wRfrrES ron THE VERMONT PBGSix
WEST RIyBR TR.sDR.

We have seen very careful estimate
Of the number of men and horses engaged
in freighting and staging up the valley of
West river. According to this estimate,
the number of men employed is fifteen,
and of horses seventy-one. At the rate of
five hundred dollars n year for wages to
each man, the total amount would be 81, 500.
For keeping the horses, wear and tear of
carriage and harness, loss, etc., Mr.. Stone
allows Eve dollars per week for each horse;
or, for the whole seventy-one SIS, 400 year.
Hence, the total cost of the freight and
stage business up West river valley for one
year is estimated at s25,060. This does not
include incidental and occasional business,
which gives employment TO greater or
loss number of mon and horses during
portions of the year.
Let us suppose that the cost of a thirty
mile railroad, complete, in running order,
would be 100000 The interest on this
at five per cent, the rate now paid by the
United States, would be S5i, 900 year and
the cost Of running the road, one train each
way per day, would be sl3,l46 Total cost
Of the road yearly s67, JAG. If from this
sum We subtract the absolute expenses of
the freightage as now carried on, we have
an additional yearly charge on the railroad
Of S4l, Jag.
The only question is whether the addi-
tional business developed by the railroad
would meet this additional expense OF
some 100000 That's question that must
he settled before the road can be undertake
en-, as local enterprise, unconnected with
the Great Lake Basin. We must meet the
matter in the face and know how we stand;
and the more we know about il the better.
II the business of the valley should be-
come three times what it is now, any cap
italist, whether European or American,
would find it a better investment than U.
S. bonds at five per cent.
The increase of business occasioned by
the railroad would be made up partly of
merchants freight for wider range CT
country stores, partly from a new stimu-
lus to numbering and quarrying, and part
~ from an increase of manufacturing.
There is no healthier, prettier village, or a
more favorable sight for manufacturing,
everything considered, than East Towns
bend. All it needs is easy communication
with market. Com.
