Major Morrel an experienced Engineer, writes
thus in the Courier and Enquirer in relation to
the Erie Road
Recently there has been much said, in quarters
interested in depreciating the value OF Erie Hsll
road stock, in relation to route through New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania, connecting with the New
York and Erie at some point on the Susquehanna,
which shall shorten the distance from this city to
the point Of connection nearly one hundred miles
To those who know anything oil the topography OF
the intervening country 1t is needless 70 say, that
no such route exists aud especially none by the
route designated by these parties as by hat route
an air line connecting points between which they
claim that the greatest saving in distance is to be
effected, is longer, by scores Of miles than set
down by them. The truth is, there is no practics'
bic route from this city to Lake Erie, connecting
with the Erie Road, that can reduce the distance
more LDhu twenty mllcSj anu All VI bhCSO AOubOS
are TO be constituted by combination Of a number
of roads of higher grades than the ~ York and Erie
and having a width Of gauge unsuired to the New
York and Erie cars, and their management under
several distinct corporations while the New ork
and Erie road will present continuous track, OF
Uniform guage, under one management-a differ
ence more than sufficient to compensate, both in
time and in money, for any saving that can posi-.
bly, be effected in distance by the aggregation OF
the several roads that have been paraded before
the public, to frighten the holders OF the New
York and Erie stock and securities into a sacrifice
Of their property.
