*Grimy IMPORTANT INVENTION IN
RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION.
ptAnr„, imPortant INVENTION connected with the formation of the
tiv.enent way of railway lines (which has been proved on one of
te: Principal lines in Lancashire), is, for the satisfaction of the pa-
, and for confirmation of its adaptation for the purposes pro-
wu, undergoing the severest test as to form of construction and
r of strength for durability, which, when completed, a report
emi be Published of the result of the test by a scientific gentleman of
in 411enee. The invention will effect-1. A very considerable saving
e formation of the permanent way, by entirely superseding the
" Wood sleepers, loose chairs, treenails, and spikes. 2. The
Lung of the line can be accomplished iv a very diminished amount
of labour and cost in comparison wi• h the mode at present adopted.
fuirle future maintenance of the permanent way may be reduced
46,3: one-half of the present cost. A scientific report will be fur-
to*. ed in a few days, and the patentee has considered it desirable
adopt this expedient to intimate to railway boards somewhat of
the advantages of the invention, that railway companies about to
Contract for sleepers, chairs, &c., may defer such arrangements for
short period.
