TOLEDO AND CoLuMnus RAILROAD
Yesterday afternoon such corpora
tors of the Toledo and Columbus II
Road as were in the city, assembled
pursuant TO notice, at tho Office of j
II. Osborn aud subsequently pNoern
cd to tho Council Room. Al the lat.
tor place the meeting was organized
by selecting Mr.. Osborn TO preside,
and appointing Maurice A, Scott Sec.
retary.
An opportunity was then given
gentlemen to represent the various
routes which had been named, and
present such raCts as might have q
direct bearing upon the location oI
tho road,
Hon. W. p. Noble, of Tidin, sug
gestcd threo routes--1st, from this
city TO Fremont thence to Tiflin aud
Crestline, where, intersccting the G.
@. e. @, Rond uso that Company's
track into Columbus, 2d, same route
to Tillin, thence TO Nevada, in Wyan
dotte county, thence to Mafion, and
Delaware, 10 Columbus; 3D., direct
lino from Toledo TO Fostoria, thcnci
to Ti0in aud Nevada, and from the
latterplaoo via Marion aud Delaware.
Mr. Noble stated that by adopting the
Rrst named route the Company would
be compelled to build only about ff--
ty miles of traek--usng tho q, & 4.
track to Fremont, thirty miles, and
tho q. q. Il q, truck from Crostlinc
to Columbus, distance of sixty three
miles. Tho construction Of road
upon the second limo named, would
nccessitatc the laying of track from
ThIin to Columbus, but no thought to
offset this expense the rich country
through which it would pass would
fully reoompense for tho outlay, Mr..
Mobiles preference, however, in case
the money could be raised, was for
the straight route from this city to
Fostoria or Tinin, Nevada, Mayou
aud Delaware, and ho expressed the
belief that the country through which
the road would pass, via this route,
was not only able but willing to build
its proportion Of the road.
l., A, Hall, Esq, also of Tifi'n, en-
dorsod the views presented by Mr.
Noble, aud argued at longih the ad.
vantagos of the TifIin route,
Henry Brown, Esq, represented
Findlay, Hancock Co., and favored,
as he termed it, a direct Southern
route viaahot place, lle based his
preference upon the dirootness of,the
route, the low grade aud consequent
oh apness of construction, and in
sisted that the local traffic along the
Southern line would be quito us large
as that or any limo mentioned, :, aud
tho people were very anxious TO aid
in the construction of tho road. a.9
Mr. RQam, of Johustown, Hardi,
County, recommended the leasing o
the Dayton & Michigan track frou
this city to Ottaws, Putnam County
and thence on nearly an air line L
Columbus Mr.. II. was quite enthu
siasric in his advocacy OF the rout
named by him.
