McCoy Chairman* and W. W.lpi Hamilton Secretary. Aitei a brief statement I g of the object of the meeting* the following I l Committee of three were appointed on busi- ft ness and Resolutions. Commit**. J. C. a Adams, Seth Lowe, A. C. McCoy, who re- J ported lor the consideration of the meeting, ' the following Preamble end Resolutions which after due consideration and discussion j o were one by one unanimously adopted.—I* Whereas it is evident that the wants of a very large section of country as welt as the best in'erestof the Cincinnati end Indianapolis | R. R. demand a switch where said road crosses the Napoleon tad, in order to secure the freight and accommodate passengers from the north-eastern part of Decatur, and south eastern part of Rush couties. In as much also as the advantage o! the R. R. arising from the certainty of a 6witch at that point was the prime argument, used by the agents of said road to secu'e the right of way through Hugh's and McCoy’s lands, upon the strength of which promises McCoy has erected Stock scales and Hughs a Ware-ho use. Considering also the (act that the neighborhood generously offer to do all the necessary labor io constructing of mid twitch, we therefore:I at. Resolved, That in onr opinion the Directors and Superintendent of the abovr* named road are under the strongest possibleobligation to locate s switch at tbs point shore mentioned.2nd. Resolved, That as waare credibly informed that there are one or more switches now on ths road in the neighborhood of Tanners creek no longer needed there, we herein respectfully petition 1tie'Superintendent of said road to immediately appropriate he material of 6uch switch, or furnish new material for one at the point named in the foregoing Preamble.3rd. Resolved that should the Superintends t entertain any doubts as to the locating of said switch being both proper and profitable, we herein not only promise to grade the ground and lay the track, but also to donate to the Co. the several sums appended to our names, provided the Co. are unwilling to in c ir the necessary expense.4th. Resolved, That as Joseph 6. Monfort is the only Director on the Rest end of the road, who has not already solicited the Superinten dent to locate said Switch, and is known to oppose the same, we have good reason to su6-[ e;t him of being actuated by selfish motive*; of eudeavoting to force trade from its natural point on the R. R.; there by obliging the citizens of a large section of country, to drive their stock and liaul their produce an unnec-e?‘ary distance over bad roads.5th. Resolved, That we appoint a Committee of two, to wait upon Joseph G, Moufor*, for the purpose of obtaing his name to the foregoing'Preamble and first Resolutions,an l if so obtained; that they withold frrmi i ^1 j publication all Resolutions reflecting upon j him; but if not obtained, that they publish the entire proceeding of their meeting, in the l cahir Press and forward a copy of the same 1 to the President and Superintendent of the {Indianapolis and Cincihnati R.
