JOHN A. CONANT, Pres',.
+ A f0f bA"A' see't'1r's'.
THE RAILROAD MEETING on Friday
evening was opened by remarks from the
President, John A Conan,. He had Jus.
returned from Boston, and gave q sketch
Of incidents BY the way. H., with others
from this side the mountain, reached Fitch
burgh in time 10 meet Messrs FELTON, and
others who had just taken rapid tour
over this route and par, of,he other. A
meeting of the Fi,chburg Railroad Board
was convened. The friends of this route
had a hearing before that Board, but
found the Committee tina, protessedly took
this tour for an impartial " examination
OF the tuo routes, had virtuslly decided in
favor of the Central before leaving Boss
toni! He found that while the friends Of
the Western route had slept, the friends Of
the other had exer;ed a powerful influence
against US; but was confiltn, that that in.
huence had become somewhat weakened
by the exhibition OF statistical facts before
the capitalists in that region, and more es'
pecialIy in Boston. So much encourage
ment as this. was given !; Abbott Law
renee and other men OF wealth, said to the
friends of this side. 60 ahead, show by
your subscriptions to stock, thol you desire
road, and are tciU help you build it
10 you hear tha'2 friends Of this road.)
Mr. Conant gave it as his opinion tina,
quite an improvement, nigh; be made in
the survey of the Western route, and tha,
another would soon be made, or changes
for The better. After showing from re-
ported computations of expenses, the dis
crepances in the estimates OF severaI items.
MIR Conant closed his remarks.
Remarks were made by several other
members Of the association, evincing n de-.
termination on the part Of the people here,
to do their share towards the completion Of
the work.
From the best information obtained no
doubt exists in my mind that this road
will have the preference, and that con-
tracts will sooa be made to commence OPP
erations. Wake up then, those who have
tho ability 10 do, from Burlington to Brat
tleboro, and the Railroad is secured.
