CHAPTER 866.

AN ACT authorizing the Boyd county court to apply the local tax on Chattaroi Railway Company's road and property in payment of expenditures for right of way to a limited amount.

WHEREAS, The people of Boyd county were deeply interested in having the Chattaroi Railway built through said county; and it was proposed to secure for the railway company the right of way, free of cost; but it was found that this could not be done by voluntary grant of the land-owners; a few refused to give the right of way, and in some instances the owners were infants, and could not. It was then proposed that the railway company should procure the right of way by purchase and condemnation, neither the people nor county court having a right to condemn lands; that for the amount paid for such right of way, including cost of condemnation and interest thereon, the county court of said county should issue bonds, to be paid out of the local tax to which the road and company's property within the county might become liable.

within the county of Boyd, when the same shall become liable to local tax for county purposes, shall be applied to the payment of said amounts and the interest thereon, not, however, exceeding in the aggregate, including interest, the sum of seven thousand dollars.

2. That it shall be the duty of the county court, when the road and company's property becomes liable to the payment of local taxes to have the same set apart and applied as above provided, and no further obligation shall be imposed upon the county than is herein declared. 3.
