| We are glad to see from the
following proceedings of the Board of Directors at Augusta, on Thursday,
an official copy of which was sent to the Mayor, that this work is going
ahead according to the original programme, and the rumored changes are
without foundation: |
| Office of the Milledgeville R. R. Co. |
| Augusta, Nov. 22nd 1860 |
| Sir, |
| At the monthly meeting of the
Board of Directors of the Milledgeville Rail Road Company, held on 20th
Nov. inst., the following Resolution was passed by the Board. |
| By D. C. Campbell, Esq:
"Whereas, the rumor has been extensively circulated, that it is in
contemplation to arrest the construction of the Road at Sparta, which
rumor has prevented the payment of instalments on the Stock, and the
arrangement by the Stockholders for future instalments." |
| "Be it therefore Resolved,
That it is the intention of this Board to construct the Road according
to the requisitions of the Charter, running it through Sparta and
Milledgeville, and extending to Macon, and complete the entire line as
early as the resources of the Company will render it practicable, this
Board hereby pledging itself in good faith to carry out this
understanding." |
| By the request of D. W. Orr,
Esq., I send you the above. |
| Respectfully your ob't serv't |
| W. Milo Olin, Sec'y Board |
| To Dr. M. S. Thompson |
