submit an estimate. made by one OF the
most intelligent, entcrpriSing, and honora-
Bile young engineers i'll our city, as to the
cost of making 4 railroad on or near the
from Richmond to LyncEburg.
1t is true that this estimate IS made by what
is known rs 4 horseback survey, but when
the fact is considered that every lock is L
bench, and between every lock is water
level, all the engineer has to do Is to look
after the width OF the tow. path and the cur
yatures OF the canal II will he seen that
most of the engineering is completed. II
must be remembered that Mr.. Burgwyn7s
estimate is made since the destruction OF
the canal, making the cost OF grading much
more than it would have cost before the
ircShet, and that TO keep 4 continuous
down-grade lie had to leave the tow-path at
Tye river two miles to get elevation to
cross the river above high-water, and still
his estimate is but S5,400 per mile, with
steel rail for fifteen miles. This includes
Che bridge over James river near Lynch
burg and Tyc river, and do not hesitate
to say that his prices forth work are much
higher than we would have to pay to first
enlarged with small cost, rs there will be no
rock to excavate. I submit Mr.. Burgwyn's
report.
1t may seem STANCE to many that should
manifest so much interest in this road, but
in answer would say that the man that has
no country to safe and to serre Is a very
poor man.
Now, in conclusion, ] would say to the
people Of Richmond and Lynchburg, Is there
any risk in furnishing the money for good
and substantial railroad, running through q
country that has no equal in this State (and
in the no distant future no equal in America)
in its capacity for producing freight, that
will cost less than $4,000 per mile?

GcutIemen,-A railroad on tie tow-path
Of the canal is and ought to DC the allah
sorbing question of the day. 'fhirty-eight
years OF experience has proven that canal
OF moderate size will not enable 4 people to
develop the country along its line. When
we consider that the ,Iames-IsiYcr valley
abounds ir unproduced wealth 10 an extent
unsurpassed in any part OF America, that
pig-ron and steel rail can be made much
cheaper liz. this valley than in any other oca-
ton in this country, that pig-iron can be put
on board OF sea-going vessels at much less
cost than at any other point, why should we
not reach ont our hands and grasp the prize,
and make Richmond and Virginia rich,
great, and happy?
RICHMOND, VA, January Il, 1878.
Franklin Stecr'as, Esq:
Dear SILL have the honor to submit the
following report as the result OF my eSti-
mate OF the cost OF railroad from Rich
mond to Lynehburg built along or near the
tow-path Of the James River and kanaWha
canal in its present damaged condition. |
believe it to be as accurate as is possible for
me to make without ali elaborate and eX-
pcnsive instrumental survey.
There will be 4 grade of thirty feet to
the mile at two points; on all the rest OF
the line it will be less than fifteen feet going
west, and level or descending going east.
The minimum radius Of curvature is four
hundred feet to the mile, but there are not
more than half dozen OF these places, and
it will not be difficult to reduce them.
| have the honor to be;your obedient sCr-
want, c. Z. L. BuRGwYN.

On motion OF Mr.. JOHNSTON, OF Giles, the
House ordered the bill to be recommltted.
Mr.. HANGER moved to reconsider. He
said that the bill had been before the House
twice, and it had been recommitted twice,
and the various conflicting insurance inter
ests had been fully heard before the COM
mittec.

best companies from the State-those Win
the greatest amount OF assets.
Mr.. T4LIAFERR0 OF Norfolk favored re-
consideration.
After some further discussion Dir. HANGER
withdrew his motion. Tine bill goes TO the
Committee on Propositions and Grievances
