assured from perns q The best Information upon The
subject that the esmses Of The business made heretofore
by the Commissioners are entirely too low
A 70 the Necessary Of the works heir conviction is
strong They sincerely believe hat every oher
dependence IS entirely fsaeous, TO secure s-h eonrnu-
nicaton with Albany he importance Of The route de-
nands and the warts Of the city npersvely require.

Could this enterprise have permitted TO be brought

Of ia features here IS 10 doubt bat The subscription would

would be great calamity the city Let not the ia port

Commissioners that fresh pork conveyed tardy 10 New

But from former experience let not the community rely
on he Harlem Company for road TO Albany. The sub
Joined extract from public document shows the danger OF
such reliance The Eastern traffic Is lie only natural sort
Of business for hat road.
