Dear Str:-I beg leave to ac-

report from you, under date OF
the 14th instant, in regard to the
comparative cost of constructing the

two routes, viz: tho 'Mayfeld" and

The report is accompanied by a
map (blue PRINT further explain
ing the situation as affecting the rel

This report and map was request-
ed by me, because of the fact tina.
it had been represented to me that
had, by agreement, been delegated
by the several parties (authorities,
in interest to express an opinion In
regard to the relative merits OF these
routes. Why, l am somewhat at a
loss to altogether understand anu
appreciate.
However, upon the strength OF the
exhibits made, considerations of eco
nomic cost, the fact that the route
is to constitute a link in a direct
line of public travel, transportation,
general service, ETC., the "Mayfeid
Route" or link should, in my opin-
ion, be the logical and practical one
