We farther claim that large por-
ton Of the people Of Windsor County,
We believe a majority in business and
wealth al im1,t certainly Of those who
would produce and put upon the road
large majority Of the freight, prefer
oar road. Ia these most important
particulars. densltyof population. wealth
III real and personal estate, and value
OF average annual product, the Connec-
ucut aud Lake Champlaln route pos
Sc>scs the most clear and decided a1
vantage. These are the sources from
winch the local traffic OF a road is dc.
rived, and local traffic is the mother OF
lat dividends.
To the fifth reason because it opens
in addition, largo and popu!ous dis
trict ofcoaniry, abouudins in minerals,
agriculture, aH3 industrial resources
We respectfully ask, in addition to
whatl llthc answer be To what our
road would open TO, we deny II, aud
call upon the friends of the Central
road 10 point out what country prop
criy described as populous and abound
ing in minerals, is opened by the Cen
trnl, which is not equally well opened
by the Lake Champaign road All
north and west Of Burlington, on Lake
Chsmplaln, is at least as well accom-
moda,c1 by the Lake Champaign
rs by the Central road. Montreal is
is rs well accommodated PlattSburg
and OgdcnsburJ are rs well accommo-
dated Northern New York and Can
ada are as well accommodated the
business Of the Getaway ann the ST.
Lawrence and Of Lake Ontario is as
well accommodated and if IT IS any
for al the vast accumulation
ot freight and passengers that will be
gathered II the common point, Bur
lugton. to have Il transit of one hun
drcd and sixteen miles, instead of one
hundred and forty four miles, to an
other common point, Bellows Falls,
then this immense extent Of country IS
Just so much better accommodated.
To the sixth reason that the local
business on the Central route is sulIi
cicnt To insure thc success of the uu
dcriaking we reply, that the local hu-
sncss Oh this route would be twice
and we verify believe four times as
much rs upon that.
10 the seventh reason assigned, we
answer, that II Is as easy to continue
one road to Montreal rs the other
