meeting of the citizens living along and near
the line surveyed by the Marietta Company
| for a railroad between Cincinnati and Love-
land, that passes through the town Of Madi-

work of acknowledged Importance to many
interests--necessary TO the city as pass-way
for vast and varied commerce-necessary

business-necessary TO the large proprietary
interest Immediately beyond the tunnel, em.
bracing many hundred acres of beautiful
table land, as means of cheap, frequent and
rapid transit-he remarked that either D.
