If the ratio of former years nao app)ied to 1905 the new track for the wear would not have exceeded 4.ooo miles. but since July 1 work has been pushed with great vigor. with the re- suit that. we can now report TOT tne year 4,gT9 miles of new track laid m the United States. on 337 lines in is states and territories.
