READIN'G TO LANCASTER, 97
cost of which, at $30,000 per niile, would amnount to the sum of
$3.330,000.
By the construction of this road, Philadelphia would not only be
brought nearer to the northern counties of her own'State, but would
draw off much of the trade and travel fromin Western New York, Canada
West, and the North-Western States, which niiow goin other directions.
The distance from Philadelphia to Buffalo, via Pottsville, VWilliainsport, and Elmira, (and, also, via the Attica and IHorriellsville R. R.,
which will be opened for travel before the road in question could be
b)uilt,) would b)e 391 miles, and to Niagara Falls, 413 miles. These
places are distant from Philadelphia, via,New York City, the Erie, aind
attica and Hornellsville R. R., 511 and 533 miles.
It would not be so advantageous to Philadelphia to construct a line
up the Susquehanria, fronti the Central R. R. at Harrisburg, as it would
be to the city of Baltimore.
The Pottsville route for Philadelphia is undoubtedly the best, as it is
nearer, and the trade over it could not be so well diverted as by tihe
Susquehanna route. Baltimore has a connection with the Central road
at Harrisburg, and if the Susquehanna route was adopted, the trade
would naturally flow through that channel to Baltimore. It will, therefore, be to the interest of the Baltinioreans to construct that route.
