The protest lodged by the officials
of steamboat lines running out of

ton Roads, and not from Baltimore

mac River at this point. thence
through Charles County, Md, touch
ing at Indian Head, thence to con-
nection with the Shepherd branch Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ops
posite Alexandria, at the line of the
District of Columbia for entrance in
to the Union Station in Washington.
The bridge to span the Potomac,
according to President Cannon, will
cost approximately S1,000,000, and

Engineer Corps of the United States:
army, who also, have approved. the:
right of way. The road will be about
$50 miles long and will cost approx:
imately S14,0D0,000.
