According to the returns made 70 the Legislature
of Massachusetts in March last, the length OF rail
ronds at that time open and in daily operation, was
l,l7OI miles, the aggregate cost OF which was S53,
957,3l0, allowing an average cost including build
ings, appartenances and equip nenta of s45243 per
mile Of this extent Of railroad, 267l miles only
consist of double track. The rest consists OF
single track, but throughout, the whole locomotive
trains both for passengers and freight, run With
nearly the same regularity, and with very little II
creased hazard of interruption, as on those roads
which consist of doable track. In England the
roads consist mostly OF double track, and this &C
counta part for the greater cost The extent and
cost OF British railroads above stated, embraces all
the rail avs In operation at the time stated in the
United Kingdom.
Comparing therefore, the extent and cost of rail.
roads in each country, with its extent c territory,
and number of inhabitants, Massachusetts has
more than e mile of railroad in operation for every
seven square miles of territory, and for every
eight hundred and fifty inhabitants in the State.
In England the proportion of railroad ia not equal
to one milo of road for eight square miles of terri
tory nor mile ofraroad for every $500 lnha5l-
tantB
If we compare the coat of the works OF the Two
countries with the population, it appears that The
coat of the Massachusetts roads s equal TO S55 so
for each inhabitant, as shown by the new censuE
and the cost OF the worn OF the United Kingdom,
is equal to $62 for each nhabiteut Of Eng und, sup
posing the present population to be, as it doubtless
is, something over 1900 000
If we compare the degree OF accommodation af
forded by the railroads OF the t1o countriea by the
actual use which has been mede of them, in pro
portion to the number of inhabitants, we lind that
In Massachusetts, the number OF travellers in l849,
vas over eight millions for nearly million Of IN
habtauts OF the State, making an average OF eight
journeys by railroad to evary person resdentn the
State aud that there were thousand railroad
travellers in the year. for every square mile OF ter
rtory. On the railroads. q the United Kingdom the
whole number Of passengers 10 l849 was 6Ssil 600,
which, if divided by the population of England
alone, say 100000, gives average OF less than
four railway travellers to each innabitant; and
1850 travelera for every square mile OF its densey
peoped territory.
