the same is hereby adopted and ap-
proved, and the citizens present
from all of said counties are hereby
requested TO sign their several names
and sffix their several seals to said
certificate, and acknowledge the
same according to law.
Resolved, That in the opinion of
this meeting, the corporate name of
The Cincinnati, Gallipolis and Pom
eroy Railroad Company is appropri-
ate and truly indicates the object of
said corporation.
"Resolved, That whilst for the
present time it is the policy of said
corporation to concentrate all its cap
ital and credit upon the speedy com
pletion of its line of railway from
Hillsboro to Gallipolis and Pomeroy,
nevertheless it is the fixed purpose
of said corporstion to extend aud
complete its westward line to the
city of Cinci cinnati, on the most prac-
ticable route and at the earliest pc
riod of time which would be war
ranted by the pecunisry resources
of said corporation, and the sub
scriptions of stock west of HillsDoro.
"Resolved, That the well ascer-
tanned willingness of the land own
ers along the unfinished line of rail
way to Jackson Court House to sur
render to the Company now to be or
ganized, all the work done on said
line of railway, together with the
right of way without any compensa-
ton, and their willingness to sub
scribe new stock in aid of the pres
ent enterprise, on equal footing with
all others, is an act of liberal justice
in furtherance of Legislative interpo-
sition for the general improvement
of all parts of the State, and indi-
Gates an unmistakeable determination
that a railway, so long demanded by
the counties of Southern Ohio, shall
now be speedily completed.
"Resolved, That with work done,
of the cash value at this time of
0,000 on a line of railway, on q
route selected by the best engineer
ing skill, and satisfactory to all par
ties interested, and without any dis,
pute as to rights OF way or termini,
or any lateral entanglements, we feel
fully justified to declare, as we most
unhesitatingly believe, that the
$500, 900 of capital required to COM
plete a perfect road bed, ready for
the iron, will at once be subscribed
by the citizens of Cincinnati, the cit
izens of Highland, Pike, Jackson,
Gallia and Meigs, and that in the
year 1872 said railway will be in sue
eessful operation.
"Resolyed, Thatas earnest of our
Here were left blanks for
names of citizens representing the

they are hereby appointed as most
suitable persons to subscribe stock,
and to solicit subscriptions forthwith

Resolved, That all subscriptions
Of stock, except such as are obtained
in the city of Cincinnati, and not in
counties through which said railroad
passes, shall be expended and paid
out toward the completion of the
road and bridges in each county in
which such subscription is obtained,
until the said road bed in such coun-
ty is completed.
"Resolved, That this enterprise is
not founded in opposition to or COM
petition with any other projected
railroad line, but in the belief that
the coal and iron and other products
of the counties through which it
passes, would afford profitable bust
ness for completed line of railway,
whilst at the same time such COM
pleted line of railway would afford
The most feasible and only practica,
bic connection with the termini of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway,
and as good an outlet for travel to
the East through Southern Ohio as
can be afforded by any other line of
railway.
Resolved, That the persons here

counties to subscribe stock and OBJ
.ain subscriptions Of stock are here
Oy constituted q committee, with
