the Harlem, II according TO the report only about
ninety eight cents On the Albany aud SCHENECTADY
the cost OF running was eighty Eve cents per mill,
while the Troy aud Schenectady 1t about sixty
eight cents per mile. Horse power on railroads Is very
expensive and any company using that power to any
extent must use larger per cent Of ts receipts for
current expenses, than roads using none other but
steam poser. The cars of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company drawn about two miles by borss
poweri and 1t s estimated that this horse power costa
Tour and onethird cents per mile per passenger,
and seven cents pei ton per mile FOE freight. Now
when 1t is considered that about three quarters O,
