POOLS AND BOURN/SOUTH RaILWAY.—A collider-
, able amount of disappoistment is felt in Poole and the
neighbouring town of Bournemouth at the non-wai-
-1 amusement of *he Poole oat Bournemouth line of rail-
way, for which the necessary points from Parliament
were obtaine Iso long singe 1 lie London and South.
Western Railway are anxious for SO exteasion of time
for making the junetion from Code Hißs to the east end
of the town of Poole, and • bill will be presented to
Parliament for such an extension, but we have every
reason to believe that the London and South-Western
Railway Compel, will find that a strong opposition
is raised against it. At Bournemouth the inhab.tanee
have signed • strong remonetranos against an extension
of time, and in this town memorials are being prepared
against it. It is very evident that both at Bournemouth ,
and at Poole better railway communication in greatly '
needed, and it lo be hoped that the bill for extension
of time noey fail, and that the much wanted lines may he
made before we are *mob older, and before B 'summon th,
where there bite been a large outlay of money with the
expectation of the railways, is much poorer. According
to the Act of Parliament, the London and South.
Western Railway Company are bound to complete the
junction by July, 1870. On Friday the 1140114 mi,
meeting of the shareholders of the London and South•
Western Railway Company was held, when the sub)ect
of the junction railway was considered. After a eon-
Siderahle amount of discussion, it was resolved to apply
to Parliamtnt for powers for extending for three years
the time within whit* the line shall be oompleted.
