Chiefly "a Home Road.r d.

The location OF the road in general, the
engineer states, is favorable for light
construction. He says, further:
1T is very significant fact that be
tween the cities Of Frederick and Thur
mont on the Western Maryland Rail
road, a distance of sixteen miles. there
are 400 people who are stockholders in
the Washington. Frederick. and Gettys-
burg Railroad. I do not recall in nv
long experience of railway examination
anything that approximates sthis as an
evidence Of local popularity. The officers.
as well as the board Of directors. are
from stations on the line of the road
It is important at this point to call at
tention to the fact that no salaries are
being drawn by any official Of the road.
The directors from Frederick are busi-
ness men, interested in the new line
because they expect on its completion to
get better rates on the existing lines
and more prompt shipment by their own
line. II is, from all l could learn. q
distinctly home road Everybody is in
terested in\ts success. The few who
are not holders Of the stock are anxious
for the facilities that will be afforded
by the new road. Among these are TO
be found many who claim they have
been subjected 70 oyercharges, or tardy
service, from the roads now entering
Frederick City"
Mr.. WrenshaH makes this estimate of
income and expenses for the first year:
Gross income. passengers, $50. 900; gross
income, freight. $4,000; total. $50 900; oper-
ating expenses. $4,000: gross income, Tess
operating expenses, $4,000. I would, how
ever, increase the latter amount by 5000
the second year and $4,000 the third
year. BY the end of the fifth year the
income in passenger traffic, with decrease
Of expenses, will probably necessitate TAX
ing into consideration the opening Of the
entire line from Washington to Gettysburg
the result of the showing made by this
the central portion of the system The
favorable result following the building
and operating Of this part will be an un-
answerable argument for the building of
