B. ~ S. w. RAILwAY.-The Board of
Directors held meeting on Tuesday and
Wednesday, 18th and 18th inst, at
Beasvillc, for the purpose of selecting
one of several routes between Bealsville
and Woodstield, presented for their con-
sideration, under the appropriate sur
veys.
AS the topography of the county pre-
cluded direct line the choice had to be
made between two lines about equally in
direct. The line by way of Jerusalem
Tor within half mile of it, proved to be
the best in grades, curvature and cost,
and also promised larger control of
trade. Under these several considera-
tions the board will not do otherwise than
adopt it, although much feeling in
Bealsville were excited on the
question: inasmuch as the excitement
was probably based upon the
apprehension that portion of the
trade upon which they had built hopes
might be intercepted on the way by the
elbow which the proposed location would
make west of the town rather than on the
east side, where the counter elbow could do
them no mischief. But as the sworn OBJ
legations of the directors required con-
sideration of all the interests involved,
they had to disregard the circumstances
of Bellaire. Indeed, as none OF the stock
subscriptions of Bealsville were to be used
on this extension to Woodsfeld, it seemed
somewhat out of place for Bealsville to
make any objection.
The new line Will be prepared for con-
tracing as fast as the engineer force can
be spared for it.
One who has recently passed over the
line between Bellaire and Bealsville re-
ports fair amount OF work being done
on some of the sections, and contractors
actively preparing for putting larger
force at work.
