certainly wished TO have the city fur
nished with coal on the best terms
sumers could not pay over two cents a
mile per ton to the Providence road, then that
road could not afford to bring the coal, and
would be compelled to stop doing so, that was
where it would come. 1t is these same "opprcs-
sve railroads" he said, which have built up the
city and made it what it Isl and he thought it
poor policy to create this prejudice. Worcester
is the second city in the commonwealth and
something has made her so. If she is on the
down hill road, the start had been quite recent
and he was not aware Of it. He had noticed
the truth of the saying, that somehow it is the
order of Providence that large rivers run by
large cities. He did not see how this state was
going to legislate for roads in Rhode Island and
Connecticut.
Mr.. Walker maintained that it was the BUSH
ness men of Worcester that made the railroads
not the railroads that made Worcester. Gro
ton Junction, he said, had equal railroad facili-
ties, but is not made a thriving city by that
means.
Mr.. H. II. Chamberlin explained that the pub
lie had a right to demand this from the rail-
roads, inasmuch as they have rights not grant
ed to private corporations, can take our land
etc, and are dependent upon the public for sup,
port. He closed by moving the appointment of
committee of five, to be chosen by nomination
at large.
