At that time the T-ntil had no base, but was
set between the jaws or thu chairs and kejed
by u7-lueh tapered iien wedge, driven in en
the Inside or tlie rail. Great trouble was
caused by the expansion orthe rails, bj which
means the wedges get displaced, and, when
at night the rails cooled, were all Ioese.no

and tighten them up. One arter the Hue
was constructed with stene slabs 0 te 8 foul
long, 8 iui lies thick aud 18 Inches wide, and
bruiight up te grade by the use of the pick.
Te these slabs inch strap bars wero secured
bj- spikes 18 inches apart. Tills part of the
line by the m ijerity el peeple wasronsidered
almost indestructible, and looked upon as a
great work; but Mr. M. W. Baldwin gave it
as his opinion that the tiack w euld seen settle
witli the weight of the engines. Tills proved
te be the case, for in less than sK months the
track settled and part or the line was aban
doned for some time te be rebuilt with a
wooden rail, 5 inches bj-7 Iuche3 of Carolina

There wero two trains run en the opening

wheeled cars, each car seating sixteen per

one or the llrst passengers. Mr. Baldwin
received im order for twclve locomotives

of the fact that the water appropriation was

city was net rcsimusible ter the debt
they had inclined. Mr. Evans thought

If the cltj' had received value for the work

Mr. Urban asked whether the cllj' was net

Mr. Evans answered. "Ne; the city is net
resiionsible for any illegal act done by u ccm
mitttee." Mr. Dlllcr defended the aitlen el the coin
mil tee; the old Wortlilngteii pump needed
lepairs. Mr. Worthington estimated that it
would cost 2,000 te make the rejairs ; tlie
job was given te Mr. Huber, and when the
pump was taken apart it was discovered that
ethor repalts, net seen lrem tlie outside, were
needed.
Mr. Evans usked II Mr. Wortlilngteii had
ever made an Cstlumte el the cost or the re

made the estimate; his llrst ligurcs being
$2,000, and afterward $2,200. As te the com
