Some ono must have hnd a great Eight Million dollars, which must cam and pay back to these wlso or othorwlso men, thus separated from thole money, besides nil tho cost of maintenance nnd operation, interest 'to tho extent of Four Hundred Thous and dollnrs per year. This Interest ijtono means Forty Thousand pas sengers per year at Ton dollnrs each, or Four Thousand car loads or 'freight por year at Ono Hundred dol lars per car, and even after this Is accomplished, if no other revenues nccruo, tho road would bo bankrupt like an individual unable to meet tho cxpenso ot existence.
