kaloosa would run eight miles north of q
part Of the present survey, and pass through
fno and fourishing part Of Muscatine
county.
Should Washington be made point in
said road? That place is about FIVE miles
south of q stright line, consequently the
road will be increased in length by going
there.
1t is reported that the citizens of WASH
ingtou have refused to take stock in our
road. We shall know the truth of this on
the return of che Agent, 81. A. Parvin, Esq, }
who will soon be here. Should it be true,
there is no reason why the road should not run
as near q straight line as the nature of the
ground will admit from here to OskAloosa,
which will take it through Muscatine county
about IL miller, instead of seven or eight
miles, as now contemplated. .r.t ).
Another reason why it should 70 on
straight line, there is settlements on Eng
lish River, in the north part of Washington
County, which is one ofthe best settlements
in that county and it is probable that tho
Inhabitants Of that part of said county,
would, if called on, take stock in the road
if it should run on straight line, which
would benefit them much more than to have
the road run to the town of Washington.
These things should have their due weight
with the C,mrany in locating their road !;
and the citizens Of this city should represent
these facts, in their true light, to the agents
of the Company before they commence loca-
ting the road. PRo Bono PusLlco.
