Very Respectfully,

After considering these most Ia
vorable premises, the Directors
with enthusiastic purpose and una
nimity resolved on pressing 1or-
ward the enterprise with renewed
vigor and energy, and adopted the
following resolutions:
LIST, That the Company apprecl-
ate the Importance of taking prompt
and efficient action to secure the
right of way, and the building OF
the road; and that aid and cooper
alton of the people along the line
is earnestly asked to effect this pur-
pose.
2nd, That as it appears from a
published circular the people on
the Ohio side of the river are try
ing to furnish two hundred thous-
and dollars IN addition to the right OF
avay to build road on the Ohio side
of the river from Marietta to Bel
laire, while on the West Virginia
side we are asked only to furnish
the right of way: that if our people
now fail to secure the road on the
West Virginia side on conditions SO
reasonable, it will not be creditable
to their enterprise or public spirit.
Sd. That, with the view to an effi-
cient organization in managing the
affairs Of the company, looking to
obtaining the right of way, and
getting the road in shape to be
placed under contract, a com
mittee consisting of Geo. w.
Thompson, Jr., Vice-Pres., Chas. H.
Shattuck and W. n. Chancellor be
appointed, who shall have full
power and authority to employ as
sistants, and to do all things neces-
sary to obtain the right Of way, and
to furnish to the Company full In
formation in regard to the same
that the engineers in charge report
to said committee, and that said
committee report from time to time
to the Board.
Chief Engineer Mcconnell was
directed to make a more definite
location of the line between Wheel
ing and Parkersburg, and $4,000
additional stock was subscribed.
Among the Directors none were
more earnest and active than Mr..
r. H. Browse, who will see to it
that Peasants county is behind
none in her liberality and fairness
in conceding the right of way.
The meeting and the definite
shape matters have assumed, have
given the enterprise new life and
impetus which we hope will be
met promptly by our landowners,
so that our future may now be Sc
cured without delay.
The Point Pleasant Register is
fairly gurgling over with jubila-
ton, on the happy conjunction of
events that promise such 'boost"
to the staid old Point City. We
jubilate with our jubilant friends
down there, and thank them for all
their good words for the w. P. & G..
r. R., in which Point Pleasant is
equally interested with Parkers-
burg. With half the degree of lib
erality on the part of our land own
ers, that our other citizens are ready
to show, Parkersburg can soon
stand proudly erect on the great
through line of the B. & O. R. r.,
and stretching forth her liberal
hands, grasp at once in friendly
congratulations her sister cities,
Wheeling, Point Pleasant and
Charleston, and then We'll all
have a general jubilee.
THAT SIDE r. r. MEETINGS.
BELLAIRE MEETING. The citi-
zens of Bellaire, in response to q
request of committee of citizens
from this city, held a meeting last
