country the resources and ths agricultural and
other advantages especially of this section thro'
whichthc commissioners of Internal improvement
have located tho route of the Southern Railroad.
and viewing the Importance Of said road. not on.
ly to the people of Michigan, but to the inhabit-
ants of, and omigrants to the country west of us,
we do believe that better location could not have
been made
We ara aware that on a subject SO deeply af.
fecting the interests of SO large a community,
conflicting feelings have, and will DO manifested
as different interests arc affected but would
hope that an object Of such vital importance to
the public, would not on that account be aban.
doned; but on the contrary, that tho work would
bo speedily commenced and prosecuted with VIZ
gor, and zeal becoming the enterprise of our
young state.
For that purpos, wo would respectfully pray
ofyour Honorable boiy that an appropriation Of
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars may be made
for tho construction Of said Road ON the route
as at present located.
