He also submitted the freight tariff.
then recently furnished him by the Troy
X Boston Company.
The meeting by vote unanimously APP
proved of the course pursued by the com
mittee in declining compliance with
the request of the President of the Troy
X Boston Company, to repudiate the
of said newspaper article.
Mr.. Park addressed this meeting at
length upon the history and situation OF
affairs Of connection; though he regarded
the connection of passenger trains at the
times and place and in the manner pro-
posed as extremely Objectionable, and in
iuIious to our people; he yet recon-
mended running OF trains to meet them
for tie present, rs proposed. After fur
Their Discussion 10y Mr.. Garfield and
others, it was voted TO make the passenger
and that Mr.. Park take such
course as to other connections as he
might think most advisable.
The following is the freight tariff Of the
Troy Il Boston Company from Troy to
the State line, 80 miles as furnished
Mr.. Park and by lin laid before said
meeting:
For LIST class freight, per hundred, 2G
cents "a class 81 cents; Sd class Il
cents lth class II cents; 9TH elias II!
cents.
BY referring to the printed freight
tariff Of the Troy Il Boston Company
it will be observed at the outset that we
are not objects Of charity, nor particu-
larly favored by that company, as win be
seen.
From Troy to Hoosic, a distance of so
miles, precisely the same distance from
Troy to State line,) where We pay 26
cents, Hoosick pays only IS cents.
Troy to Blaekingtoh a distance of 40
miles pays only - cents, while we are
required to pay to Blhckington a dis
tancc Of p miles, the sum of2i cents,
From North Adams to State line we
are required, TO pay - cents, on dis
lance of - miles, while Hoosie Falls, a
like distance, pays II cents.

miles, pays Is. cents, while we must pay
to Williamson. a distance Of - miles, the
sum OF % cents
Buskirks pays to Troy distance Of q
miles, IS cents, while we pay to Grants,
same distance % cents.
These are but few comparisons and
are OF first. class freights. The same
wide difference III rates runs through the
other classes, and other stations.
