A few years ago the New York ard New Haven
Railroad Co. laid down second track of their road
from New Maven to New Rochelle, aud would then
have completed the work to their junction with the
Harlem Rsilroad, about mile nor:h OF Williams
Bridge, hsd rot movement then been m sde IN favor
Of building new road between New Rochelle and
Harlem Bridge passing through Pelham, near the
Bridge, and the Villages OF Westchsster and West
FaTns) and for which charter was obtained ami sar
veys made. Season afe season, however, passed
away without any thing beirg done beyond little oc
cssisDsl talk 90 the subject
The New.Haven Railroad Company perceving that
there prospect OF the required or even en- ap
proxmate amount of stock being taken, and the nia
cal affairs Of the Company not warrAntlng an outlay
fer that object however profitable 1t mgat prove re-
solved 10 complete their double track to w lilians
Bridge, by the old route, as soon as prachca0e. In
the meantime petition was presented 70 the Legs
ture OF this STATE at its last Session, askns for the
passage OF an Act compelling the New'llaven Rai-
road Company to proceed with the extension OF Their
double track forthwith as being indispensable to the
safety and convenience of those paronizng the road
The Leg stature however, we believe, never took any
action in the matter. The Company subsequent
E authorized person TO treat WIN OWL
ers Of land lying along the sne OF the roao
for the tight of way for the additional track,
but according to the information obtained 1t
seems that the Of the property upon which 1T
woud be Necessary to encroach, expect sueh an ex'
orbtapt compensation for the strip of land required
from FIVE eleven feet wide, as to almost preclude
the idea Of the company negotiating Tor its purchase
and has been broadly ntimated that some OF the
individuals who were so very Jealous last Winter IN
urging the Legislature to compel the New Haven
Railroad Company to build the proposed additional
track avowe6y for the better protection OF the lives
OF those travelling the road mostly recognized
the parties who are now demanding thousands
Of dollars for land not worth as many hundreds.
1t is said that some of those who exact exorbitan
for the land required dc the plea that their
property has been damaged by the railroad; while, on
