After considerable debating it was
agreed that the representation of
counties be equal and that each county
represented, be entitled to cast five
votes. The members from each
county went into session separately
and selected their chairman. The
chairman of each county, when called
upon, to give an idea of what their
county would do towards building the
road responded, and all seemed to be
willing to do all in their power to ac-
complish the desired end.
The matter of finance, route and other
important points connected with the
project were discussed st length, and
motion was made by Y. Hawkins ,
that an organization be perfected to !
build a north and south railroad :
