KNOX AND LINCOLN RAILROAD.

The towns on the line of the Knox and
Lincoln Railroad are considering the ques-
ton of giving further aid to complete that
enterprise. The cost of the road has ex-
ceeded the expectations of the builders.
1t was said at the start that it could be
built for thirty thousand dollars per mile,
but it appears that twice that sum will be
necessary. Allowing that the money used
has been honestly expended, of which we
believe there is no doubt, somebody must
have Numbered widely in the calculations
about the cost of construction. This,
however, is no new thing in the building
of railroads, no m ore than in building
houses or barns. The cost almost invari-
ably exceeds the estimates, though seldom
SO largely as in this instance
1t is now quite plain to everybody who
knows anything of the section of country
through which this road passes that it must
be difficult and expensive road to build.
They knew that as well before undertake
ing 1t as now. but in their anxiety to OBJ
tain the road. the stockholders We're will
ing to overlook the difficulties of the
country, and 10 believe that somehow the
streams and marshes could be bridged,
the valleys raised, and the solid ledge be
removed, at about the cost Of building a
road in an ordinary fair chance. 1t is said
the survey and location might have been
better; perhaps they might, but no survey
could avoid bridging where streams had
to be crossed, or remove hills and lodges
that stand across the inevitable course Of
road. That there should be some fault
finding at the expense of the road is not
surprising. The President and Directors
OF the Company must of course bear ii
good share of the blame. 1t is probable,
however, that they have done the best they
could, yet to build the road at the esti-
mates was an impossibility, and to under
take 1t was perhaps their greatest error
Just like the other stockholders. they
hoped it could be done. aud allowed their
wishes to deceive their better Judgment
The only course which the towns can
now pursue is to 90 forward and raise the
means to finish the road, Hating is worse
than going ahead. Interest is accumula-
ting whether the road is finished or NOT
Complete the road and as soon as it is in
operation its earnings will pay the inter
est. Every days delay in the construction
is a positive loss. Before the road was
commenced committees and towns might
deliberate as long as they pleased, and
fault finders might raise objections, with
out cost. but they cannot afford to hesitate
and grumble now under the expense
which is upon them. Fortunately the
towns aud cities connected with this road
are abundantly able TO build it even
