NEW RAILWAY.
During the past two years 165 miles OF
new railway have been completed ana put
in operation I'm this State. OF this fifty
miles were completed the first half OF
this year. In this respect North Carolina,
the railway commissioners say, leads
every State in the Union. The greater
part OF North Carolina is now supplied
with railway facilities. The panic has
also injured business. But in spite OF
these drawbacks the construction OF new
roads and the improvement OF OLD ones
goes steadily on. The assessment OF rail-
ways per mile is practically the same %
last year. The assessment for 1870 was
only sl2,32. 7O4. and Is now s24,22s,904. This
gives an Increased revenue in State taxes
alone of over $4,000, and OF over NO'OVO
in county and municipal taxes. All rail-
way property now equally shares the
burdens of taxation. The commission mas
during the year ordered depots built at
sixteen points. Others are to be buiit
next spring. During the year ninety-tWo
were filed with the commis-
sion In most instances the railways eoi
rected the causes OF complaint as soon
as brought to their attention.
