COMMl NlCATED.
To the editor Of the -ihcrrntlriu Gn=rt'r.
4 few days since the following announcement
appeared in your paper:
The statement made in theGazette some days
ago respecting the proposed route Of the Alex
andria and Fredericksburg railway, was correc,
in every particular. In Il conversation with the
Engineer of that road he stated that us the
City Council had refused the right of way
through the city. and as it was fact that the
only railroad break between New ork and Tai.
lahasscc that now existing between Alexandria
and Fredericksburg should be filed and that ut
once. the company having that work to perform
had been compelled to locate their line around
Alexandria, barely touching corporate limits on
Northwestern boundary
This statement as to the action of the City
Council seems impossible to account for by the
ordinary rules of Judgment. Most cities are
anxious to obtain all the railway facilities pos
sible, in order that by means of the railways
they may extend their commercial connections,
and thereby. increase the prosperity Of their
citizens. Alexandria, being an excellent ship
city Of considerable commercial Importance. hay
ing a large coastwise shipping, as we'll as a
foreign export and import trade but this bene-
fetal trade can never largely come to Alexan-
dria until her railway facilities are far more
abundant Alexandria needs large extensions
made to the railways now in operation. and a
cordial ready grant of the right of way through
Alexandria to all railways that offer to connect
her with other sections Of country. When Alex
andria has six or seven railways leading we'll out
in different directions, capital will be attracted
here to do the large shipping and commercial
trade for the supply of the people in the inte-
rior, but which rade cannot now be done for
want Of the required railways just look for in,
stance what railways have done for the city of
St. Paul That city is not twenty-five year: old
but by wisely encouraging all railway enter
prises, she has now eight completed railways
running, six others in the course Of con5truc-
ton, has twenty four thousand inhabitants. in
the year 1869 erected five hundred new build
ings at cost Of one and half million dollar
did strictly wholesale trade to the extent OF
eleven million dollars, in the year just closed
1870. erected over seven hundred new build
ings at cost OF over one million seven hundred
thousand dollars. builtnew water works costing
forty-ive thousand dollars. spent seventy-eight
thousand dollars in new side walks. besides
other improvements. Most Of this was done
through the trade obtained by means Of her
railway connections. while Alexandria, by her
climate and location, so much more tavoraby
situated for trade, has claim to such pros
perity, and all because Alexandria has not rail
ways reaching out in many directions, bringing
trade and people to her. Ifrailways could in so
short time build up such city as ST. Paul.
assuredly would Alexandria be built up BY rail
ways, provided they run through the cit; and
not by her. TRAVELLER.
