becauso we encouraged the project CT
building Railroad to Upton, and ad-
vised our citizens to hold on for 1.-TWO
wears" before making beginning. We
were sorry to see this, not because it did
not agree with us, but because We look
upon it as in opposition to our true in
terests. We had supposed that our neigh
Dor would, with Us, DO all that he could
honorably, to build up our town; but in
this we are sadly disappointed. He
takes one course and we another, which
is for the interests Of our town and eoun-
ty, We leave for our citizens TO decide.
| We propose in as few words as posi-
bic. to notice the grounds Of the Dem
ocrats opposition, and as it has "hitherto
said but little about our projected Rail
roads, We suppose they are the sum-
ming up of oil the reasons, to be found,
why We should not commence a road.
1t asks the question 'can we raise sui
fcieut amount of money to warrant the
commencement OF a road?' and very sat
sfac.or,ly to itself at least, gives its rea-
sons for answering it in the negative.

than they can pay for two years to come
without running in debt any deeper
which must be pail.
Now l. this so we think not. W.
believe one favorable year, with god
crops and fair prices, will enable the citi
zens Of this town and county, to pay al
, their debts, and have money left in thei

This estimate is certainly high enough.
The grading we think cannot cost as
much as $4,000 per mile. Ties are put
at so cents each. The iron is reckoned
at So lbs to the ward. while 45 lbs would
answer, thus saving 81 600 per mile.
We certainly can do the grading and tie
ing, and good share Of the engineering
and pc curing the right Of way, in and
Of ourselves. amounting to about s25,-
900, then, if necessary, we can issue
$4,000 or $50, 900 Of town bonds, and
certainly with road graded and tied
aud money enough to equip, or nearly SO,
We can obtain the iron.
