CRY kAttRoAp. Mr.. Thomas Motley has shown us
the model Of city railroad Of his invention which ap
pears TO be excellent pan and much cheaper than the
roads in use at the North where the rails constructed
entirely Of iron He thus describes it: "
The plan proposed is TO adopt grocved wrought iron
rails drawn in the form Of letter u in which groove the
wheels OF the cars travel These rails inserted In Ion
guinal timber to be flush with the surface Of the
road and thus there is obstruction to ordinary car
riages The of such ways win not exceed one half
of ordinary railroads, will afford much smoother motion
and be more durable
The plan has been adopted In Paris most successfully
Such is the lowness Of charge owing to its cheapnes
that the average fare for passengers does not exceed one
cent per mile To obvate the obstacle Of dust gravel
&C. Mr. NJ proposes ax to the front Of the car two
fenders in which suitable brush is to be inserted made
of wire or other elastic material and thus the groove is
cleared the proceeds.
