The Effects Of Railroads upon Real
Property.

EHOYCtly'
In estimating the value of projected
Railroads and Railroad stocks, few per-
sons look at the inevitable changes pro-
duced in the condition and in the value
Of property through which road may
pass. The immediate and the eventful
results in the simple value ofproperty are
such as fully to reimburse State for the
outlay IN construction. Massachusetts
owes to its Western Railroad the great
changes that have taken place through
out the whole line ofthe Road, and more
especially at its terminus. Boston.
This increase is not confined to the
mere termini, but to all towns and villa
ges within the range of the Road. The
population of Massachusetts, so very
sluggish for many years, as regards in
crease, mas received an impetus from its
Railroads which is more than commensu-
rate with the enhanced value ofproperty.
Thus in some of the small towns in that
State, their census returns show the fol-
lowing rapid changes between 1S4O and
1s45, (only FIVE years. in their popula-
ton:
Roxbury 67 per cent Lowell 38 per cent
Brookline so Worcester So :"
Cambridge 80 Springfield SO "
Chelsea 1913 Fall River 81
Itmay be said that every farm, every
acre, through which Railroad passes is
enhanced in value thereby at least one
dollar per acre. The following remarks
are extremely pertinent to the subject
and are worthy careful consideration
Similar remarks might be written for our
own latitude-Maryland. If the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad we're now finish
ed, there is little question that the en-
hanced value of property throughout the
line would be "three times the cost of thu
road"-to say nothing of the increased
business that would be derived direct,
by our Baltimore merchants. In tina
event the number ofpassengers from thu
Ohio to Baltimore would no doubt aver
age 1000 per day throughout the year
provided the company adopted the mini
mum rates offare. Baltimore itself woul,
derive much larger revHue from tn
Road than the Railroad company itsel
