the new loan, and respectfully asking the Government to make provision for its construction, was -carried unanimously. A further resolution reminding the Government that their act, in placing the railway on the schedule of public works to bo executed, and subsequently sending commissioners to report on the route gave an implied pledge that the railway had the full sanction of the Government, and would be undertaken as one of the first works out of a new loan. A third resolution was also carried calling the attention of the Government to the fact that the people of this district have in no way abated their desire to have this railway promoted as one of the first importance to the district.
