cleveland ana IOltuO Railroad
The Sandusky Register states that full force
of men is now engaged upon the cribbing across
the " Cove east of Sandusky City, putting that
portion ofthe Cleveland and Toledo track in the
most thorough repair. A solid line of stone is
put down the entire breadth of the Cove, ,"uE.
on which bed the track is laid, and at the most
exposed point, on the outside of the cribbing,
wall of solid masonry is constructed, which
viii prove impregnable to all possible seas.
The Eyria Democrat, in anticipation that the
portion of the Northern Division west of Sandus-
City will be abandoned, suggests that large
amount of money can be saved each year, by a
change in the route now run on both Divisions
The Democrats plan is this
Let the road between Sandusky city and the
junction with the Southern Division be aban.
doned, and the road be only run between San
dusky city and Elyria CT Cleveland, for the ac-
commodatiOn of through freight, and the local
/ business between the intermediate points Let
/ road be constructed between Elyria and Ober-
lin only about seven miles, and let all the
through business be done on this line. Let the
road be abandoned between Oberlin and Graf
ton and the C. c. d c. Road be leased only from
Berea- The materials of which the portions Of
both Divisions are abandoned are constructed,
could be used in constructing the new line from
Oberlin to Elyria, and for side tracks, repairs,
&c By this arrangement, the line would in
reality be shortened and all of the local business
of the Road would be accommodated, the busi-
ness between 0berlin and Elyria you'd be ad-
ded, which would be large item, and the COM
pany saved the expense of one half Of the line
they now lease of the c. c. 4 c. Road Ifyou
seriously desire to enhance the value of your
stock, Messrs. Directors, and have determined
10 abandon the track between Sandusky city
and the Junction, we feel confident that our
proposition is worthy of consideration
