CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, SESSION 1844.
Extract from the Projet de Loi, presented by M. S. Dumon,
Minister of Public Works :

" The railway Nom Paris to Lyons is, of all lines, to establish one
of those to which the country attaches most importance ; to unite
the ocean and the North Sea to the Mediterranean, Paris, the capital
of the kingdom, with Lyons, which is its second" town, and with
Marseilles, the first of its seaports ; in fine, to connect the north and
south of France. Such are the principal results to be realised by
the railway from Paris to Lyons ; at the same time, by a branch from
Dijon to Mulhouse, this railway will connect Marseilles with Stras-
bourg, the Mediterranean with the Rhine, and will thus se^ure to
France the continuance of the commercial transit which Austria and

Italy seek to take from her."
Extract of the Report of the Commission (MM. de Lamartine, Ducos,
Serme, Meynard, De La Tourneile, Le Viscomti Decazes, Schut-
zember, Vejux Lebobe) charged with the examination of the
" Projet de Loi :"

" The great railway going from Pr..rie in opposite directions
joining the ocean and the Mediterranean, Havre, Boulogne, Calais,
Dnnkirk, the frontier of the north, and the great port of Mar-
seilles, uniting Paris and Lyons, our two great centres of popula-
tion and strength, of activity and industry, has always fixed the
attention of the Government, the Legislature, and the country at
large, and should command prompt execution. Already a line is
established from the English Channel, by Havre and Rouen, to
Paris, and the Groat Northern Line is being pursued with vigour.
At the other extremity Avignon will soon be united to Marseilles,
and it is high time that the central part of this great line through the
heart of the kingdom, through the midst of its rich population and its
principal towns, should be executed."
