Mr. BRONSON, of Pennsylvania, will be in Naples next week to look over the ground from Naples to Bloods with reference to the immediate construction of a narrow gauge railroad between those points. In his correspondence with J. L. MONIER, of Naples, who is interesting himself in this matter, Mr. BRONSON states positively that if the right of way can be secured and reasonable assistance be guaranteed him, by the committees most interested, he will construct the road without delay. Mr. MONIER has already secured right of way for half the distance. It is proposed to follow what is known as the Celpot creek from the salt well to its source, making an easy grade to the Bloods level. Many believe that a road connecting Naples with Bloods would be more desirable than the much-talked-of connection with Stanley on the Northern Central. Mr. BRONSON is a railroad man and had every facility for doing the work. **** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS
