It was unanimously resolved,—
That a line of railway which shall connect the towns of Penzance,
Helston, Penryn, and Falmouth, by the shortest route, and in the
direction of the present line of traffic between these places, would be
of great local and commercial importance, as tending to afford the
readiest means of transit for the mineral and agricultural produce of
the intermediate localities, and facilitating communication beween
places of so much relative importance, and would aLso greatly benefit
the trade and port of Falmouth.
'That the line of railway, the particulars of which have been laid
'fore this meeting, called the Falmouth, Helston, and Penzancr
Railway, is calculated to effect those objects, that this meeting pledges
