SENATOR WARNER has introduced a
bill into the Senate requiring the c..
st. p. NJ. & 0. r. r. Co. to extend its
River Falls branch to Ellsworth. We
understand that the bill has passed
the Senate and is now on its passage
through the House. This bill is a
compromise on the part of the COM
pany, their grant obliging them to
build to the Mississippi river, and
this bill relinquishing on the part of
the state the agreement TO build as
originally required and making Ellis
worth the terminus instead of the
Mississippi river point.
