 Afer few additional remarks on the mp"rrance "f having depot at that place. dc. the writer proceeds ID speak
 t the route Of the railroad westward d l"m Waterbury. as follows:
 The WO ,dbUry Valley "n the banks nt the P"mperaug Rne,. ex,rmdS noti' md south about eighlern mllrs pa ale! wish he Nau.aiu uck a. a di,ian,e e .9 al'our Ilne mIleS. and is of an average wilth 'h live miles. The x,hl $ f-,l lll.., contains a dense and thriving l,.spitlali"n, ,"nd sI'"uld a rail oad be made fun this Valley l." Watc' buty lhe trayrit ma, kcting of this whole region would toe transferred to the latter place: Shoul! the rail, Oad. after atlai ing ihs height of ground east "f Wo"dbury. extend [" ii"cki>>,iIle on the West branch of the P"mpe,aug. ;El follow he valley of the We, ,l branch [" Davies Hollow in the eastern part of W'shingt.

 SD It seems that the writer thinks the railroad must take the northern route, and pass n~ar " Bantam" even l it does cross the Nauga,uek as IeR down as Waterbury,! Bst what triangulu route from Bristol to Bantam :! 1t would be something like building a railroad from New Yok o Albany ky ssoy cf Rosto" for the .ake of fud'ng place for a depot.
