money to build and stock the railroad within ten years,

$50 OOO the road could be built and the Govern
ment would save $50 GOO 600 by il in ten years after

else the Pacific Railroad would tend to make New

employed and the capital idle. He asked that no
effort should be left untried energy untaxed, until
the road was accomplished.
The thanks of the Society were presented by the
President to Mr. Greeley, with the wish that when he
next might travel that way should be with the speed
and comfort of a railroad.
