1 Thursday of last week there was •
large representative gathering of the
ratepayers of Dungannon and vicinity to
bear the railway question discussed.
The meeting was celled by )layer But-
ler, of Goderieh, at the rtqueet of the
oommittee of the town content and a re-
solution of the Board of Trade, and
Godenth ran represented by May -.r But-
ler, Reeve Proodfoot and Mr D. Mc-
Gill,cuddy,and Colborne was championed
by Reeve Bcck, who carefully watched
the interest of his township in the pre
ousels. In addition there was present •
strung delegation from Luck now—some
twenty tine to comber—led by that re
doutable bonue:getter James Somerville,
ex M P , and Reeves Bryan, who Lad
drives to to see that Lucknow was given
• show in the new railway program ;
Port Albert was represented by Mears
Mabady, A. Hawkins, C. O'Connor and
others O Ashfield by Reeve Griffin and
deputy reeve Clinic, and a goodly
spinkling of ratepayers ; and the Wasa-
ooshes by councillors and Todd, Gibson
and other well-known pregresstve rein
dents.
The meeting opened by Er J. M.
Roberts, of Dungannon, being elected
chairman, and the tint speaker was
Mayor Butler, of Goderich, who stat-
ed that the town of Goderich practically
held a charter over the ',refereed route,
and tntencuea with the assistance of the
friends in this section to build the road
to Wingham. The old charter had ex-
pired by effluxion of time, but he had
good legal advice that under eertatn
conditions it would still hold. it had
been stated by interested parties that
Godertch intended to give Dungannon
the go-by, and one of the principal cb-
jeota of this meeting was to show that
there was no ground for such an assump-
tion. Up to the present co line had
been laid down, and under that condi-
tion Dungannon er any other place/Lembo
not be given the go-by by Goderich. For
years past Goderich had been agitating
for competitive roads, most of the agita-
te. o being confined to the .oath and east.
Finding that the road. from the south
were slow in coming, they had goer
turned to the north. Mr Van Horne
two Jean aim had shown • dete-
station from Golerich an air -line from
Guelph, and had expressed his determi-
nation to build such • line as soon as
he was in a position to do so. A charter
was got shortly after that fur • continu-
ation of the lose at Wingham to connect
with the proposed Guelph line some
where in Colmorne townstip. This
charter when nearly expired had been
asked for by Mr Meyer, and he could
have had it had be been willing to give
the slightest information regarding what
he proposed to do with it, and the route
be proposed to take. 1'he speaker again
disclaimed against tiodench having a
feeling against Dungannon, and said this
meeting had been called principally to
disabuse the people of this section of
that error, which had been placed in
ciroulation by designing persons. The
town council had passed a resolution re-
pudiating the idea of antagonism to
Dungannon. :',Applause.)
Mr Wm Mallough was of opinion that
the old charter, if good, would not snit
Dungannon. The lone might be an air
tine, and in that event would go three
miles east of them. (Applaese.)
Mr Somerville, ex K P., of Lucknow,
said if Goderich applied for a renewal of
the charter, it would have prior claim to
any ether charter:that etas his ezperience
of the parliamentary railway committee's
prooed.re. He then went on to advocate
the necessity of building the road by
Lucknow to Dungalinon, from Wingham.
Luoknow was • thriving town, and meld
h ive financed and mend •id towards
bedding the proposed road, and he be -
leveed it would be in the interest of the
promoters -t the new *chem. not to give
Locknow the cold shoulder. Ashfield
bad a butt end that looked upon Locknow
as its best market, and that end would
be • big factor should • hones hedeaired.
They were wilting to work with Goderieh
and Dungannon, but they oertainly
would work for Luoknow. What was
wanted was 000cered action, vigoross
action, and all to pull one way. If it
came by Locknow, Ashfield and Cakes
eoald be looked to for large betimes;
f not, the olmaess for &estates.' from
hoes quarters were nil. To the people
of Dungannon he would soy : eon. with
Goderieh and then with Locknow, and
you will get the road. (Applegate.)
The chairman was pleased to her
roes Mr Somerville that Ltlek.ow was
o harmony with lie proposed so4ne..

i 6ed time, when the application for re-
newal was made. He had no objection
to Port Albert's getting • railroad, but he
had been appointed a delegate to attend
this meeting to disrybuse the people of
D.aganeoo of an err.uteous idea that
had bees drilled into their are by in-
terested parties, that Goderieh was
opprned to a line coming from ties see -
teen. The town council had passed a
rss.letico to show that Guderich had no
animosity against Dungannon ire oho
matter, bat waisted h.rmonwus action.
There was no reason why • road from
Wtngham to G•der:ch by Dungannon
should be Inimical to the interests of
Port Albert, for no objection would be
railed by Goderich to • spur line to that
eoint, although we cculd not be expected
to build it for them.
Mr Mahaffy, had almost come to the
conclusion that Port Albert was to be
ignored were it nut for the side •llssion
of Mr Pr esdfuot. The scheme we bad
got up was worked by Wingham and
Port Albert, and Dungannon had after-
ward. teen brought in. He did not
take any stock in the Lucknow road, for
Ashbeld would nut give five ants for
such • road.
Mr Somerville—I would give that my-
self. and I am in Ashfield. Laughter )
Mr Mahaffy—Well, I mean you could
not calculate on • township bonus. Some
years ago Ashfield Rase 910,000 of a
gnus to • railroad that never touched
it, but it won't doe again. Port Albert,
if it hal half as much expended upon its
harbor by Goveniment as ft -clench had,
would be a better harbor. Goderich bad
received about half a million dollars and
Pert Albert only $9,000. Even now a
large vessel chartered with grain from
Fort William to Guderich was on its way
W Sarnia to unload • portion of its cargo,
owing to the fact that it could not enter
Goderich Luber wiiti • full cargo.
Mayor Butler—What boat is that!
Mr Mabafy—The Myles.
Mayor Butler—I oan inform the
gentleman the Myles arrived io Goderieh
this mornrog.
Mr Mahaffy.—I don't mean the Myles;
I mean that other boat—blame it ! I
can't just think of the name.
Mayor Butler—The Shickluna, per-
haps.
Mr Mahaffy—No, that's only a little
bit of a thing. I mean one of the 40,-
000 beehel boats.
Mayor Butler—Gnderich harbor has
Dever claimed to admit 40,000 bushel
boats.
Mr Mahaffy—I know that, but it is in
poor shape for any freight boats just
now. We want railroad communication
to Port Albert, and unless • line is built
to that point Ashfield can not be looked
to for • bonus.
Mr Bowers said the remarks made by
the chairman covered his views on the
railway question.
Reeve Beck, of Colborne, had been
on the railway committee .t Goderich
for some years and during that time had
heard not • word against • road by Dun-
wnoon. 1f this road were gone on with
Colborne would be benefited, and could
be looked to for assistance. What was
principally wauted was railway com-
petition. He was satisfied a renewal of
the charter would be granted. He also
believed the Guelph junction line would
be ocostructed shortly, and that, too,
would run through Colborne.
Mayor Butler said, in reply to Mr
Mabaffy, that Goderich bad unfortunate-
ly not received the full benebt c f the large
ezoenditure of public money at its har-
bor, but that was not the fault of the
town. The manner in which the harbor
had been treated was a disgrace to the
country, and something would have to
be done quickly to remedy the present
state of &Heirs. Oederich esu on the
map as.jharbor of refuge, but, °wise to
the negligence of the powers that be, it
was now little better than • decoy W.
were here, however, to talk railway sad
not harbor aornenmodation.
Reeve Griffin, of Ashfield, would like
to bear the amnont of bonuses expected.
He thought the matter should be care-
fully considered. Unless the township
of Ashbeld was benefitted much of a
bonus could not be expected. Even if 1
the road went to Port Albert, a Israel
part of the township would be noeerved.
The chairman summed up the sera
meets of scum of the provicus awaken
and stated that the consensus of opinion 1
was that rsilroad competition was badly ,
needed to lessee the cost of freight. He 1
then called upon 1
Mr D. MoGillicudd] of Goderieh, who
was satisfied that the large number pre -
wont and the live dissuasion of
the question thee far was good evidence
that • railway project such as that
embraced in a line from Wingham to
Goderich was of deep importa.o
to the people of this vicinity. It
had been rumored in this section that
Osderich was opposed to a line from the
aorto, tet such was not the ease. What
was wanted by Galeria' was: railway
oompetilion, and no matter what point
it came from it would be welcomed.
Then was • time when • line by way of
D.apaeoe would have been looked up-
on by some in Goderich as prejdistal
to the trade of the town, but that day

pany. The construction of a dux)tigjil
road from Guelph was a ountiogeome of
the wear future, and in that event tiers
would be • juo.tiou of the two Tines at
some point io Colborne—possibly oast
Carlow. Hs plainly stated some ofd
the difficulties that lay in the way of a
lye by Lucknow, the priooip•l objets -
tutus being the increased length, and
the fact that the Ito* from Wiogbam to
Luoknow would be running parallel
with an ezutine line of rued. The
state of trade in Goderich and the
existing railway dltieulties to the way
of increasing the volume of traria from
the town were then taken et toad du -
cussed. In conclusion be pekii•4 out
that Goilerich had undoubted pawession
of the tield, and even if the old charter
did not hold, they had first place Defer,
the railway committee in Parliament for
• renewal. Goderich intended to build
tee road, and the question for Dun-
gannon to consider was whether it would
not be better to link its toteresta with
the county town rather than continue to
tight for the charter from Wingham to
Port Albert. He had no objection to
Port Albert's getting railway connection,
and when the line to Goderieh was
completed it would be easier to
build a sten to that point, but
he believed the interests of the peo-
ple of this action would be best served
by joining wi:h Goderich, which eras in a
better welters' to give financial and ether
material aid to the project than any
ether terminal point on the Lake Shore.
The terminal point would be looked to
for about a third of $60 OGO .took re-
quired before the statute could be com-
plied with, tor it reuuired money and men
tea build railways, and there was • better
chance of getting both in • town
of 4,000 or 5,000 population than
in smaller and lees ineueatial plac-
es. He instanced the case of the
line between Simco• and Port Rowan,
which was completed in aboct a year
from its inception, and stated that a simi-
lar live action in the present case would
bear like result.. There was no time for
delay, as the application must be made
et once if the charter was to be granted
by next parliament. Joint action all
along the line was required, and now was
the time, or never. (Applause.)
Reeve Bryan, of Lucknow, believed
by including Luoknow in the scheme
better bonuses could be obtained from
the adjoining municipalities. He did
not think it would be in the interest of
the scheme to leave Lucknow out to the
oold, and gave statistics to show lhat
the trade of his town would be a
factor in causing • railway to swerve a
little out of its course.
Mr W. Mallough thought after hear-
ing the explanations by the Guderich
gentlemen that it would be in the inter-
est of Dungannon to have "too Dungan-
non,' inserted in the charter. The
Goderieh gentlemen may have the power
to act from the town or they may not.
Inserting Dungannon in the charter
would settle the matter so far as we
were concerned.
Short explanatory speeches were made
by Moen. Butler,Proodfoot, Mallough,
Somerville, C Girvin, Bryan and others,
when the following resolution was sub-
mitted:
Moved by Mr John Mc1;.ean, seconded
by Mr B Augustine, that in view of the
fact that Goderich is determined to have
its charter renewed, and from ez-
planatior.• made by Mayor Butler, Reeve
Proudfaot and Mr McGillicuddy, of
Goderich, and Reeve Beck, of Colborne,
that they decide to co-operate with Dun-
gannon and other municipalities interest-
ed, as soon as possible, resolved that oar
committee work with (lnderioh, thereby
saving titn, and mgney. provided the
charter read as follow.: —From Wing -
ban tc Goderich, via Duogaonon, with
power to build • breach line from Dun-
gannon to Port Albert.
The resolution was carried •Imes►
unanimously, only some five voting
against it.
A vete of thanks was tendered the
chairman for his able and impartial dis-
charge of the duties of his office, aft.=
which the meeting was brought to
clow by cheers for the Queen.
