tiIGLILY IMPORTANT IN VEN rION IN
RAILS AY CONSTRUC lON.
Pt important INVENTION connected with the formation of the
the Rent Way of railway lines (which has been proved on one of
itt4incipal lines in Lancashire), is, for the satisfaction of the pa-
Ilest.4 and for confirmation of its adaptation for the purposes pro-
sa undergoing the severest test as to form of construction and
Rill of strength for durability, which, when completed, a report
erw_ue Pnblished of the result of the test by a scientific gentleman of
Xence. The invention will effect-1. A very considerable saving
48:oe formation of the permanent way, by entirely superseding the
Wood- sleepers, loose chairs, treenalls, and spikes. 2. The
3f labour
of the line can be accomplished a• a very diminished amount
~%abotir and cost in comparison wi. h the mode at present adopted.
trap-Ine future maintenance of the permanent way may be reduced
one•half of the present cost. A scientific report will be fur-
ta".,,"ed in a few days, and the patentee has considered it desirable
Opt this expedient to intimate to railway boards somewhat of
° advantages of the invention, that railway companies about to
eotitract for sleepers, chairs, &c., may defer such arrangements for
short period.
