The Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad has
made no move that Is known to the public,
looking toward the completion OF that road
to this place, aud in view Of this long delay
and inactivity, and the great aud increasing
demands on the part Of the growing indut-
tries, It hes been decided 10 make strong et-
fort 10 get some new road leading to the
northwest to come here. Atthe meeting last
Friday evening letters were read from those
interested In the Mt. Vernon, Ooshocton and
Wheeling Railway, road that Is being work.
ed up by General Jones and Others, Of Mt
Vernon, which were diSoussei, and resolu-
tons condemning the inactivity OF the W. &
L. E. z. R., and Offering this or any other
road coming here an earnest support, were
adopted. Affairs will take more
tangible shape In few more dsyB,
and committees will be appointed 70 sscure
the right OF way from here west and all the
local aid possible. 1t is thought BY some
that the right OF way taken by the Wheeling
& Lake Erie Railroad several years ago can
be taken under law In this State requiring
railroad companies to accept and uss their
grants and rights Of way within certain
Time; A strong effort will be made 70 take
the Wheeling & Lake Erie line and privileges
under that law. II seems almost necesSity
for the large manufacturing indsutries here
to have batter shipping facilities, the O. & P.
road being unable from their immense bust
ness TO furnish cars enough TO carry the
freight offered, and the shippers are hamper
cd IN this way all the time. And this state
ofafia'rs will grow worse as the industries
and growth OF the town increase, and any
new roa coming here will be most cordially
welcomed and aided BY everybody.
