An Elmira correspondent state
| that IL really begins to look as IL FL
mira would in the future be connected
| by trolley with Towanda on the soutl
and Corning on the west As is gener
| ally known, a party of Elmirans hav,
| already secured an option on tn
| Corning & Painted Post railroad
which they intend to extend to FL
| mira, and the road Is now bonded fo
100000, although five times that am
| cunt is required. The sale of bond
| was slow owing to the fear of western
| capitalists who were to invest I'm tn
scheme that the railroad commission
ers of New York state would not ALLOW
the increase in bonding. This DIM
Guilty Is now adjusted, and it is believ
ed the opinion will show them that al
increase will he given.
