And yet yOu Gentlemen hsviuR las you supposed secured

should be prevented from dve9ng with your passengers

complain when Its benefits wsntony and reckless y

that the conditions upon which the State donations have
been made should be strictly fulfilled well In respect 10
the route Of the Road the mode in which the bonds
constituting those donati, have been disposed OF We
shs therefore respectfully but firmly persist Ia our
quest that the Legislature may Inquire into these matters
