A railroad contractor who happened to be
in town Friday was asked what it weuld
cost to build a railroad from this city to
Camden, by a gen tleman who formed his &C.
ouaintance. The contractor replied that be
vas able to give an estimate that would be
almost as accurate az could be given without
a personal survey Of the route, as be was
familiar with the surveys made during the
past few years and had had considerable cor
respondence concerning the road when the
old Three C's Company thoughtof building 1t.
At that tine he had made a careful study OF
the surveys and had made an estimate 9!
the cost of putting the road 10 condition to
receive tie rolling stock. The road from
here to Camden would not be an expen-
sive undertaking and could DE built and LAID
with so pound steel rails foc S5,l5O a mile.
If laid with so pound rails the average cost
per mile would be $3.50. For this sum he
would contract to. build the road and give
pond 70. the faithful and satisfactory per-
formance Of the work within a year or even
six months if desired. The man who made
this estimate has been engaged in building
railroads for a number of years and his
figures are not based upon mere guess work,
but upon a practical knowledge of the bust
ness and the particular road that be was
talking about.
According to this estimate is should not be
a matter of such great difficulty for the
towns of Sumter and Camden and the
intervening townships to build The road
without outside aid, if the proper amount of
interest could DE aroused among the people.
1t should not be difficult to form a company
aud float sufficient bonds to build the road if
the funds could not be raised in any other
wa5, and there is 20 doubt but that II could
be done.
If Charleston wants a connection with the
West this is au opportunity TO join forces
with Sumter and build a road through
from Charleston to Camden, on condition
tina, the Ohio RIVER and Charleston Railroad
Company will complete the road from Gin
cinnati 10 Camden without a break.
