conclude with the following statement of the actual

be opened Of the line by Crenona Brcsca Messna and
Catsnia the completion of tie Arema and Ferrara and
Rovigo line which includes temporary bridge over the
Pc Within very few weeks perhaps in month, the
capital of Italy will be connected by railway the one
side with Rome and Naples and the other with We
META and the Frioul Thus the railway traffic of the Ita
ian peninsula will become systematzed having for its
basis two principal lines without inteuuption-the one
600 miles long Will from Udine 10 Naples by way Of
Padra Ferrara Podetta Arezzo, Fogno and Rome, and
will at the Bologna stations the other line 675 miles
long and which already unes Suza with Lecce by way OF
Turin Alexandria Piacenza, hodens, Rimni, Ancona,

question of revision and modification in the railway
tariff is under consideration with view to its adoption
when the above lines shall all be opened.
