The Railway Age will publish statistics
of railroad building for the first half OF
the current year. There are $500 miles
of main track (not including switches or
sidings) constructed on LAO lines, in IS
states and territories. During the cerre-
spending period of last year there were
1890 miles. The difference is accounted
for on the ground that last year Was ex-
traordinarily favorable for the early ccIn-
mencement of work, while the reverse is
true this year. In 1881 only 1880 miles
cf track were lad for the first half. The
Age estimates the construction fot the en-
tire year at 5000 miles.
