-Millheimers are now talking about
having horse cars from Coburn station TO
their towns With iron bars spiked on
wooden rails, as in the early days Of rail-
reading, this might do. These irSn bars
were and inch thick, and q iC Il inch
es vide, and it could be construcisd for
about 5000 per mile, distance y miles
total $1,000. Two cars. one for freight
and one for passengers. would do The
traffic, and might cost S5OOO-iotal Sls,OOC
for roadbed and rolling stock. Interest
on this at per cent, would ho SlOeO !
wear and tear, annual average 8 per cent
$40 four men TO ran horse cars, would
cost at least $500 per year. four horses
$50; feed &c, 500. This would require
the road to earn 1870 10 pay interest or
construction and expenses for running
road annually, without yet leaving profit
TO stockholders. which should be at leas
G per cent. additional to leave them faiI
proft-or in other words, the gross receipts
should be about 5000 per year 10 pay
operating expenses and leave a fair prod
10 the stockholders. Now the thing fol
our nsighbors at Millheim to consider, is
will it pay Suppose there were an aver
age of six passengers per dsy, at 50 cent
per head from Coburn to Millhe:m, woulc
be say $1,000 per year. Then the mex
question is will there be enough Of freigh
traffic TO make up the 5000? Let's cal
culate-teams now charge Soc per tor
from Coburn TO Millheim, al which rat'
II would require 10000 tons Of freight, a
Soc per ton, which is high. This would b
close to one thousand tons per month, Of
say an average of 80 tons per day. Nov
we question very much whether there j
one quarter that number Of tons receives
and sent from Coburn station, and mucl
of that would be hauled by wagons, ever
If there should be o tram"road built
which would lessen the amount to be car
ried on the horse-cars.
Allow that our estimates are too hign
cut them down to one half, and then Sc
whether it would pay.
