1HOUSE RESOLUTION

2 WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of 

3Representatives wish to congratulate Mayor Harry "Andy" Ezard 

4and the citizens of Jacksonville on the occasion of its 200th 

5anniversary; and

2 WHEREAS, In the early years, transportation was a common

4Northern Cross Railroad, the first railroad in Illinois, in 

51840, and its connection to Springfield two years later
