for some time the old Republican party had

public money. Recent events in regard to par

The railway committee reported in the senate
on Friday, ineXpedient on the order relative TO
allowing the railroads an opportunity to locate
tracks IRON the Union passenger station, around
by the hospital and jail lands to connect with
the Nashua railroad. Three routes, known as
the eastern, middle and western, have been con-
sidered for the past month, and the city council
have thus far only consented 10 choice between
the eastern and middle.
These routes, we understand, have not been
acceptable to the companies, owing TO the extra
expense of about three hundred thousand dol
lars, which they would involve over and above
the cost of the western route or the viaduct
The universal feeling of all citizens seems to be
opposed to the yiaduct route, which is the only
alternative for the corporations, unless a law is
passed authorizing them with the consent the
city council, to make some other location than
the viaduct.
At the last meeting of the corporations and
the railway committee of the city, a request was
made to have bill reported allowing such
location of tracks east of the hospital and jail
lands as the city council might consent to on or
before the first day of August next, with the
provision, if no other location should be agreed
upon by that time, that the viaduct should be
built under the present law.
Such bin would be merely permissive, and
nothing could be done under it unless the city
council consented; but it would afford time in
which to make further surveys and estimates,
and perhaps be the means of settling this impor-
tant and vexed question of railroad connections
for the future.
The committee of the city declined the prop
osition, claiming that their instructions only
authorized them to consent to the eastern or
middle route. They however requested to have
the report of the railway committee lie on the
table, and if the city council saw fit TO give them
authority at the meeting this evening, then to
consent to the passage of a permissiye bill, as
asked for by the railroad companies.
We can see no reason why the permissiye bill
should not be consented to. Then an opportu
nifty would be given to determine upon some
location of tracks more acceptable than the VIA
duct route.
Unless some remedy is provided by law of
the present legislature, the railroad companies
will be obliged this fall to begin building the
viaduct. We understand the exact situation of
the new passenger station depends very much
upon the location of the connecting tracks be-
tween the roads running north and south If
the viaduct is to be built, then the building will
stand northwest and southeast. If either of the
other routes should be adopted, the building
would stand southwest and northeast. Hence
the Importance of determining the routes before
tho station l. pvoatlx- Ioaa+aJ
We hope such action will be taken this even
ing as will lead to the passage of some law, $50
that the public can approach the new passenger
station at Washington square from Main street,
without going under bridges over Front and
Mechanic streets.
