Carroll argues for selecting the Savanna route over Scafe’s Mound path to minimize costs and maximize stockholder value. He doubts Chicago directors’ motives, urges awaiting engineers’ reports, and suggests Northern Illinois gains from a Central Railroad connection if the Savanna option is favored. He notes Galena citizens’ limited stock uptake and previews legislative grants to advance northern rail links.
