ALEXANDRIA OPPOSITION TO RAILROAD BILL
A meeting OF business men was held Monday
night in the council chamber for the purpose of
taking some action to prevent the passage b.
the Virginia legislature OF the bill now pending
before that body, granting 9 charter to the
Baltimore, Cincinnati and Western Railway
Company the provisions OF which grant the
point on the Potomac north OF Alexandria said
to be at Edwards Ferry through the counties
OF Fairfax, Loudoun, Clarke, Frederick, Hamp-
shire, &C., along the proposed route of the
Washington and Ohio railroad, to the borders OF
West Virginia the effect of which would be to
divert the trade Of all that section and carry 1t
direct TO cities outside OF the commonwealth,
and especially to discriminate against the bust
ness interests of Alexandria. A substitute for
the bill was presented by Mr.. Mckenzie, which
is proposed, is to be forwarded to Richmond,
providing that before the act can become bind
ing the capital stock of not less than one million
dollars shall be paid up; that the proposed new
company shall purchase the w. & o. r. r. and
construct its road on the proposed line of that
road, and. making provisions to guard the
interests OF the state and OF Alexandria. A res
Glution was adopted that MeSsrS. Lewis McKen-
