While these are very large figures, they are small in comparison with those which were given for the corresponding period of 1SS6, when, although the number of roads sold was less by two, the mileage was 5,U2 milds, or more than two and a half times that of the last sis months, and the appareat capital investment was nearly Í2y2,000,000, against $157,000,000 for the present year or nearly doublé.
