e Committee of Management of the Great Grimsby, Sheffield,
the Potteries, and Grand Junction Railway.
ntlemen,—ln answer to your inquiry, I am happy to be able to
a- nate that the plans, sections, and reference are in a very advanced
state, and are being done with very great care, so that I have no dotibt
whatever the requirements of the standing orders will be fully com-
plied with, and I hope to see your Billin Committee at an early period
of the session,
I may state that to-day I have received several lithographic sheets,
checked and printed off; and as the whole of the work is done in
the office, we have the most complete control of this ireportimt de.
partment.
In answer to your inquiry, as to the comparative nature of the
works between Sheffield and Buxton and those between Buxton cad
Leek, I have now perfect sections throughout, and my former
opinion is hilly confirmed, that the portion between Sheffield and
Buxton is not only very much lighter, but that it will consist
throughout (except the crossings of two narrow ravines) of works of
a moderate and ordinary character; the tunnelling, forinstance,ll
have been able to reduce to less than a mile and a quarter in
length, divided into three tunnels, all through favourable strata,
and the longest will not exceed three-quarters of a mile.
I am, Gentlemen, your very obedient servant,
JOHN FOWLER.
