Mr. Thomas moved '6 amend Mr. Davis’ resolution by adding, «and that all committees heretofore appoimied on the subject of the proposed connection be, and the same are hereby discharged from the fare ther consideration of the same.” The amend- | Ment was discussed and agreed to, and the res >= lution, as amended, was adopted. [The Ratlroad Committee (consisting of the Mayor, Recorder, and Mr. Cragin, President of the Counci:) stated in their report that the intormation ob- tained by them betore ordering the survey of the Loudoun, Alexandria aud Hampshire Kail- Toad, was that there were three routes by which | this connection conld be made:—Ist.. By the | way of “Pimmet Kun,” crossing the Potomac | atthe “Littie Falls,” involving a connecting Toad of some eleven miles in length, and strik ing the L. and H Ratiroad at a point at lew twelve or thirteen miles above Alexandria. 2d.

The —_.-——— third route, if practicable, was to overcome the difficulty presented by the hills between the “Arlington House” and the “Alexandria Aqueduct,” and thence proceed to “Falls Cburch” or “Carla Springs.” To satisfy themselves of the practicability of this third Toute, and to save both time and money, the Committee ordered the preliminary survey by Mr. Brewer, before aliuded to. Upon the re- ceipt of Mr. Brewer's report, which was in substance that the hills could be crossed ata maximum grade of eizhty feet to the mile, as- cending westward, the Committee informed the President of the Alexandria, Loudon, and Hampshire railroad of their readiness to pro- ceed to work with the survey.
