The population of Wisbeach was 12,000. There woo also

Ely to Huntingdon was 25 miles ' • that made ~°l3OO
Sire length of proposed line of 62i miles. Ittoler
proposed that both lines should be placed ,aJ,

the gradients were good, and it was a line on ttedto
such thing as tunnels would be thought of. With ,61
the trade at present, it was carried on by navigalcod
means of four rivers, the Cam, the Ouse, the IX AO,
Little Ouse. Now with regard to each, and several of 'V
