road merely to exist, In all the history
Of railroading broad gauge railroads had
broken down from their own magnitude,
There were seven feet, and five and n half
feet roads, and the experience OF forty.
five years had proved them failures.
Even the standard railroads--i feet S!
inches-arc failures in six cases out Of
eight. In Russia the question has been
met squarely, and the Russian roads were
being cut down from five feet TO u three
and half feet gauge, and the result was
satisfactory in every sense, A main point
in the argument was that the narrow
gauge system would reduce the original
investment in railroad at least 10 per
cent, and its operation expenses as much
more,
In conclusion the speaker said
After the most thorough investigation
the three-ieet gauge has been adopted in
the United States. This secures the larg
est strength in the materials, ample mag.
nitude in the cars for all undividable
bulks and weights, and the beat average
utility of fire surface AND steam power in
the locomotives. In practice also these
roads are proved to yield speed equal
to all reasonables cOnditionsof commerce,
and in safety far excel the standard roads,
