THE ERIE RAILWAY.
Captain Tyler's Report On the Condition of tho
Uniertr king-His Specification Of
Points Of Improvement.

LONDON, Oct. %, 1874
Captain Tyler has made his report on the con-
dition OF the Erie Railway. He says the road IN
doubtedly possesses great natural advantages,
but In order that Its resources may be properly de-
veloped several things are necessary, which he
specifies as ioIiows:-
Double track, with steel rails and durable sleep
ers, on the whole main line and some other Sec
tions.
Some Improvements in the gradients Of the road.
Fresh extensions and connections.
Change OF gauge indispensable.
Improved terminal arrangements TO provide
sufficient storage for Increased traflc.
Iron bridges to be substituted Tor wooden when
the latter require renewal.
Speculation In coal fields ana all other objects
should be avoided.
No outside rings should be permitted to carry
out any OF the above mentioned improvements.
Liberal expenditure is required, but the precise
amount TO be expended from time to time can
only be settled after most careful deiberation.
There Is probably no railway in the world which
would better repay such large expenditure than
this, II a really good management, supported BY a
stable constituency OF propretors, can be perma.
nently secured.
Captain Tyler recommends the organization OF q
strong committee In England to control arrange.
ments with regard to fresh capital and expend-
ture generally. The report strongly urges the
avoidance OF competition wherever pos
sible, and instances the four great railway
systems penetrating the Alleghanes, which are
carrying produce at maniiestly Improbable rates.
Investors are told TO make allowance TOR the de.
pressing effects OF last autumn's panic, and not
consider as normal the present years. tranic.
The connecting iine from Buffalo to Chicago is IN
an excellent condition.
The report enlarges on the advantages OF Q
Canadian connection via the international bridge
and concludes as follows 1--WE have freely pointed
out defects; but It is only lair to state
that the same rigid scrutiny Of the bes
OF our English railways would show
long list OF improvements ana expenditures ad
visabie. There Is no cause for despair, but much
reason to hope for the future OF Erie, II only undue
competition Is avoided and good management,
secured.n
