NO other portion of the line has been

We now have about fifteen miles of
roai-bed reAdy for the cross.ties, done in
c0.nple.e workman-like Manner
Road beds in cuts l6 feet wide and on
embankmentS IL feet wide, these dimen-
sions being ample for tirst-class road.
During part of the month of October,
your engineer corps was employed III ex-
| tending tho surveys to Edgetield C. H..
this work being done at the expense OF
certain. citizens of Edgeield county. =
l;ne OF medium cost can he had on a
| maximum grade of So feet per mile.
l have located your road OH q maxi
mum gradient Of 63 feet per mile Should
| 1t be your plaE to unite with other roads
through Edgeiield and Aiken to Charles
ton, would advise that the maximum
he reduced to SO feet, this being the high
est grade on the South Carolina Railway.
Should 1t bo determined. however, to
unite with the X. & A. r. r., then the
| grades should remain as they are, costing
less to build, and uniting with a road
having gradients Of 80 feet per mile.
On view Of the operations of your
Company from It's organization to the
present time, there is found total re-
| amount, deductinE S2,253.7O, being the
amount of cash on hand. value Of prop
erty, &c, there remains SIG, ,9O4.09 actual
| ly PAID out. For this sum you have ex-
perinientai Surveys covering $50 miles of
line actually run and SO miles located,
with graded road-bed of about Is miles
| and the entire right of way secured, less
| say miles Of line, together with many
| other contingencies provided for. This
shows total average cost per milo of
3l,l27. Onehalf Of the grading done is
above the average in cost to be encoun-
tered on the whole line. Charging the
actuul cost OF construction only, 1t will
be seen that the average cost per mile Of
work done is STA.
Hoping that you may speedily find
means to continue the construction of the
| road, am respectfully yours,
THos. B. LEE, Chief Engineer.
