capital, The road will cost, according to his es-

from City hall TO the upper end of the island
There are to be four tracks to each branch, two
for fast travelling stopping only every two miles,
and two for half-mile accommodation trains.
The time of the fast line will be twenty minutes

says the preliminary report of the engineer of
the Viaduct railway is. certainly encour-
aging enough to satisfy the public of the FEAST
bility of the road, and induce the directors

report removes all doubt of the possibility of
building such a road along the selected route.
The subscriptions have been liberal, and that of
S5,000,000 by the city has been secured accord
ing to law.
