this road. and lha, 25 miles from Cleveland
10 Grafton, is 10 be put under contract I'M
nediately. and be completed early next
season. The immense business on tho road
already requires additional facilities, and
The great increase anticipated from the con-
necions with the Norwalk and Toledo, and
The Bellefontane and Indianapolis Roads,
renders second track indispensable.
