I look occasion to make inquiries into the par
Siculars Of this omnibus enterprise and we then OBJ
1ained many of the facts we have herein lated
SGeorgetown has been (and very appropriately, al
Eve think) selected the headquarters of this
/ great business concern. The old corporation to-
bacce warehouse, an immense brick building, has
sbeen purchased by the firm for 900, less proba-
sby than the bricks would sell for if separated FRONT
5he mortar. The stalls, &C., in of construc
stion, will cost 5; 800 more. About one hundred
shorscs have at this time TO be provided for. The|
capital now invested in the line is in the neighbor
shood of $4,000 The investment of so much capi-|
stal and the annual expenditures Of the company at
3Georgetown, cannot but prove beneficial to that
solace. We would DC nothing 10th enjoy il all in
Jur city; yet the worst wish have for neigh
bora the subject il, that the benefits were enl
times greater.
