Rensselaer Union, Volume 1, Number 29, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 April 1869 — A Railroad. [ARTICLE]

A Railroad.

The citizens of Delphi are moving in the matter of building a railroad from Indianapolis via Frankfort, Delphi, Rensselaer and Crown Point, to Chicago. A meeting was held at Delphi on last Saturday, wh.oli probably took measures to attain the end desired. The line of the proposed route would pass through Rensselaer and iri a north-westerly direction thro’ Jasper county. No county on the line of the proposed road would be henefitted to so great an extent as Jasper. On this line nrc thousands of acres of wild lands which would be brought into cultivation in a very short time, much of it would be improved immediately, thereby at once increasing the amount of taxables, if this road whs built. Rensselaer, how a little village of less than one thousand inhabitants, would rise to the dignity of a first class town; business of all kinds would increase from one hundred to live itnndred per emit.; property now almost worthless, woukl find reaejy sale at fine margins; and not only would property in town and country be increased in value, but all the products of the farm and the industry of mechanics would find an excellent market right at their own doors. We now pay from twentylive to fifty per cent, more on importations and receive from twen-ty-five to fifty per cent, ’.css for our exports, making a dfi’erence of from liftv to one hundred per emit, to our disadvantage, than is paid and received by" ftrose living along the lines of the thoroughfares connecting the great centers of trade. Hut there is little use enumerating the advantages that would accrue to the people ol Jasper county it we had a railroad, tor they are known and acknowledged Ivy everybody, all that as now wanting to j secure the hearty co-operation of the people in this enterprise is the certainty that its projectors are acting in good faith. The citizens ol Delphi appear confident this road can be built if the people along the proposed line j only take hold of the matter with J energy and promptly do their part. Will not tome -otto take the load in this matter, call a public meeting or in some other tuaimcj ascertain the feeling of the people, and assure the counties east of us that Jasper is ready to second all earnest endeavors looking to the pro- j posed result? Wc know that repeated disap-1 poiutments have rendered our poo- j pie cautious on the subject of rail- j roads, and it will bo no easy mat- j ter to get them to grade a road j across the county again, as they did eight or nine years ago, with- ; .out some security that they will have payment for their labor; but if a company can be organized that can insure an operating road to, or, through the county seat, there will be ;ui iiitri tn.adc" payable when the road is in funning order to this place, to defray the expense of grading and tieing it through the county. irsZT'T’io attention of flic public is called to the card of 11. Petit in to-day’s Union. Mr. Petit is the best Jparlier wc have ever had at Rensselaer, and wo trust he will receive sufficient patronage to enable him to be a permanent institution of the place.
