The Railroad Through Hartford County.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 18th 1872.

DALIlMORC, rCD. lobn lCiS.
To tie Et1itor Of the 1fgis d. MteNigence,:
The editorial on the railroad question in
your issue of the I'd inst. is very true, and all
very good, and what your correspondent
observer says is directly to the point.
His suggestions carried out at once will
doubtless result in road being made through
your county. The people Of Hartford stand
more in need of II railroad to Baltimore from
the Susquchanna via Bel Air, than Balti-
more county, and should by their acts be the
first to say what they will do towards build.
ing it. Ifmemorials be started at once in
your county, instructing your delegates and
senator to present the same to the General
Assembly, and advocate bill authorizing
the Commissioners of the county to issue
bonds for say 100000, net proceeds to be
applied to the subscription to the capital
stock of the road, with condition therein
for protection that 100000 be subscribed by
individuals of the county, and 100000 or
100000 by other parties, it will show that
Hartford is ready to do her part, and she will
then be ready for the question at the next reg
ular election two years hence. Otherwise
you lose two years-as the constitution re-
Quires the act to be published for two months
before the next election for members of the
House of Delegates, in the newspapers of the
county, and be approved by majority of all
the members elected to each house at its
next session after said election" it being
local bill can receive all the necessary legis-
ation this session. The apathy and indiffer-
ence manifested by your Citizens in this mat
ter is beyond our comprehension.
Should the suggestions of your correspon-
Diet Observer be acted on at once, have no
doubt sufficient aid will be found elsewhere
to build your road,
