The DIREcrons of the Kent County Railroad
AVE considered the action Of the late meeting
t Elkion, md have scnsibiy adopted the follow
NJ preamble and resolution:
WiEHIAs, Mr.. Eldridgc. as member of the
committee appointed by meeting of the citizens
# Cecil county, held in Ekton, on Thursday last,
o confer with this hoard In relatio. TO the east
ri terminus Of the Kent County railroad, has
ecn hetorc u.s. and explained that the people of
rcil desire our road to be diverted from its pres
NJ location Us to cross the Sassafras river near
ieorsctown, and proceed by way of Cccilton aud
'arwick Ia E!ktnn. therefore,
Resohca, That while this board regard Il road
. extend from the Kent County railroad to Elk
'a Us very d'sirah,c, we cannot favor such di-
sfsipn Of our road from lis present localirr as
c5ircd b., our n"lahbors in Cecil county.
This action is gratifying, MS it shows that the
.cnt county people have come 10 see that their
rand necessity is TO 20 straight ahead without
aggins or turning aside u pursue absurd cliincr-
ri scheuirs, until they get their road built ON the
Ian laid down. Aitcr that 1t will be time enough
0 talk about spending what money they haze
eft in builiing railroad to crafty State pride
nd political prejudice instead Of business neces-
ity.
