now proposed lihe from Wilson'S to

than the whole line from Wilton to Tip.
ton This from the engineers estimates.
We have 81, 900 available subscriptions
at Upton, and 1t is said they have $50.

Now then, # Wilton can be induced to
take hold of this matter and furnish
enough to complete the grading, bridg-
ing and tieing to Wilson's, which they
can easily doif willing, would 1t not be
far better to expeRd our money to buy
iron to put this part ofthe road in opera
ton at once, rather than expeild II In
new lines yet 70 be located. nel@stnE I'D
From estimates Of well informed Rail
road men We learn that the iron can be
obtained at a cost inside Of 5000 per
mile. Upton and Muscatine together
have subscriptions amounting to sos 900.
If SSO, 900 could be realized from this
with the assistance OF, :, Wilton, it would
complete ten miles Of the, road, thus
bringing it within FIVE miles Of Upton.
We have heretofore been operating on
large estimate. We, have been told
that it would cost 500, 900 to finish the
grading and tieing from Wilton to Tip
ton, The undersigned subsidod before
the opinions Of great men, on this ques-
ton; yet, Mr.. Editor, by referring to your
files, you will find in my former COM,
munication, placed it at from 1000
to $50, 600. Now that the engineer has
been over the line we find his estimates
even lower than ours. ..... nil,
With these facts before us it does seem
that with the large subscriptions we
have, and with such assistance as Will
ton can well afford to give Us. We should
be able to put half this line in operation
at once. Then issue our bonds and 60,
to our friends and say, 1--WE have done
our mite, come and help us'-and no
man can doubt the result. "A speedy
ale Of enough of the bonds to complete
he road would follow. By thus putting
! part in operation, arrangements can at
my time be made with the NJ. & NJ. Co. I
o operate it for us until such time as we
ire able to furnish our own equipments.
Fellow citizens: AS one among the
lumbiest Of you, working only for the |
'est interests of all in the premises, we |
ubmit these lines, and present this issue !
0 you, .to-wit: Shall we .expend to fin
sh up a portion of the road at once, ana
how our confidence, exertions and de- I
and trust to the sale or I
onds to complete the whole, or shall we
xpend our means 1leaping up new piles
dirt on new routes yet to be located,
listing to the future to find some big
'mpauy to take hold Of and complete it?
For better understanding we suggest +
public meeting Of the stock subscribers, T
notice of which will be seen in another
lumn. Letall who are interested in T
lis matter attend, and let us counsel to-
,ther, for in multiplicity of counsel
Iere Ia wisdom. s. Ned aElt s1a4a 5"s
