7th, The propositions far AID in Bos
ton and New York are not of the .nsala
kind, Generally, when aid is grated
those who give it ask for security. ana
that the amount shall be repaid In on
case they g'vs outright They ask u,
security, and guarantee tina. the ameun
shall never be called for. There are sew
eral connecting roads aud Cos that vii
without doubt furnish this kind Of aid
The tendency of such aid is TO make thu
original stock of our road good, and I,
can have no other effect. a @

through ono of the richest portions of Yer.

business in addition to lis local .trafi;c.
Oh. The business from the East to
the West and from the Vest to the East
has doubled in the last 10 years; this
can be shown by authenticated statistics.
Business men, both West and East, state
that it will double again in the next 10
years. If so. and there is no doubt of it,.
what thoroughfare our road must BIO at
the end of that time. 1t must be re-
munorahve enterprise. and the stock must
be worth par. Il so. then the togn sha,

llth. # We refuse to accept this op
portunity it is our last chance, aud let
me say, for feel it to be true. that any
delay or refusal on the part Of the Valley
IN the matter Is absolutely dangerous If
the towns from Danville to and including
Morristown refuse to render aid, the road
is certain to 60 to Montpelier, because a
connection can be made there by building
80 miles less road than to 90 to Gcorsi..
and 45 miles less than to 60 to swanton.
Again, if the towns down so far as. and
Morristown, render aid and
The towns belaw refuse. the connection will
probably be made at Waterbury over the
Nlt. Mansfield route from Morrjsville.
Hence, it stands every town in the Val.
