CARMEL AND LAKE MAHoPAc-NEw RAILROAD En-
TERPRIsEs.-The good people Of Putnam County are
Just waking up TO the importance Of Railroad commu-
nication with the great metropolis and have begun in
earnest TO move In the matter. few evenings since
large and very spirited meeting was held at Red
Mills and another meeting is to DO held Carmel on
Tuesday evening" Oath inst TO take for the
immediate construction of railroad from Carmel to
Peek. kill via Lake Mahopac and Red Mills distance
of about IL miles At the meeting held at Red Mills,
it was ated that the Hudson River Railroad Compa-
nv would subscribe for two thirds Of the stock-and
that French Manufacturing Company, who have re-
Gently purchased waterpower privileges in the vici-
OI ~,
and with fall of $50 feet within very short distance,
with the intention of erecting some extensive factory
buidingswould also subscribe very literally toward
the construction of the proposed railroads 81 that in
fact the entire amount Of capital required for the enter
prise could have been obtained on the spot, but the
residents of the neghborhood farmers and other prop
ery owners, prefer own the road and keep the en-
tire control Of it themselves.
It s believed that at the close of the meeting to be
held at Carmel every dollars worth of stock vii be
subscribed for by residents of Carmel Lake Mahopac,
Red Mills and adjacent places on the line of the pro-
posed road. One cogent reason why the Putnam
County people desire TO shut the Hudson River Rail-
road Company out of the concern is, that they view
with deep Interest the project for another railroad from
New-York through Westchester County, continue
ton of the Eghth.avenue Railroad, by central and
easy route to Croton DAM which, it Ia argued could
be sdvautageousy extended in northerly direction 80
as to connect with the proposed Carmel and Peeks-
kill Railroad in the neighborhood Of Jefferson Valley,
about midway between the Harlem and Hudson River
Railroads With these view they deem It Of the high
est importance keep the control Of the Carmel and
PeekskD Railroad in their own hands, that the two
new roads may be worked conformity to the best ad-
vantage by those locally interested.
The spacious and elegant building situated on the
eastern bank Of the Lake at Carmel, and known as the
Raymond Institute is to be converted into permanent
hotel for Summer boarders. Tire Of the lnsti
tute building among the most active in securing
the construction of the Carmel and PeekskiIl road.
During the past Winter great improvements have
been made at Lake Mahopac, in order to provide for
the constantly increasing numbers of visitors who
spend the Summer there Not many years ago, Mr..
Monk opened two-story cottage as hotel, which
was resorted to by parties out for ride from Peeks-
kill and other places. Through the advertisements Of
Mr.. Monk il attracted the attention of a few New
Workers. Since then the visitors have gradually in
creased until at the present time, there are no less
than nine establishments in operation which bear about
the same proportions to tho original Monk House as
the steamship Great Eastern does to ordinaryszed
row-boat. Telegraphc communication with the city
was established last season. and within the past month
a newspaper express from Peekskil started 80 that
visitors w the Lake ~ furlrhei with The Tribune
and ether NewYork journals by o'clock in the morn
ing quite as early they served to city subscrlb'
ers. The Lake and its surroundings never looked
more enchanting than at the present time; yet there
are many Workers who do not know that there is
such delightful resort almost at their doors.
