Central Railway Company


Inquiry at the offices Of Messrs.
Manning, Clark & Haviland evinces
the fact that the Central railway
northWard from the city is progress
ing as rapidly as the elements will
permit, at least as far as this con-
Germs twenty-five mile contract is
concerned.
About ten miles at this end OF the
contract is about completed and a
considerable portion of the upper end
is nearing completion, leaving the
heaviest portion of the work to be
done in the middle of the job where
the work will be Of easier supervi-
sion.
The local contractors have had
much heavy construction and have
made excellent Roadway. Many sink
holes have been encountered, some of
which have swallowed up more earth
than the one regarding which SO
much has been said in recent weeks.
This work will run into the middle
of the summer. When completed
the concerns many friends will hope
that the boys of the firm will come
out of it with a barrel of money.
The courage involved in undertaking
such a large contract is an encour-
agement to activity upon the part of
others.

these machines are useful appliances
for other things than merely pulling

only couple of feet of water, how

These efforts were fruitless until a
