Of the Second Auditor Of the State until the 2sth Of

The proposition to construct new railroad from
Scheme cady to Albany, will very commend itself
to the good judgment of all those who interested 10
the success of the central line and Of the Hudson
River railroad 1t Is we'll known that in order 20
ducs the grades upon the latter from seventeen to ten
Feet mile tina. the line along the river adopted
and very large increase Of cost incurred. This
increase of cost will be enough to construct the
line from Schenectady to Albany. Now, IL il we'll
known that in going east the present line rises upon
heavy grades to the top Of the high lands west Of
Albany. Thence 1t descends by grades varying In
amount from one hundred feet to the mile down to
thirty, to the terminus in Albany. OF course this
going hill is forever expensive matter 1t is
perpetual waste and fit be avoided 1t will be, so
soon as the Hudson River road approaches termna-
ton Property going eastward win not be lifted over
the hills between Schenectady aud Albany, uoless
there is q clear necessity for It. Obviously there
Is no need for this, because road easily be
made around the hills. The Mohawk river may
be followed TO the vicinity of Niskauna, and thence
q road may be made to the upper part Of Albany
or even above the city and may there connect
by bridge with the II udssn River railroad There
then will BE- pste connection without ascending
grades going east and the grades west lessened by
the num- of feet rise incurred In ndng
Schenectady by the present road If there Is to be
any connection made by the propretors Of the Utica
and Schenectady railroad with a railroad to taa Had-
river, they surely will seek such line will pro-
perly connect them with the Hudson River railroad
They viii not clog and embarrass their present road
with the uniting ton with the present road
between Schenectady and Albany. Though the ma
chiptry Of the planes dispensed WITH the rise is all
there yet and will remain there and forever limit the
value of the route, because Of the expense of the
grades. Whatever Albany may do or may desire. the
great interest OF the west aud Of the city of New York
will settle this matter right The competition Of the
Rrie railroad will draw attention closely to the i'm
provement Of the central line and the day viii
when there viii be rise going eastward from Lake
Erie.
In Whatever way the people of Albany may regard
this 1t will not be possible for that locality to keep
down this improve ment The rails of the central line
NUT be connected with those Of Riverra
road These who wish to stop at Albany may do so,
but those who wish to 60 direct to New York will
have that privilege. There be proper
nection between the present Mohawk road, and the
Hudson River railroad, and thiftfact, as well the
great loss In grades alluded to- win show every
that there must be q railroad between sche-
nectsdy and Albany.
