Recent railroad statistics that have been
gathered contain some interesting informa-
ton touching the growth of our railroad
system. 1t was in 1880 that the first twen-
ty miles of road were built, and between
that date and ls50 there were 5000 miles in
full operation, or an average of 450 miles
per year In the mex ten years, ending in
1850 there were added 81 800 miles, 2.169
per year, and since ls60, a period of twenty
four years, there was further added 12l ,s13
miles or trifle more than $3.50 per year.
The capital represented in the construction
and operation of this great system is seven
and one-half billions of dollars, (7,525, 49,
4Gl, ) and the effect of this capital in the APP
probation OF other property is represented
at about $l4, coo, 100000 These are pretty
large figures, and they are used with effect
in comparison with the amounts appropria-
ted by Congress from the beginning of the
Government to the present time for the i'm
provement OF the rivers and harbors of the
country, which all told aggregates $l30,00o,
600 In other words, the railroads that have
sprung into existence in the last forty years
have cost thirty times the total amount ex-
pended for riyers and harbors from the
foundation of the Government!
