In relation to the supply of Croton water
For some time past there has been more CrOton
water delivered in the reservoirs IN this CITY, and
distributed by mains throughout the city, than at

tite of water that is suffered by the to
run to waste the head of water in the higher parts

The Commissioner Of Public Works is using every
exertion in his power to stop this waste and If the
citizens generally will at once put stop to all
waste on their premises they will Immediately re-
store the head TO It's usual height and have ali the

Soon alter the gold discoveries the growth of our
railroad system became less irregular and partial
than before. The above facts Illustrate the won
derful stimulus which then impaired by the

how swiftly the advancing wave OF railroad
extension struck the most prominent sections OF
the country. The Atlantic States were the most
rapid In their material growth, and they received
the earliest impulse. After 1S49, in New England,
the railroad mileage doubled in twenty years; IN
the Middle States 1t doubled in eight years IN the
western States the mileage increased ten-iold III
nine years, and twenty-iold in twenty years; in

From the Railway Monitor, Jan. 1b.]
There is some disappointment with the work OF
railroad extension for the past year. We have
done less than was expected. We have built fewer
new roads than in the previous year. We can show
an increase OF but 1913 miles, against 1878 miles Of
new roads in 1871; 7,4s3 in 1870. The whole length
Of railroad is 7O.17s miles, while 43 600 miles
more are IN various stages Of incipiency, and will
make our network Of railroads, when finished,
$4,000 miles. SubjOined is statement of the mile
age OF the railroads In at the close OF last

The growth OF the network of iron roads in this
country was very backward till the gold discov
cries of1s4s At the close of that year we had less
than 5000 miles OF railroad. of which 1.276 were in
New England 1000 miles in the Middle and South
ern States and less than 700 miles in the Great
West. When the troubles of 1860 began the net
work OF railways had increased 1ve-lold. The
Western States had II, 900 miles, the Southern
States over 5000, the Middle States nearly 1000 and
New England $500. These 10000 miles had cost US
$1O7O, OOO. 900, more than One-tenth OF which per-
haps was foreign capital. The war did not stop our
railroad building, as was feared. The work was
only checked. In the second year of the war we
had added nearly 1000 miles to our railroad
network, and had laid out 500, 600 upon it, be-
sides the vast cost OF the war ITSELF At the close
Of 1885, the year of peace, our railroads had 49, 600
miles, and now they have length of nearly twice
as much, or 7O17s miles. Since the war; then, we
have built new railroads Of 900 miles length. This
is more than has been built in the whole OF Europe
In the same time. Had we no more than these
IS, 900 miles that have thus been made since the
war we should have a larger mileage of railroad
than Germany, Austria, France and Russia, with
their ITS, 900 Of people. This will be seen from
