The question of route must, however, be decided, and, for that purpose, a meeting will be held on October 6. It is at this point-that differences of opinion arise/and, without doubt,,tho .point will, lead to an extensive discussion. As soon, however, as a de.c'?lon," arrived at and tho route agreed upon, the board can get to work, address the necessary meetings,' and hold the poll. • /There are other questions, also that call for decision before definite-stops can be-taken.
