practically from the most northern
point of the Atlantic coast to the gulf
ports, with network of tracks grid
ironing New England, the east and
middle west, and tapping the great
est freight producing territory in the

The colossal merger when perfect

embrace practically all the railroad
mileage in New England, together
with the present Pennsylvania lines
east and west of Pittsburg, with all
through connection to New Orleans
and Mobile ON the gulf.

the entire amount for the erection of

serve to continue some of the existing

Should the money thus secured be
utilized for the erection of three school
