Friday evening last. Notwithstanding the severity
Of the storm on that evening, tie attendance
was quite large, and the deepest interest in the pro-
iected road was meniiestei by all present.
! Ia the absence Of the President of the proposed
road L. ]. Porer esq, his brother, MD. +. Porter
of tie Michigan Southern Railroad, presided on she
occasion. The report of Mr.. ]. Schuyler, engineer
was read 10 the meeting. From the report it appear
that although il il contemplated eventually to have
an lndeprndent road from Broo kyn to Rocksway, II
proposed for the present only 10 build section oil II
from ROckaway Beach 70 a point near amaica, where
il will connect with the Long Island and the Brooklyn
Central aud Jamaica Railroads, thereby aiiorGug
passengers equal facilities for reaching Rcokaway
! by way Of South Brooklyn ard Hunters Point. On
tie proposed route no indications Of rock formation
were Discovered, and the ground, for the greater
portion Of tue distance, being Of GllIylal, sanGy
formation, and no high embankments or deep ox-
cavations will be required, and only one bridge 81
feet wide Will have to be built, the expense OF con-
strucing the road il estimated az low figure, viz.
$4,000 including complete equipment OF the road
with locomotives, passenger and freight cars, &c,
and according to the number Of passen myers annual
conveyed 70 and from Rockaway by stages, i, is be-
lieyed that ten yer cent would be realized upon the
investment. Inc ltnRNl ol lic Iohu ltOh hNNhh-
way to i,s junction with the Long leland Railroad
would be about Ten miles
DR.. Autaok, an influential resident of Rocksway
or vicinity, addressed the meeting at length
and set forth IN glowing terms The advantage which
must result from the construction of the roposed
road He had the greatest confidence that the road
would prove profitable investment in the shape Of
dividends, but, even should the stockholders not
receive cent in dividends thoir investment, tie
additional value which it would give to their prop
eny would pay them good interest on their sub
scripiious. DR.. 4. closed liz remarks by observing
q at a very large number of those present had taken
the medicine he had prescribed for them with benc-
fetal effects ard be now desired they should follow
bis advice in taking liberal doscs OF the Brooklyn
and kockaway Railroad stock.

duals forward and gave the night Of Way FOR the
rail DAD through tleir landr and subscribed to the
uock OF the company. Tie meeting then adjourned
