looks as If the timo for action had at las
come.
Tho active interest just now awakened
Is due, we presume, to the fact that pro
jeCt promising valuable results, and onC
not beyond our means, has recently pre-
sented itself in connection with the roaf
referred to, the L. s. s. T. V. The de
tails Of that project are carefully explained
in Mr.. C.s letter. We may allude here
10 the general features. The Lake Shore
s. Tascarawas Valley Road starts from
Elyra, on the Lake Shore road, some
twenty-five miles southwest ol Cleveland
crosses, few miles south, the Cleveland
Columbus & Cincinnati road and will
run southeast through tho counties Ol
Lorain, Medina, Wayne, Stark and Tus.
carawas to Dennison, and thence extend
southward to meOt tho road already built
from Marietta 10 Caldwell, In Noble
county. The company building this road
Is backed by ample capital; tho work on
It is progressing rapidly there is no
question that the entire road will DO built;
and II Is believed 1t will be paying line.
The company has contracts with the
Lake Shore road and the G., Q. u G. road
by which II secures tho same advantages
in respect TO ireights and passengers as
Il It's line were part Of those roads. That
Is, all freight and passengers passing over
1t and either Of the connecting lines will
pay each pro rata according to the dis
tanCc carried.
Now, the L. s. & T. V. Company pro-
poses II we will connect with Its line at
Frceport 1t will contribute third towards
building the branch, will consolidate with
US, and will afford us all the advantages OF
its connections with other lines.
The lavorite idea with Our citizens has
been direct line from this city to Toledo.
Several routes for such line have been
talked Of, but only ono organization hav-
ing that object exists, viz the Wheeling
s. Lake Erie Railroad Company, which
aims to build line by the route from Mar
tinsville Via Deep Run and Hopedalc. We
hear that this organization has done some
thing to secure right Of way and Subscrip-
