Reminiscing tjie other day, Mr. Dolan said that 58 years ago, Sunday, April 19, Major George Bill and Thomas Dalton of Portage, Wise., railroad contractors, arrived in Syracuse with a force of meh and teams to begin ejanstruction on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. They had the contract, he said, from the railroad bridge on Lake Wawasee to Gravelton, a distance of about eight miles.
