Men interested in
the progress of the east side of the river,
knowing that, without a mighty effort on
their part^ the road would locate itself on
I
the west side, have set themselves to work
with a view to stealing the franchises of a
legally organized Company because said
Company was
committed in advance to
the policy of giving all portions of the

Company’s title, which Company procee

to let the contract for building a road loca

This we grant, and
it is for the purpose of showing this fact up
and of maintaining our rights in the prem

side of the river suffer tbe regular Company
—the Company pledged to give us a fair
show in the matter, to look supinely on,
and do nothing, we thereby legalize the
action of the Company which has already

ignored our claims and left us out in the

This qustion is a settled one. ; The
road is already locatad(7) where it will be
of no practical advantage to us whatever,
and it only remains for tho people of the
west side to adopt and prosecute vigorous
measures looking to the bursting out of tbe
arrangement.
