will be found quite interesting
The change OF gauge from broad to narrow on the
Ohio and Mississippi road not only makes That ROAD
part of different system from that to which 1t mas
hitherto belonged, but brings the Marietta ana Gin

into the position OF an Integral part OF an east ans,

these circumstances 1t was aided by the Balti'

yesterday the track OF tne main line OF. the Onl0

The attention OF the engineers has also been given
TO the subject OF connecting the lower part OF the
city with The trunk line OF viaduct near the City
Ball, by or more branch lines as authorized by
section twelve OF the charter OF the company, and
also to the subject OF encrcling the business part OF
tne city with an elevated or yaduct railway, along
the projected line Of new bulkheads as soon as they
may be completed, and connecting them with the
track or main line OF viaduct at the principal
STATIONS, as by such means all persons arriving In
the city by ferries steamboats, could Immediately
and without crossing South street be transferred TO
the man lines.
The engineers after full consideration of the sub
ject aid not consider 1t eXpedient proper TO eX.
tend the main trunk line below the City Hall, be-
below tnat point must certain, be SO much less than
above 1t that 1t would not be remunerative to run
all trains the lower OF the city; but they have
considered the propriety OF constructing
A BRANCH ROAD
from the depot near the City Hall in direct line to
the Battery, near the South ferry, and have estma-
ted that u twO-track road occupying not more Than
twenty-five feet width with cars propelled Ny steam
power at the rate OF about twenty miles per hour,
and making stoppages In each direction in the VI
cnty OF Pine street Wall street, could be built
simultaneously with the trunk line, anu be sufficient
for the accommodation or the middle part Of the
city below the PARK and new Post ONCE, because no
such distance would then be more than one fifth Of
a mile from depot
Tie expense Of constructing such line would be
great, AS II would unav0idaby have TO through
very valuable property and the engineers are
doubtful II 1t would be remunerative in SO high a
degree as either the Easlery or Westerly ViaduoJ
above the City Hall.
The powers OF me company under It's charter,
seem to be ample for the construction and operation
OF SUCH branch vaduct in connection with the
trunk lines and Tor the entire separation OF the cost
of 1t and Its earnings and profits; and If citizens
and prop rty owners In the district to be benefited
by such branch are desirous and willing to sub.
scribe The necessary capital Tor ITS construction there
does not appear to be any valid reason against Its
being built at the same time with the eastevn
branch OF the road as contemplated.
