A Stupendous Railroad Enterprise


Senator Logan last week introduced
a bill to establish the Commercial Rail-
road Company, with capital of two
hundred millions, to construct and ope-
rate railroad with four or more tracks,
from New York city to the cities Of
Chicago and st. Louis, dividing its main
line at such point as may be found best
to reach these cities, with the right 10
extend its road to any point OIL the Mis-
sissippi river above St. Louis. The road
is to be commenced within two years,
and finished within twelve years of the
enactment Of the bill. The rates for
transporting passengers and freight are
to be fixed by commissioners composed
ofthree persons appointed by the Pres-
dent, one person by the Governor OF
each State through which the road shall
pass, and three persons by the corpora
ton. The charges are not TO exceed 10
cents per bushel for grain by the car.
load, and 36 cents per barrel for flour,
from Chicago or ST. Louis to Jersey
City. The measure is not likely to be
perfected during the present session.
