A CORRESPONDENT of the Cleveland
Herald furnishes the folio wing figures
relative TO the comparative cost OF
standard aud nsrrow-gauge railways
During the last fifty years tho cost Of
all broad.gauge railways and their
equipments 10 the United States is rep
resented by 9 capital account OF fully
$500 100000. Allowing one.Rft Of
this vast sun for Waterod 9 Ock aud
discount on bonds would reduce the
average cash cost to $4,000 per mile.
Since the introduction Of nsrrOR gauge
rail wAys in 1871 there has been expend.
ed In their construction aud equipment
not less than 5000, 100000 about equal.
~ divided between stock aud bOnds,
making an average cost Of not exceed
ing $4,000 per mile. or the total e1-
pendi ureS In the United States for
both systems OF rail ways fully one
tenth was expended In the State OF
Ohio. Since 1873 the building Of new
roads has been mostly confined TO the
narrow'guage system, both on account
Of tue great economy In construction
aud Of operation, as we'll as
capacity for transportation OF
freight and passengers. Indeed, many
OF these roads have been con.
structed where It would have been DIFF.
flcult, II not impossible, TO have seCur.
ed the capital to build even a light,
broad-gusge railway. The yearly in.
crease in the railway mileage during
the last decade has equslled the aver.
age increase ofpoPulation in the Union,
being now n mile Of railway for
every 572 people, with a nominal In
veslment OF 500 for each inhabltant."
