Tha June meeting of the Heard et Trade was held en Tneadey evening at their room, In Ksbleman's ball, with President Wlckerabam In tbe cbalr. Tbe treasurer reported a baiicce In the treasury of 181.78. Mr. Housten, of tbe rallreai cemm'tte, submitted a loeglby verbal report. Ue aid tbe committee, after tbe last meeting of tbe Beard of Trade, bad an Interview with Mr. Davis, of tbe Safe Harber Iren works, In relerenee te tbe building of a railroad from uaieuatDer 10 Lancaster, and tbe oom eom oem mltttee would new submit tbe reanlt of that Interview. Tbeoeatof tbe propeaed read from the aurvey and estimates made would be (200,000 In round figures. Tbe estimated reeelpts per year are 120.000, divided as follew: Freight from Safe Harber Iren works, 19, 400; ether freight at Bate Harber (1,000; Keckblll station, (300; Black water station; (2,500; Mllleravllle station, 13. COO; passenger servlee, (P,000; mall and cxpreis, (1,000, making a total or (20 000. Tbe expenses would be about (22,000lmade ., up of (5,000 interest nn (100,CO0 bends, and -, , (4,000 Interest en (100,000 stoek and (13,000 U running expense?, wbleh would leave (4.000 per year profit Tbe committee did net go ever the figures carefully and were net new prepared te recommend tbe build ing of the railroad. Heme of the eatlmated reeelpts were lower in tbe committee's judgment than they would actually be and tbe oemmlttoo thought this read would earn In proportion te its length as much as tbe Quarryvllle railroad. Tbere ere soveral matters in connection with this read which should be changed before tbe committee can recommend Its construction. One is in reference te the paasenger depot at Safe Harber. It is en one aide et tbe creek and tbls read is en the ether, and unless tbe depot Is changed te suit the new read there will be much in convenience. Anether objection te be met is that tbe Pennsylvania railroad company owns tbe right of way and elding from the Pert Deposit read te tbe Iren works and un less the right te use tbe siding Is ob talned the new read wjll have te build for some dlstance elther by filling up tbe creek or cutting down a very high bill, either of which would be very expensive. A. third matter which tbe committee deem very important Is a chance as te tbe route of en tering tbe city. Tbe reute et the read should be se changed that lnstead et run ning te Dllleivllle, It will strike tbe city at or near the corner cf James street and Col Cel Col lege avenue, then by connecting with tbe Quarryvllle railroad run te tbe Stevens beuse station. About one and a-balt miles can be saved if this change Is made and tbe read run tbla way Instead of te Dlllerville. After tbe consultation with Mr. Davis Berne of tbe members et the Beard of Trade thought as tbe coot of tbe survey bad been paid by tbe Hale Harber iron company it was proper that Laneaster city should rati e antneleut money te defray the expenses of securing the right of way for tbe proposed read, and be and Mr. Reynolds undertook te collect tbls money. He ttien detailed at length their rxporlence te show bow reluo relue tant some et tbe business men et this city were te subecribe towards tbe enterprise. Tbe collecting committee) were treated se shabbily at a nun.bcr of bualness houses that they almost ceme te the conclusion te give up tbe task undertaken. As te the proposed railroad te New Hol Hel land the committee would report that tbe New Helland and Wayuesburg branch bad been sold and the coiumlttee weie net new prepared te say bow tbe sale would atlect tbe construction of the proposed read. Tbe Heard of Train took no action en the repot t of tbe committee. REFERRED TO COMMITTKK ON MANUrAO TURK1. A communication from T. W.
