The opinion Of Judge Woodward, as

County Railroad Company authority 70

ment, and gave the liyeliest satisfaction
70 all who are interested in the welfare
10 the Reading and Of the schuylkill
Valley. It Is an able, argumentlye and
exhaustive statement Of the true facts Of
the case, aud is one Of the most Interest,"

Now kat tie great impediment to their
progress Is removed, we hope the Berks |
County Railroad Company will urge the |
road forward TO completion. They should |
brook no DELAY, but hurry up the con- |
tractors, give ,bem aid and encourage

the road at the earliest practicable mo-
,pent. The road should DO so far COM
pleted that the cars can run TO Reading
~ August next, the grading should be
completed 10 slauugtpn By September.
and trains should be running regularly
over the entire line BY the 1st Of nexl De-
eember. The construction OF the road IL
in good hands. There IL plenty Of sousy
for all purposes, and the road has plenty
of friends among all classes OF our psoplr.

Reading, whose financial and personal
standing is recognized throughout the
