Gov. Dennison made short ex-
PLANTATION Of the Importance Of she
extension Of the Hooking Valley rail-
road The company looks forward !
to the extension with great deal Of |
interest, aud they aud the citizens of
Columbus will give tho enterprise
ihcir hearty cooperation.
NJ. NJ, Green stated that tho cost of
the survey for the extension would be
about $500, assuming tho distance
to Toledo to be 100 miles.
Mr. 7. j, King of Toledo, remark
ed We must look at this as com.
mercial enterprise, We must con
vince tho Hooking Valley Railgoad |
that il is to its interest TO have this
extension made. There is no reason
why the bonds ofthe proposed route
should not be worth l00 cents or even
more. When we open the coal folds
of the Hooking valley aud the lumber
forests Of Michigan to Central Ohio,
We shall have accomplished that which
will make tho enterprise complete
financial success, We have no doubt
Of the road being selfsnstaining to
Toledo, and we wish 10 convince the
Hooking Valley Railroad Of this
fact
On motion, the Convention ad-
journod, tla
Such was the meeting,--sueh
its proceedings at Columbus, 1t
will be observed that committees
have been appointed to pro-
cure the survey Of four proposed
routes, aud it is reported, and no
doubt truly, that one Of these commit
tees adjourned to meet at Toledo on
the 10th inst. Delegates we're pres
ent from every county through which
the road was expected to pass, and
yet not single delegate appeared
from TiiIin- Now Why this apathy
this cold indifFsrenee9 Why is Tiihn
silent on the subj Sotf Is it because
her rcitizens do not want tho road or
is il because road from the coal beds
Of the South to the Immense piueries
Of the North, through BsioriG, will
be sufficiently near for the quiet, cou.
venience and comfort Of our county
seat1 The difference 10 distance on
the several contemplated routes, ia
Guiding another through Titin, is not
