The Second-StOry Railroad.
President Hilton laid before the Exec

yesterday views of engineers of the
Board on various interesting matters con-

completed. They decided against ex-
tending the main trunk TO the Battery, but
recommended the construction of a
branch road TO South Ferry, with de-
pot at Wall or Pine street, provided the
downtown merchants are willing to sub
scribe the necessary capital. The survey
! ing of the main stem is almost completed.
The report removes all doubt of the
possibility of building such a road.

income from the Eastern branch is esi-
mated at nine million five hundred thouS
