is to be promptly made By the authoritie
oftbe company. From what we can lear n
this beliefs well founded, and everythin;
which persistent energy can do will b
done to make the enterprise successful
and successful Immediately.
We have taken onr glimpse a. the con
ference Of the President and Director
from the outside-,hrough the key hole
but We believe we have got into the secret
ofthc conference, and propose to tell oar
readers what we know aboJ; them
On Saturday night tho Board Of Direc
tors organized, with President Bnu,Jia
IA the chair, and Messrs Halliday Iiurl
and Mitchell present. Gen. Rum, tho
attoaney was also in attendance o. aid the
Directors in their deliberations.
The whole subjcc; of the ,ran,action. Of
the company, its embarassmcn,s aud pros
poets was thoroughly discussed, and from
statement Of President Burnside, and
conclusive evidence by hin. furnished, the
Board hrc sure that his negotiations for
mOn"y IN London can Dc consuin mated If
the plan which ha. been adopted shah
meet the approval Of the several county
aud city authorities along the limo Of the
proposed road.
Tho plan horc referred - was suggested
by TnE BULLETIN ne long ago as la.,
spring, and IL /, had been then acted upon
would have placed ia the hand. of ,lc
company the ability 20 have proceeded
with the work immediately. The plan
has now been adopted by the Director. Of
the road, aud has boon set forth in M ud.
dross to The several county courts Of tho
counties which have yabscribsI - the
capital stock Of tho company. Briefly
told the plan /. as follows
The directors propose ~ the city couu.
ell Of Cairo aud tho County Courts Of Al.
exander, Pula,ki and johnson counties,
that the bonds Of Cairo aud the coun,ie.
nansl 'hall immed lately be Issued, and
placed in the hands Of trustee, 70 be agreed
upon by the city, counties and company.
These bond. shall be held ty the trustees
and surrendered TO the company only
when tho company shall have bough, iron
rails sufficient TO iron the road from Cairo
u Vienna, thirty -th-ccmiles. When this
iron has been procured by the company il
shall DO pa: under the control OF the trust
ees before the bonds are delivered, aud
shall remain subjec, to their control uniu
the rails have been laid upon the rond.bed,
when 1t shalt pas TO the control of the
company. In order 20 complete the road
from the junction Of the Shawneotown
and ST. Louis road to Harris
burg, the Directors ask that ihe
bond, ofsallno county, under the same
conditions, shall be placed in the hands
Of trustees and - complete tie road
from the junction OF the Springfield and
railroad TO the town Of
Carmi, they ask that the bonds Of White
county, under tso same conditions, shall
be placed IN the hanls of trustees.
Now, the question ia, viii The county
courts respond promptly and All upon
this plan OF the Directors We want the
road-snd ara willing 10 give Cor it the
bonds promised. Admitting this, why
should We hesitate 20 allow QUE credit TO
help secure the road We so much desire ?
By placing our bonds a. suggested, We
can lose nothing and may secure nil We
wish. The iroa can be obtained. and
with the bonds issued ss indicated, the
road bod, already almost completed, can
be finished. There II no doubt % this.
We cannot, therefore, see why the coun-
Lies should hesitate, and We cannot nh I
testand why Cairo and Alexander should 7.
falter one moment. By pacing our /
bonds in the hands Of trustees /
rs suggested, We can surely /,
obtain the roads construction from here /
10 Vienna, thirty-three miles, and such
road, IL il were never carried on mile /
further, would be OF incalculablc benefit !
% our city, and would give Us wha, our I
establishments will de-
nsnd--cheap articles OF food, We have
lot time to further pursue tho subject (
nus hastily referred to, and turn the Pc
'ponsibility Of definite and prompt action
ovcr to the County Court and City !
Council.
To show that experienced Inen-men !
deeply Interested in the success OF the road
believe the plan Of the Directors ieasi-
sible, We publish the following commune
cation from Dodge, Lord Il Co.;
To our friends aud all interested in 'his enter |
prise
After a full and free conference with the |
President and Directors of the Cairo "
Vincennes Railroad Company We arrive at
tho following conclusions:
First-That the interests OF all parties
who wish to see the road completed Will
be promoted by the early resumption OF
work. .chf
SecoM.-That such resumption and
prosecution to completion are practicable
Third.-That, in view of the near ap-
proach of the best season for practical OPP
CREATIONS II is very important that arrange
ments TO that end should be concluded
with the utmost dispatch.
We are satisfied, from the representa-
tions made to rs, that no effort will be
