SAINT PAUL TO MENDOZA.
Extension Of the Minnesota
Valley Railroad to this
City.
A FINE CARRIAGE ROAD TO RE
BUILT FROM THE FOOT
OF THE BRIDGE TO
MENDOZA.

Our readers will remember that at meeting
of the City Council few days ago, commit.
tee was appointed to confer with the Minnesota
Central and Minnesota Valley Railroad Direct.
ors, in reference to the extension of one or an.
other of those Roads to this city; which com.
mittee, after conference with the Railroad Di.
rectors, reported that if special stock to the
amount of $50, 900 could be subscribed by the
citizens, the Minnesota Valley Railroad would
agree to extend their Road to this city, or
rather to point opposite the city, at the foot
of the Bridge.
We have now the pleasure of announcing
on undoubted authority, that the special stock
of $50, 1000 needed, has been subscribed by our
citizens, and this ensures the building of the
road from st. Paul to Mendoza. It is to be
commenced ia short time, and be prepared
ready for the iron by the opening of navigation
in the spring.
As onr citizens are aware, no attempt will
be made now to complete the bridge between
here and Mendoza this season, nor could il be
done for the sum above named, after construct.
ing the road from Mendoza to West St. Paul
The grading Of the road, however, will be pro.
crossed with during the winter.
From the end of the railroad bridge on the
other side of the river to the proposed terminus
of the railroad at the foot of the Saint Paul
bridge-a distance of about two miles-the
road bed will be only temporary, but of suffi-
GENTLY durable character to answer the pur-
pose. The ties and iron used on this section
of the road are to be taken up and rehid on
this side the river, to the foot of Chestnut
street, when the bridge is completed.
1t is probable, therefore, if nothing unfore.
seen occurs, that the cars will be running from
West St. Paul to Mendoza by next spring.
q Until that time, however, our most direct
connection with the two roads at Mendoza will
be by boat during the season of navigation,
and by stage during the winter. To facilitate
winter travel to Mendoza, the City Council a
few days since appropriated $3.50 to repair the
old carriage road from the foot of the bridge
to Mendoza. The Minnesota Central and Min
nesota Valley Railroads have each voted 5000,
10 be expended on the same road. The whole
sum has been placed in the hands of Messrs.
Burbank & Co., who win at once put the road
in splendid condition, themselves furnishing
the additional amount necessary.
Burbank & 20. are having two splendid ON
nibusses built expressly to ply between here
and Mendoza. They will each hold fourteen
persons, and will be comfortable and pleasant
conveyances. During the sleighing season
they can be placed on runners, making the trip
from here to Mendoza in few minutes.
