flu for a long time. Now, 1t seems
to me that the citizens of Tiifin, and
Of Seneca county, ought to be ready
at the word TO accede to this propo-
sition, aud come up at once to its re-
quircments. IL seems TO me as tho
every man must see in this project,
the interest of the city and county,
and that every man ought therefore
unite in complying with the PROPOSE
ton. | have already said that the line

to success aud profit, is a good line

Is valuable. We have got that. In
addition TO that, We have already the
right of way from this place to Fort
Wayne, and to the Eastern conuec-
tioUs; but We are now talking of this
route to Fort Wayne. | stated the
other evening, and repeat il here
that, from my own personal kuowl-
edge in getting the right Of way, in
my humble Judgment it is, Of itself,
worth 100000 TO day and in that
opinion was then confirmed by the
Engineer Of the road, only he said
that was entirely too low with the
estimate. AS you are probably all
aware the grading is nearly all
done. from Tilliu to Fort Wayne, with
the exception of, perhaps, eight OF
nine miles, and that is through q
very level portion of the route. The
cost at this day of doing that amount
of work, would not be less than 5000,
600, ns am credbly informed. Then
with this amount of labor done, as n
foundation upon which TO build, il
seems TO me that this project ought
not TO be left as il now stands, a mere
blank without benefit to anybody;-I
Let US complete the road from here
to the crossing Of the Fremont and
Indiana road, and then We will have II
live institution and the cars will be
already running and when the poo
pie of the East as well as the West,
shall see that the institution Is live
one, that something is intended to be
done, they will begin to seek connee-
tions, and the day will conc, and that
speedily, when we will have ollthe as.
sistancc We desire, TO complete the
route, not only Fast as far as Cleve-
land, but connec. with the Atlantic
& Groat Western Railway TO Chicago.
Then il scems to me that noe or Rer-
en-, the people cf Tiflin and Seneca
county can have railroad running
East and West through the town aud
county, | speak not for the town
alone. 1t is as much the interest of
every man in the county as it is to
every man in the town. A groat ma
ny in town have already subscribed
for bonds TO the amount which they
are able to pay, but u great many have
not subscribed, and i ask them TO
consider it now, and speedily, in or
der that it may be decidodnow whoth-
er wo will make an effort to complete
this work. expect that you all de-
sire to hear from Mr.. Smith, more
than from myself. l have stated
these prcliminaries morely with q
