RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

BOMBAY, BARODA, AND CENTRAL INDIA.

The report of the directors states that the extent
of line open for traffic at the commencement of the
half-year consisted of 132 t miles from Bulsar to
Dolia. On the 3d September last a further portion
of 34-1 miles, from Dolia to Mehmoodabad, was
opened, making a total lengfh of 1971 miles of line
open for traffic. This last portion included the
INThyo Viaduct, a work of considerable magnitude
and importance. The works on the remaining 18
miles to Ahmedabad (the northern extremity of the
line) were so nearly finished when the last advices
were despatched from India that an engine had run
within half a mile of that place, and there was little
doubt that the additional mileage was now onen for
traffic. Great progress had been made in the works
south of Bulsar, including the impotiant bridges
over the Veturnee and Bassein rivers. The complete
opening to the north would enable those works to
be carried on with increased activity. It was hoped
the line would be opened to Dhanoo in the ensuing
spring, and to Bombay in the summer or autumn,
so as to make the railway available at the earliest
practicable period for the transport of cotton and
other goods from the northern districts to the ship-
ping wharves of Bombay. The accounts from India
continued to assure the directors that upon the
opening of the line throughout, a very large stream
of traffic would flow over it, which the extremely
favourable gradients would admit of being carried
at a very reasonable cost. The importance of this
consideration could hardly be exaggerated. The
Indian Tramway Company were proposing among
the first of their works to connect a district rich in
cotton and other produce with the main line of this
railway. It was deemed necessary to make provi-
sion for the issue of fresh share capital to the extent
of £1,000,000, and the sanction of the Secretary of
State for India in Council had been obtained for
that issue, guaranteeing interest thereon at the rate
of 5 per cent. per annum. The capital had been
taken up, and the calls would be made as the exi-
gencies of the company might require. The total
receipts for the half-year ending 30th June last, on
132 i miles, amounted to £25,208, or £l9 per mile,
including £17,709 for nassengers, and £7,499 for
goods.
