DEAR'Slitaa--In your issue or the 2nd inst., I noticed a:Communication copied by you from the*Lonclon-Free Press., fi on the pen of J oh 0,Leekie, „Eaq., the worthy Reeve of Township of Grey. It appears h it meetings have been held in the • City of ,LOn- don, Ont., and in the Village of Exeter, at which certain parties-dis-' cussed the feasibility, the •propriety, nay, evan the necessity of eeinstruct- ing a railway from London to some point north. 'While all were appar- ently agreed as 40 the feasibility, gisc., of the proposed road, and that it should go to Exeter, the objective point farther north. appears to be a puzzle.; all are sixes and sevens on that 'point. Here, however, Mr. Leckie steps forward, and says "he has thought a great deal .on the sob- rjeet, and begs to sabruit his views:" 'MraLeckie certainly deserves' credit kr boldness and originality in chalk- ing out a route. To say, the least of it, he for one has no hesitation but dashcs along on'paper with rail- • road speed, and blazes out aroad, a() matter however impractibie it may turn out to be, that is surely long enough in all conscience. For the rea- son perhaps, that I have ndt thought over the Matter tor so many. years •as -Mr. Leckie, lam not prepared in - this comnaunication to dogmatize over routes. My object is simply.,to provoke discussion, so that 'all the information possible may bedissesui: flitted amongst the farmers of South Huron, to enable them, if called upon, to decide intelligently : 1st, If a railway from London -to Bayfield,. Clinton or Seaforth, is a neees.sity at this stage of existence ? 2nd, Woald it, if but, pay either directly or in- directly, running exiienses, and rea- sonable interest on the money in- vested? 3rd, Can we, in priesent ops _ cuntstances, get such a road built. AS will be noticed, I do not wish to disturb oneisingle tie of the track frem Seaforth to 'Southampton, laid down by Mr. Leckie, for it is obvi- ous to me that he is too late in, the field. That fine track of -country • north, which needs railway accom- modation badly, and is. quite able and`willing to help to build a road, is about to be served with one if not. two roads, one from Toronto and another from. Hamilton. Before these companies were iiiiugurated, and bonuses voted, Mr. Leckie should have been on the carpet—his road. had perhaps the ghost of a, b• chance; but now to run at cross pur- poses',, and tap the Buffalo •and • Goderieli, and tap the Toronto,. Grey • and Brure. as Mr. Leckie ackaits, with probability also of having to • tap a Wellington, Grey and Bruce railroad, is a luxury of tapping that I arn afraid North Huron and Broce will not be able to afford to taste for the next 20 years. Before tak- ing leave of Mr. Leakie, I will. with all due deference, suggest a possible • rails ay route for bins to agitate ---be. • -Would be the first in the fi Ad, and 'a I think would succeed, viz, to 'huild • a narrow guaga, eheap railroad from Searerth to Ainleaville, and on to Wroxeter or Bloevale. It is very likely he might expect a handscime bonus trona Seaforth for strati a road. For the route suggested by Mr.. I.eckie, it is extremely doubtful if shrewd business, -Men of Seaforth would give a single centa-thev would be more likely to throw ob- structions on the track, thao to give a bonus to a road that would wind - ! the noethern traffic pist -their owe doors. But to return home to South Huron. Let us briefly glance at this railway project in its different • aspects, as suggested '-by the ques- tions above proposed. Is lb a neces- sity? it mav be so to toe village of Exete; , if she is in a very great har- ry to enter into the urouhles and dif • ffaulties of an incorporated eXiateuce; it may be so ;MO with the City of London, which has, no doubt, 'grown in debt as well as io greatness, and wishes to have another string to her bow to help to shoot -some be the in - almost an posit' on no the Towns' or McGilva .THE HURON EXPOSItOR. 3. cost,. .

Se(ing that Exeter and Frain -jet° wn. are to be especially benefitfed, it is to be regretted that they are notin- coreorated now,- we 'would then haa'a, seen what they were willing -to do iti the way of a bonus, which 4bould a large one.. It is a well understood fact, however, nowadays, that sucb. roads cannot be built unless the townships through tbs.., run take large amounts of stock, which means, that the real estates in such nyunici- polities shall be pledged for a. certain; amount, and money borrowed there4 on, for Which interest will have to be paid annually, and ultimately the prinbipal also. It becomes then,fat- niers, a question, nearly altogether, for our consideration. Before . the 'leading lines west, vi, the Grand Trunk extension to Saroia, and the Buffalo and Goderich, railroads to ithe farmers of Huron an.c1 North Middlesex. was a necessity—a dire 11 11 the !, said I, Townships - 000,000 ---they haveb at nearly that figtir • b upon sucli ;U2.
