perdilures for the pay ofoicers and engineers, and
the necessary expenses attending the office and
surveys is SPA 500 TO the first OF July.
The board have, we are told, made no efforts
TO increase the individual subscriptions, thinking
il well TO await the result Of the applications TO
Congress and the city of Washington
The board expect a subscription Of at least half
million Of dollars from the corporation of Wash
ington as ii is fully expected this city will re-
ceive three-!ourths Of the benefits to be derived
from the construction Of the road, principally from
the great increase oftravel to the seat Of govern
ment." They viii have to wait with patience
until the corporation ventures on the scheme 10
this extent TO say the least.
There is little hope for the construction Of the
road in the concluding paragraph Of the repor, /;
for the board have only TO say that without lib
eral subscription from the city Of Washington it
would not be at all advisable 10 commence the
work of construction, and beyond that much more
will be required from other sources to insure the
