At a preliminary meeting of those interested in the proposed railroad, held at Samuel Osborn’s office, in Edgartown, on Tuesday evening last, the necessary officers were chosen to effect an organization. The gentlemen present were all harmonious in their opinions, and there was but one expression in reference to the contemplated undertaking. The road will be built, if every dollar of the stock has to be taken on the island; at least, this seemed to be taken on the island; at least, this seemed to be the determination of those present, and as most of them are men of means, energy and unflagging enterprise, and thoroughly convinced of the benefits to be derived from the road, we cannot for a moment doubt that this most desirable result is assured.
Mr. Lemuel T.
