pearing however, that the narrow gauge g
feeD is the most desirable and economical
both to build and run, it was deemed ad-
visable to have another survey made with
view to the construction of the proposed rail-
way upon the three foot gauge at a much less
expense. 1t was also thought that more
direct line from Kings Mills to the city of
Augusta would present inducements and ad-
vantages that would give frmer basis to the
project. Those who were present considered
the plan exhibited a very feasible one, and
one which it would be to the present advan-
tage of Augusta to be carried out.
