Ya., came Saturday on a visit to
upon making it a narrow gyagp ?
Col. Hawkins.—Because* we
thought it. to bo for tbe best in
terest of all concerned. A narrow
guage will easily do ail the busi
ness of the country though which
it will ruu, and wilt cost at least
ten per cent, less to operate it, in
cluding transfer of freight to tbc
Southwestern road at Amcricus,
while the wear and tear is from
ten to twonty per cent’less than a
standard guage.
Reporter—What is the esti
mated difference in the cost of
building and eqnippiug this road
between n narrow ami standard
guage ?
Col. Hawkins—The total oost
of a standard guage is estimated
at $235,000,' while the estimated
cost ot a narrow guage is $175,000,
making a diflerencc in favor of a
narrow gnage of $00,000. The in
terest on $60,000, at six per cent,
is $3,600 per year, which is saved
to the stockholders, to say noth
ing of the ten per cent, saved in
operating the road, which can be
either added to the dividends or
deducted from the freights, whToh
would make the freights ten per
oent. less than could be afforded
by n standard guage. Then there
is the ten to twenty percent, saved
in the wear and tear of machinery
and rails, which would otherwise
have tc lie deducted from the earn
ings of the road- Besides these
advantages there .are others. I
have only allowed six per cent, on
$60,000, when we all know that
money is worth more than that in
that half of tbo freight on cap for L_
well bo paid. Adopted.

Reporter—Will not this change
in tho guage alter your relations

Col. Hawkins—I do not see why
it should, nor do I think it will. It
will not be built in antagonism to
tho Central, and it will servo as a
feeder to that road, and as such
will be of value to that road. The
Southwestern will bo our only out

lie readily and easily transferred at

harmony with tbc Central, and
have every reason to expect that
our relations will be pleasant, as
