It has now to be double-tracked, for which the Stock has to be assessed $10 per Share,whiobwiU not only supply the equipment and work, but pay off the floating Debt. Four years’ coupons are to be funded iuto an income,7 per cent. Mortgage Bond, and a 5 per cent new Bond is to be substituted for the old Bond which, after April 1885, is to bear six per cent.’ The Rome Watertown Ogdensburg will furnish a way for the Great Western to Montreal when the St. Lawreuce South Shore has been completed, from Dundee to Huntington the surveys for which have been made, and the’contracts given out. It will connect with the Potsdam and Watertown, and will makes first-rate passenger road to the North-west andManitoba during the summer.The $5,000,000 paid by'the Continental Construction Co. for the building of the Hoosac Tunnel road has made Burt’s scheme assume a more positive aspect. They talk of consoli-dating the Hoosac Tunnel interest with the West Shore road through the Mohawk Yalley westward. This, it is believed, will be the plan carried out; but there is another scheme, 1-to extend the Hoosac Tunnel route, via the Albany and Susquehanna to Sharon Springs. A correspondent of .*he Utica Herald seems to iodine to the belief that this may be done, a new route being selected to Utica, and from Utica west via the route already secured for tne Utica Syracuse Air Line RaUcoad. The fact that little or no land has been purchased east of Uticar and “that Burt’s representatives west of Utica are buBily employed, gives considerable streagthtothlsstatementof plans. He adds: “I am informed that agents of the Bnrt-Hoosac Tunnel railroad, have reappeared in the town of Vernon, Oneida County, and have money in.bank to ,pay for the right of way. They-are-mflrinir pnrrhftsea. and declare thatifceir com* Jaoy will go on and build a railroad regardless UTdther projects.
