II holds the eligible ground for the East and West
Road between the Sound and the Western Railroad of
Massachusetts,, and by of the physical character
Of the country must control large local and through
business beyond the reach of competition.

of Salisbury, the lime and marble of Canaan and the
heavier manufacturing interests of Coinsville New

increasing freight business
