The matter is not yet settled, but tho
question will remain in doubt but a few
days longer, at least, that's "the; way the
wind is blowing now."
Tho people of Cincinnati havo becomo
interested in tho road, and are ready to
extend a helping hand. As a proof of
this we clip tho following from the Board
of Trade proceedings in Friday's Commercial
Gazette:
" Tho matter of tho construction of tho
Cincinnati and Big Sandy Railroad, ou
the Bouth aide of tho Ohio River, from
Ashland, Ky to Covington, Ky., was
introduced by Mr. Livezey, who stated
that it was necessary that in order to
complete tho purchase of tho right of
way the sum of $35,000 was necessary in
ordor to close tho contract with Mr. Huntington,
which Bum was necessary
to complete tho amount asked for
from Campbell County, Ky. Tho
citizens thoro had already subscribed
$40,000, but as tho road itself would,
without any doubt whatever, provo beneficial
to Cincinnati, by opening up a
coal and mining region hithorto untapped,
and at tho same timo developing a now
territory for tho salo of Cincinnati manufacturers,
it bad been considered, after
duo consideration on the part of the bulk
of tho manufacturers and wholesale
merchants, that it would provo emineutly
desirable to aid the proposed new road in
ever manner possible, eithor.by financial
.or moral support, Mr. Livezey was ,ap
pointed on a special committee to report
at tho next regular meeting."
