| RAILROAD CoNvENTIoN.-The Convention
called for the purpose of devising the most
feasible route for the building of railroad
from Toledo to Columbus, with theview of
connecting with the Columbus 6 Hooking
Valley road, met at the parlor of the Neil
House on yesterday, Thursday morn
ing, and adjourned to the Office of the Co.
lumbus s. Hooking Valley Company. i.,o9 %
The meeting was organized by calling
General j. s. Robinson, of Kentou, Hardin
county, TO the Chair, and electing f. r.
Miller, of Wood county, Secretary. go
After the object of the meeting was ex-
planned bv the Chairman, NJ. NJ. Greene.
Vice President of the c. 6 H. V. r. r. Co..
was called out and stated, that in the start
ing of their enterprise few gentlemen in
connection with himself assumed the cost
of ascertaining by an actual survey the cost
Of their proposed line, and then went be-
fore their people with an estimate of the
cost of their road, such as encouraged their
people to subscribe literally; and before
their company was organized subscription
of over $S00,000 was made up principally
| in this city and on the line of their road. He
further stated, that in his Judgment the pro-
posed road from Toledo to Columbus should
have its control and management at Toledo
and that Toledo should be to the proposed
road what Columbus was to their road.
p He further stated that their Road had
been let to a responsible company at a
cost of about $4,000 to the mile. with a
grade of twenty-six feet to the mile and a
! favorable curviture and that their Road
would be completed in eighteen months
| from the first of the present month If they
were not detained in securing the right of
way, and that it was the policy of their
Company to keep its organization inde-
pendent of other companies. The meeting
desired the Columbus and Hooking Valley
Company to take the control and manage
ment of the proposed road and have their
surveys made under the direction of Mr..
Greene, which he declined, as in his judg-
ment not best for the interest of the enter
prise. thinking it best that it should come
under the direction. and management of
Toledo, and that his entire time was alb
sorbed in the direction of the affairs OF
their Company, although he would cheer
fully render them all the assistance that he
could. .-,s.-s.g.
Gov. Dennison made short explanation
of the Importance of the proposed road in
connection with the Columbus & Hooking
Valley, and that the citizens OF Columbus
would look with interest to the enterprise
In answer to the inquiry of the probable
cost of survey, together with the profles
and estimate OF the same. Mr.. Greene stated
that in his Judgment it ought to be done at
cost of not over 81 500, assuming the dis
tance to Toledo to be 120 miles.
Mr.. King, of Toledo, stated that we must
look at this as commercial enterprise: we
must sconYince the Hooking Valley Rail-
road Company that it is to their interest to
have this extension made. There is no
reason why the stock and bonds of the pro-
posed road should not be worth 100 cents
on the dollar, or even more. When we can
open the coal fields of the Hooking Valley
and the lumber forests of Michigan to Cen
tral Ohio. we shall have accomplished that
which will make the enterprise complete
financial success. We have no doubt of the
road being self-sustaining from Columbus
to Toledo. and we wish to convince the
Hooking Valley of this fact.
The meeting adjourned to meet at Tole-
do on the 10th of July next, desiring that
the city of Columbus and the Columbus
and Hooking Valley road should be repre-
sented at that meeting.
