The increase on the value of land in the vicinity of the line will be 

 more than equivalent to the amount of capital required to build it. 

 Ten dollars per acre may be con.^idered a low estimate for the advance 

 that will certainly follow immediately upon the completion of the work) 

 which on a strip the whole distance, three miles in width, would be 

 equal to one million nine hundred and twenty thousand dollars, and 

 this is only a fractional part of the extensive tract of land that will be 

 greatly enhanced in value by the construction of this line. 



Respectfully, 



Your ob't serv't,
