were not agreed as to an immediate letting
of the work. Some advised that course,
trusting to future resources; while others
approved of building as far as the money
subscribed would pay while others did
not deem it polite to involve the enterprise
until it's success were clear and sure. II
was finally agreed to submit the matter to
. vote of the Stockholders, in the several
townships and boroughs, tomorrow, from
to3, P NJ. We are not sufficiently
"posted up" in. Railroading to take sides
on this issue. We want the Road but a
work of its magnitude at this time needs a
very decided expression in its favor before
being undertaken. The Road should be
built-soMETIME-so
[Just as our paper was ready for the
press, We received from Center county an
artcle-writ.en for the Bellefonte papers,
but received BY them too latc-most of

Read this before you Vote!
To the Stockholders of the Lewisburg, Center
& Spruce Greek Embellishments:
You are we'll aware, that, on the c2d inst,
you are called upon to cast your votes, either
in favor of or against the early commencement mt
Of this Road. Before you take this action, l
wish to present few stubborn facts,in regard
TO other Roads their commencementprogress
and completion for it is said, and urged by
great many stockholders along the line, that
we have not enough stock subscribed,to under
take and ensure the completion Of this enter
prise and that we must have some aid from
capitalists, either in New York or elsewhere.
Were we TO wait until this is accomplished,
we should never, at least in this generation,
have a Road. l ask you TO point me out one
single instance of a Railroad, OF any impor-
tance. waliing until capital enough had been
secured 10 build their whole Road No, there
is not one they all began work, when they
had one fourth, (and some not that much,) of
their capital secured.

struction of several Roads, for which we have
not time or room.]
Now let US look to what we have actually
subscribed, and then Judge whether We can or
can not 60 on Immediately with the heaviest
sections of this work. There are now bona
fde subscriptions to the amount of S2s0Ooo.
Of which S2s, 900 have been paid either in cash
or notes. The estimate to grade the road
ready for track, from Lewisburg to $50 miles
east Of Boalsburg (as per Engineers estimate,
page I9) is S269,6s or S5ll7 per mile and
from this point TO Pinegrove, $36,457 or 49,
7l9 per mile. The total will be from Lewis

per cent. of this (Which is assumed will be
done) as taken in stock by Contractors, will
leave S275,5 to be paid in cash then add
$4,000 for water stations. &C., will make only
s525 more than you have Observation-Disclosures
small sum-.
But, says one, the estimate is too low; the
work can not be done for this amount. Do
youlthink, for one moment the Engineer is
willing to risk his reputation as such, in ma
king an estimate like that! A man who has
been employed for years and years. on our
State improvements, and other principal rail-
roads throughout the country, and is now do
ing work at and below these prices. What

trust and confidence, in our worthy President
and Board of Directors. They would not risk
