The Company was organized in Mareli, 1872 to run # road from Mendota through Rochelle and Rockford to the Wisconsin Stato line. In June, 187, the Company agreed to horrow §400,000, giviog os sccurity m first mortgage for $2530,000 on tho line completed batween Rocholio and Rockford, a distance of twenty-four miles, and on the uncompleted Jne for the remainder of the distance. and o recured mortgage for $150,000 on the same line, 1In July, 1875, the road was leased to the Chicago & Jowa Itatiroad Conipany, tho Jatter agreelng tw pay the Rockford Ioad 25 per cent of the ocarninga on it.
