Steady progress is being ina,de in car-
rying out the exteru3ive programme to
which this Company is com.mitted.
With the branch to Owen Sound which
was formally opened. on the 9th of Aug-
ust, „and the section of 10 miles from
Mount Forest to Harriston completed,
the Company -will have a -total mileage
of 165 miles. The accounts show ex-
penditures amounting to $2,727,054 or in
round figures at the rate of $16,500 per
mile since work was commenced.in June,
1869'. If we take out such items as in-
terest and. diicount paid on bonds, cord. -
wood in stock, directors' fees, &c., it will
be seen that the total actual expenditure
on the line is at about the rate originally
contemplated, namely, $15,000 per mile.
The ordinary working expenses for the
year ending 30th of June, 1873, were 66
per cent, and with the miscellaneous ex-
,penses included, 69.6 per cent, a rate of
expenditure which it is believed. can be
xnaterially reduced. The light class of
locomotivesfirst purchased. was found to
be unsuited to the requirements of the
• traffic, and. a heavier class with the
weight well distributed has been sub-
stituted with great advantage to the
Company's Interest. —.Monetary Tilte&
