The following,frepo'rr ,en'adibYthe engineers appointed
by the Government of c'''Ciiada, shows .the state of pro-
gress of the works on the lseof February last...
4 " Toronto, April 10, 1856
/P Sir--We have the bdnbur to t'aCquaint you, for the
information of his Excellaicy the Governor° deneral,
that on the 7th of last month we met at the office of the
depart:ment of public works in this city, in coinplience
with the request of the commissioners, that We sh4uld
Proceed, with the least possible delay, to enternpon,the
duties connected with the office. Keieerich his excellency
had been pleased to appoint us, intkoixing a general Oxa-
mination of the,line of the Grand Trunk Railway in Our-
suance of the 4th sub-section of he first clause of 'the
:statute of, 18' Vie., c. 174. Having consulted and!ar-
ranged with Mr. Killaly as to the course to be adopted:
that.would most facilitate the procuring of the neces-
sary information, and acquiring a knowledge of the de-
tails, we adjourned to the office of the contractors, where
a room was at or ce.placed at our command for our meet-
ings, and the },laps, sections, specifications, monthly 03.
timates, contracts, and other documents, showing the
state and progress of the works, were unreservedly laid
befere us. Knowing the desire of Government to, have
our report end estimate as soon as practicable we have
laboured assiduously, and are now enabled to Pub
the result of our examinations. ' From the documents
above adverted to, and the data furnished us by the chef
engineer of the company, we proCeeded, in the first in-
stance, to form an estimate of the cost of completing and
equipping the line from this city to Brockville, being
the portion to.which our attention i:vas more perticulaely
directed by our letter of instruction from the commis-,
sioners. From these dato,!which we give in detail—the
quantities of work of all classes, including station aad
other buildings remaining to be done on theist of Fel).
ruary last, calculated, at liberal rates—it appears tht
rn
the'coat of cop'hziting the line from Toronto:tee' Broc
vine,k-
exclusive of rolling stock and contingencies, wont I
' 292,392/. Gs. 6d, sterling Halifax Compary
at that date.
.: Having concluded these calculations our next step
was to proceed to Montreal to inspect the rolling stonk
finished and in progress, and then to return along the
line, in order to judge, rom pereonal inspection, of the
character of the several works, and the manner in which
they Have been executed ; and also by seeing t'le actuil
date of the excavations, embankment., and other works,
and comparing it with the. sections furnished us en
which the estimate of completion is based, to be enabled
to determine how far they were safely to be relied on.
At Montreal we devoted three days to a careful inspec-
tion of the depot grounds and buildings, which are con-
structed in a most creditable and substantial manner,
and which, when fully competed, will be found sec )nd
to none that we have seen on this continent. The se-
veral workshops are admirably erovided, and every
means and appliance are at hand to turn out a large
amount of work of the best description. To the roll,
nig stock we also gave the attention which so im-
portant a branch of railway work demands. The result
of our scrutiny was highly satisfactory both in regard to
style of construction and the suitableness of the mate-
rials. After taking inte account the amount of rolling
stock, finished and unfinished, and the value of materials
prepared, we estimate the amount required to equip the
line from Toronto to Brockville, as required by contract,
at 65,8351. 12e. 4d. sterling. It is to be observed that
we have given the company no credit for a large amount:
of rolling stock-22 locomotive engines—stated now to
be on its way from England.
Having concluded our surveys in Montreal we re-
turned-to Brockville by rail, and then followed the line
to Toronto; and, having devoted six days to this part of
the road, and inspected all the important point., and
compared the state of the work on the g ron n d with that
shown on the working sections, we are satisfied that the
latter truly represent the progress of the work, and that
ihe measurements derived therefrom on which the esti-
mate is based may be relied upon. In the foregoing
it is shown that we estimate the cost of c )inpleting the
works and buildings of the line from Toronto to Brock-
ville at 293,302/. 6s. 6d. ; add for contingencies and
interest on this sum 10 per cent., 29,838/. 18s. ld.; also
to complete rolling stock on the same portion. 65,835/.
12s. 4d. ; total cost of completing line from Toronto to
Brockville, 394,0661. 16s. 11d. With a view to esti-
mating the cost of completing that porti,n of the road
west of Toronto, so far as the provisions of the act 8
Vic., c. 174, extend, namely, to Stratford, we called
for documents and vouchers connected with it, similar
to those furnished for that portion from Toronto to
Brockville, and from them we gather that the elmple-
tion of the works of the section from Toronto to Strat•
ford will require the sum of 27,6841. 13s. 2d. ; and for
contingencies, 2,7681. 4s. sd. ; total, 30,452/. 17s. 7d.
Although we have not had an opportunity of person-
ally examining this portion of the railway and comparing
its state, as shown on the sections from which the esti-
mate is formed, with the works themselves, yet from the
satisfactory verification of the result of our caloulationsi,
coupled with the fact of Mr. Kil/a.ly's having lately made
an inspection of it, and being satisfied with the correct-
ness of the documents, we have no doubt but that this
estimate for its completion may be relied on. In order
to arrive at the whole cost of fully completing and
equipping the road from Stratford to Brockville, it is
necessary further to aid a sum for the portion of it in
front of this city. Assuming this to be 10,0001. for the
graded track to be furnished by the city, and 5,0001. for
the permanent way laid, :the estimate for the entire line
will be :—Toronto to Brockville, 394,06 G/. 16s. 11d. ;
Toronto to Stratford, 30.4521.175. 7d.; in front of the
city of Toronto, 12,3281. 15e. 4d.—Total, 436,8481. 9s.
7d.

In conclusion, we feel it our duty to state for the in-
formation of his Excellency, that in our opinion the
works on this portion of the line, so far as they have pro-
gressed, are in accordance with the terms of the contract
and specification ; that the bridges, viaducts, and import-
ant station buildings are constructed in the most perma-
nent and substantial manner, and that the preparation
which has been made, and the amount of materials pro-
vided, evince the intention of the contractors to finish
the road in a style creditable to them and the province.
—We are, sir, your obedient servants,
ROSWELL G. BENEDICT.

of Public Works, Toronto.
The undersigned was a party to and engaged with
Messrs. Benedict and Strut in the several calculations
and estimates referred to in the foregoing, in the correct-
ness of the entire of which he fully believes. He did not
accompany those gentlemen along the works between
Toronto and Brockville, being otherwise much engaged,
and having but a short time before made a very close
inspection of them. He entertains strongly the same
opinions as to the character of the works as those ex-
pressed by Messrs. Benedict and Strut. The portion of
the line from Toronto to Stratford he has likewise had a
late opportunity of visiting, and he had no doubt of the
correctness of the estimate for the consplction of that
section also ; the works of which are not to be surpassed
for sound and durable construction.

March and April the amount of work done has been
120,2551. Only 316,590/. will be required from the latter
date for the completion cif the line from St. Mary's in
the west to St. Thomas', 40 miles below Quebec, and
likewise to Portland in the state of Maine. The total
length of these lines will be 862 miles."
