tioas submitted at the same time, and
thus The people saved the expense oil
an additional election.
D.. Baird said the petition should 60
where Mr. Clator had moved to refer it
10 the Committee on Ordinances; the
Tu.carawas road was myth.
Or. Logan said he desired to bring
the railroad matter squsrely before the
PEOPLE. Wheeling to-day had thou
sands Ct dollars invested in masonry
and railroad iron which never Melted a
cent 20 the city, and he would now
warn the Wheeling public against this
bold attempt to get their money for
nothing. The bridge project and the
Lake Erie roads were myths, and he
hopei the people Of Wheeling would
examine matters carefully before voting
away their money.
Mr.. Forbes could see no reason why
The petition could not 90 to the commit
tee. He was in favor OF the Tuscarawas
road, and hoped it was meritorlous
enough 10 carry with the people.

railroad and would vote TOR it when II

wanted no choker on the other road OF
bridge

der 100000 Of the Wheeling tax
payers money.
