About the Railroads anu 'ne "''GeS'
Weiny,te the attention ot city readers
,othe article Of an intelligent correspond
ont elsewhere, on The bridge and railroad
ones,iop, The conclusion he arrives at Is
eyac,ly the ground held by us in oppos'
inu tbe restrictions asked Tor by the
CouncIl and imposed by the Legislature,
recurring the roads to come across tho
east channel as condition precedent to
aid from the city. That legislation has,
Il seems to us, rendered the action pro-
posed by our correspondent and formerly
advocated by us quite out ol the question
Since he does not appear to recognize the
obstacle that has been interposel, let US
endeavor TO state what we understand 1t
to be. The city Is forbidden to subscribe
to either company unless upon guarantee
that tho company twill construct It's road
into said city and make It's eastern tcrmi.
nus, and have It's depot grounds and
buildings thereon, within the corporate
limits of the said city, east Of the east
channel Of the Ohio river" This we fear
could not successfully be construed as
permitting the ferrisge OF trains; and we
Judge Council would not propose sub.
scription or the people vote 1t. Upon
that kind of construction; or If they
did, doubtless the payment Of q subscrip-
ton without guaranty Of a bridge would
be arrested by injunction. But we do
not hear that either company proposes to
ask a subscription on a Terry crossing.
There could be no such crossing unless
above or below the Island, without per.
mission of the Wheeling and Belmont
Bridge Company,f for that company has the
exclusive privilege as TO the Island. II we
srerIghtin believing a crossing by ferry In.
admissible under the terms of the legis.
lation enacted, the only remaining ques.
tiOn is can either company give a guaran.
ty that it will come into the city by a
bridge. As bridge would cost twice or
thrice as much as it has been proposed TO
subscribe to either road, this fact answers
the question. Our correspondents logic
then appears to lead to these conclusions:
Neither road can be built to the river
without the aid Of the city.
Neither can be assisted unless it will
come across the river.
Neither can come across the river with
rwithout the city's aid.
Therefore, the city cant subscribe, The
roads can't be built, and nothing can be
done.
This seems to be the situation produced
by the requirement asked for by Council
and imposed by the Legislature. We are
hopeful that this dead lock may be broken
by the proposition to build a bridge
through a separate company; which,
while receiving aid from the city, should
draw hall or more Of the requisite capital
from private sources. AT the same time,
our object is not to enforce any views of
our own, but by cliciting a general dis.
cussion to bring out suggestions that may
aid the Wheeling public in determining
what is best to be done.
