RAILROADS.
Recornizing the fact that RAILROADS havu con-
stase shss lines heretofore te
be built and that new routes ought TO be Ioeat-
ed in orteEto sscqrs s re Pess aeyelo OF

General Assembly e encourage gitimate rail-
into the Tiinag CEMENT of some Of these eorporil-
tions which ought 70 be Corrected. lt is no un-
common thing for the officers of. railroad COM
| panies to associate themselves together as the
pronff of fast freight lines orin some 9TH

Though doing business within the limits Of the
OF the railroad corporations are asked TO list the

and have nothing 10 do with 1t. 1t has been i'm
possible to reach these inferior organizations.
4 One fast freight line has heretofore owned and
| used four thousand, cars, and all this pa opeFty
