Conversins with a number of railroad
men who are just now in Los Angeles, A.
L. Hartman of the Rock Island, who is a
perfect encyclopedia on railroad matters,
said that 12,9S3 miles of road were built
in 1887. In 1895 only 1882 miles were
constructed, a difference of IL, ,2O1 miles.
This, reckoning the cost of building at
100000 per mile, is $224 100000, chiefly
paid out for labor in 1887 in excess of the
amount expended in 1895. In other
words, it is dollar and a half day, Sun
days included, for year, for 4O9,543
men. The difference between a year of
boom and a year of hard times, in railway
construction alone, is very striking.
