CLEVELAND NEWSPAPER DIGEST JAN. 1 TO DEC. 31, 1838
Abstracts 2105 - 2111
RAILROADS (Cont'd)
"What are we doing to secure to our city the immense advantages of
a direct and feasible communication with Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and
Baltimore? Is the project of a Rail Road abandoned? Who will say a
word on the subject and rouse the public to action?" (7)
2105 • H&G Nov. 6; ed:2/2 • What is doing, or what has been done towards
making a Pittsburgh and Cleveland railroad? Is all interest in the subject
lost? The project abandoned? What can be, must be done. Would
not a railroad to Pittsburgh and Philadelphia be a great convenience, as
well as vastly beneficial to the business interests of Cleveland and the
whole west bordering on the lake? What says the west?
If Cleveland continues to neglect her true interests in regard to a
commencement of the Pittsburgh road, Erie will win. (12)
2106 • H&G Dec. 26: 2/5 • In a letter to the editor, "Cleveland" says:
The importance of the construction of the Ohio railroad has not been
sufficiently estimated by the citizens along the lake, and especially
of this city. To us it is a work of much importance, for whatever improvement
has a tendency to bring and concentrate business here, increases
the value of property, furnishes greater facilities of trade,
opens the way to competition, accumulates wealth, and adds much to the
number of our population.
The company is now cutting the road through the Black Swamp, the impassable
barrier to all travelers. The charter of the Ohio railroad is
one of the best in the state. This work is well worthy of the attention
of business men and capitalists. It is one which will be prosecuted
and completed. (10)
