The time u fast approaching, when
work can Be commenced upon this road,
and IL il time that some action should
be had in relation thaFeso.
All that is keeping The Company back
from commencing at once, is the lack Of
assurance from those entrusted wish the
building o. the Platte Country Road,
that they will have thsiF part Of the road
from 81. Joseph, to the State Linz com
pleted IN tims 10 eOnnsct with US at that
point.
Ii is evident 10 all, that s road run
ming South q distance of foEty-ssyen
milss without any Southern OF Eastern
connection, will b. Of little use, and the
money expended in It's connection al
moss dead loss, while If shs road sho'd
connect With = Southern road having a.
EeastsFn connections i w0nld be one Of
the beat paying roads in TIE West.
All that orr people want to nerve them
