move its track.

hat the route over which the railway
vas 10 be built had been set apart by
he county for carriage driveway 10
Salt Air beach aud II should he kept
or that purpose.
Loofbourow moved that the report OF
he committee and Mr.. Folland's reso-
ution be tabled pending the prepaIa-

Ways where they did not iujure the
property owner. Everybody In this
lily knew that there was such n coun.
~ NJ the Deep Greek Mining district;
NO railroads NJ the lake would solve
