Railroad |
| We learn from a reliable
source that the President and Chief Engineer have recently closed a
contract for the graduation of all the unlet sections on the Railroad,
from the head of the road in Richmond country to the town of
Charlotte. The contractor is Mr. Harvey, of Richmond, Va., a gentleman
of extensive experience, great energy and ability, and second to none
on this continent for executing work in this department. He has been
engaged for several years in building the celebrated "Don
Pedro" railroad in Brazil. The whole work is to be completed by
the end of next year, and sooner if possible. We also learn that Mr.
Atkinson, the Chief Engineer, and Mr. Smith, the Engineer of Bridges,
are visiting the Pee Dee and other streams, with the view of preparing
the place for crossing these streams, so as to secure an early
completion of the road. We, and all with us, may feel assured that
this great State work is now in good hands, and will be pressed with
energy to a happy conclusion. |
