eues the same direction from thence to it,
northern terminus a. the western line; dis
tance 80 milSA
That the eteep grade, now $50 feet per
mile, on the N. d n. K X. over the Daven.
port bluff. may not Be prsjudicial to the me-
chanical capacity Of either route, it 10 pro-
posed TO reduce the grade to IS # per mile,
the cost Of which is included in the ss'i
mates Of section No 2; namely. that Of the
eastern line 10 estimated for half the coet Of
double track. for road bed; and the vest
ern line, same section, is estimated for half
Of . single track; whole cost bling appor-
toned between the n. A N. X. II. and the
b. 4 G. v. r. r. .
The starting point % Front street near
Main. has been selected - being . suitable
and convenient location for passenger depot,
having ample space for that purpose .
freight depot should be located ct . point
further vest in the city. whore more roosn
can be obtsined for aide tracks and the nee.
essary buildings
Besides the two main lines above dee-
cribed, another route OF about miles in
length was surveyed ct the Northern June
tion, and designated a. the Western revis-
ion, with view Of shortening the distance.
but the increased heavy work and curva.
ture. With steep grades encountered near
Lizard Creek. would not warrant its adop-
tion il has therefore been excluded from
the estimates.
In considering the merits Of these
two routes l do not find any material
difference between them 10 an engineering
point Of view, as can be seen on reference
to the table of grades and curves attached
to this report, both are fully adequate to
the usual requirements of spe d and heavy
freghts. They must then be considered only
in their commercial and financial relations.

Wheatiand, and Hay be given to the point
affording us u.ost material aid towards the
construction of that portion lying in Gin
ton county. the separate estimate for
winch amounts CO Ss5.2OO for q length Of
miles and S-lO including road bed and
sup rstructure DC.
FROM this point we will command the
traffic north and west including portions Of
Chnton. Cedar, Jones and Jackson counties.
The distance from London to Clinton be-
ing 40 miles and 10 Davenport 80 miles,
gives US the advantage Of miles in distance
besides the advantages We rossess in grades
and curvature. davenport is the best mar
