The Question Of the ST. Louis railroad
was put to rest for the present. by the city
Council Oh Monday evening, referring the
subject back to the committee on roads
and canals. with instructions 10 inquire
able engineer and assistants can be en-
ploycd, to ascertain by proper surveys
and examinations the practicabi!iiy OF OBJ
tanning a route for railroad from the city
Of Cincinnati. TO the town Of Lawrence
burrh. Indiana. &c" The resolution
contemplatcs three different routes all
aiming at, or near Lawrencebur9h. but at
different distances from the river. the es-
timated expense OF obtaining the right OF
way. and construction on each Of the
routes to be made and reported TO the
council, before any further action is had
on the subject. This question Of recon-

such close proximity 10 the Beltountaine
and indianapolis road. which was talked
about as being almost made. that it would
be absurd for the State 10 grant such
charter Now. il strikes me that such a
charter is already granted. and that the
prospects of that road are quite as fair as
the other VIII YOU please give Us some
light on the subject! II Will most likely
I DC some months. before this matter gets
back again into our city Council and il IS
