with great deal of interest. and I may
suggest to the Valley interests that now
may be favorable opportunity for them
to agitate the question of an extension
Any substantial move on the part Of the
Valley people to extend to Salem or be-
yond or to lurn further to the right as has
been suggested by some parties in inter
est. would now meet with hearty accord
in Baltimore.
AS the road to Lexington has been COM
pleted with an obligation less than was
expected when work was resumed, there
is probably basis of confidence which did
not exist at that time, which might be
utilized by the Valley interests and by the
| city, as we'll as the Railroad Co., to secure
a still further extension, and hope that
some of the counties and other local in
terests beyond Lexington will take this
question I'D and give to it definite shape
and such vitality as will secure a further
extension beyond Lexington at an early
| dete.''
