alive advantages Of the two plans
proposed, we are not prepared to
speak. The report Of the Committee
Of the House'enters into the question.
Great reliance may be placed on the
judgement, experience, and fairness
Of Mr.. Mercer, the Chairman. 1t
will be seen by that report, that
though the cost of constructing the
railway will be greater than the cost
of a McAdamized road, yet that the
greater expense of keeping the latter
IN repair will in the end make it by
far the most economical road-"the
computed cost of the railroad excee-
ding that Of the turnpike, but about
20 per cent; while the annual ex-
pense Of repairing the former falls
short Of a similar charge for the lat
ter more than Sc per cent" Although
we are not prepared to give an !opin-
ion for ourselves, yet we feel warran-
ted in asserting, that the wishes Of
thesgreat body Of the population a.
long the line Of the road are decided
~ unfavorable to a change such as
the one proposed BY the House
Committee. Would it not be we'll
for those interested to represent their
feelings, by memorial or public NEE
ting!
The House Committee also propo-
Sc the following additional amend
ment;
And Be It furthur enacted, That
for the construction of so much OF
the said road as lies within the limits
Of the State of Ohio, in conformity
with the wishes of the General As
sembly thereof, expressed IN theft me-
mortal to Congress Of the fourteenth
of March, one thousand eight hundred
and thirty six, the sum appropri-
ated thereto be paid to the treasurer.
or such other officer Of the said State
as nay be empowered to receive the
same, to be kept apart as a distinct
fund, and applied under the direction
Of the Board Of Public Works Of said
State, or such other agency as the
said General Assembly may provide.
to the construction of the said road ac-
cording to the plan herein provided.
We believe this 0easure will be
ATTENDED with beneficial results.
