscriptions will not tax residents, guarantee interest payments, and pledge city support only via loan, urging a near unanimous approval to complete contracts and build the road. An antiquated tale about Flintskinner illustrates printers' pay and civic duty.
