Talking upon the SUBJECTS very desirable
as thereby intelligence is communicated
AMI received, Lu, something more is rc,
quircd TO build rail road than talk, even
when ii is prohlobe talk. Money will be
found absolutely necessary, and good deal
of it loo and i, must be had or the road can.
no, be built, We must first do whu, we
can and then we may confidently ask for
help from nbroad II we do no, show tina,
We feel deeply concerned for our own inter.

1t may be replied tina, the counties Of Win.

have an aggregate grand lis, Of S34l,T3..
Al, representing property Of the value Of

which the route passes have an aggregate
list OF 1920, 600,o2, representing property
Of the value Of Sl2 O60 002 l, might be
safely assumed that these TWEEN, y one towns
could loan ID the construction Of the road

Or leaving oui tho aggregate property o.
the counties and coming nearer 10 the
