Carolina, Knoxville, and Western Railroad Circular, 1890 October

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 1
From the Collection:

This circular provides "facts and figures showing why the voters of Knox County should vote for the subscription of $100,000 at the election, Saturday, October 29." Specifically, it lists the assessed valuation for each district in Knox County and compares the needed tax to the potential gains in markets and other value. The circular is signed in type by R.A. Sterling, W.P. Chamberlain, J.W. Fletcher, Martin Condon, and Alex. Reeder, Executive Committee. Someone has added a note saying that one area of assessed value was omitted, and has worked some math problems both in ink and in pencil.
