| Work on Me W. Md. r. R.-The
Hagerstown Maa, Of last week says =
From gentlemen connected with the
Western Maryland Railroad, as well as
from citizens of Washington county
living in the vicinity we learn that
operations on this railroad could not
possibly be pressed with more energy
than they are no@ being pressed by
contractors between Mechaniestown aud
Hagerstown. On this side Of the South
Mountain the truck is quite ready for
ballast and ties, and only small amount
Of work is needed on the Antietam
bridge. IL is ouly on the summit see.
ton Of mile that much labor is re-
quired to be performed, and on this
section, We are gratifed to learn, every
available foot oil ground which can be
filled BY workman is occupied. As
soon as that section shall have been
finished the laying Of the ties and rails
will commence, the object Of the com.
pany being to realize as soon as possible
interest on the money which has been
so long lying idly invested between
Hagerstown aud Mechanicstown. At
the same time it would not be judicious
or business like to make a further in.
vestment in rails or ties, paying for
them in bonds bearing interest from
date, before those rails and ties are alb.
solutely required for use. Every ar.
rangement has, however, been made to
proceed with the laying Of the track
whenever it shall be necessary to do SO,
without incuring any delay in the open.
