TOLEDO AND ATLANTIC RAILRoAD.-l
A basis of an agreement has been en-
tered into between the Erie Rail Road
Company and the Committee of the
Council and the citizens of Toledo, for
The construction of railroad connect
ing Toledo with the Atlantic and Great
Western Railroad. The route for the
railroad is not specifically designated,
and viii depend on the promptuess
with which rights of way can be sscur-
ed on one route or another. It is q
condition on the part of the Erie Road
that the right of way shall be given to
them by whichever route they may
take.
If the people on the proposed line to |
Seville want the road built through |
their country, instead of north of them,
they must clear the track for the road |
within the next ten days, as one road or
the other viii be begun within that
time; snd as the northern route offers |
the inducement of track already in |
part donated, the people on the Seville |
route must work promptly, or they lose !
the road. The road will be built by |
one route or the other very soon, aud |
which route depends onShe prompt To- |
cal action on the different lines.-Blads |

b The above articles should indicate
clearly enough. to our citizens, that the
time is come when, if they would Sc
cure another outlet to the East and
direct connection with the coal regions
of the Southeast, they should be at
work. They should mark the fact stat
ed by the Blade that the route has not
yet been determined, but win be in
few days and the work immedistsly
commenced. Cannot our city pledge a
sufficient amount to secure its touching
here. It's but slight DETECTION from
an air line to have the road pass thro'
Fremont-not half SO much. as the
more southern route through Tifih
would require, and by the proper effort
aud enterprise it may be secured. Let
rot this opportunity be lost.
