Mr, MorerLy being called on, said he hid 310% had time to look inato this matter; but if the Committee would allow him to conter with Messrs. Hulbert and Foster respectiang Akeir sokemes he would be better prepared to give his opinion. He supposed what was ra-- quired was an estimate of the comparative cost of the iron and wooden railways above grads. o s te The CuaIRMAN said the grades could be lowered when the iron track was being laid, Mr. Moszruy believed the groat objection to the weoden railway was the effact of the frost on the lise. It would be no casy mat-- ter to repair it in spring. However, he would give his opinion on the subject after confer-- ring with Mr. Hulbert and Mr. Foster, Mr. Fost@ir was next called on. He sail there appeared to be a slight misapprehea-- sicn reepecting the number of iron boits re-- quired in his rail, When the rails rana a straight line sno iron bolts were used at all. The boits were ooly used in joints at the curves, There was not a bit of iron any-- where except at the curves whaere the bolts were pus to prevent the joiats from sproad-- ing. Nr. Mossriy said it would be desirable to grade the roads with the object in view of afterwards lay ing iron. The CuarrmaN seaid the object was to as-- cirtsin if it were practicable to lay woolen rails which would answer for the pressut,and in future should give way to iron rails,.
