Boyd and taiyeelf over the Icailway, between this Town and Sum merside, laat week. . Although the inspection made was necessarily a prt- liminary and hurried one, it was evident that a Iffood deal ofodd work ii6iJiKined to'bedone. . It was equally clear, however, that by special exertion and attention being giyen to tyajfiction of the line, tbn Gontraotors would soon be in a position to offer it to your Government for acceptance. In vi^fr, therefore, of the advanced state of the work, and the universal desire which seems to prevail that th» line between Oharlottetown and Summerside should bb' need as early as possible fbr the public service, I bflf{^ very respectfully to suggest that your Chief Bngineer^ Mr. J. B. Boyd, should be directed to proceed with all ■ I V*^'\ - ^r ^V * 6 RAILWAY y'-; m #- u««d to make a speoial and tboroaghly detailed ins]>eo- tion of the Ilail\fray between the places named, inolu8iy%; with instruotions to report the present condition of the Qtatipns, Wharlb, Sheds, Platforms, Tam-Ubles, Tanli-, booses, Sidings^ Switches, Signals, Fences, (these lattery require most particular attention) Culverts, Bridgea^t (^^tle-gufirds, and the Boad-bed, Ballasting, and Perma- Qiont way generally, whether in fhct they are complete ilif all respects and according to speoifidatido, and if not,t the particular work that renjHins to be completed, and how soon it can be accomplished, in order to-Jna|?le your GovernmentP to signify to the Dominion ^vernment^' the earliest day on which you will be prepared to offer . for their acceptance this portion of the Railway, subject to the conditions (which should be specified,) the Con- tractors may makis in regard to the continued use of the Une: l^y tJbem,. necessary to enable them to ei^rry on their qperationft in the construction of the remaining tiortioill or the BaUway and Works. The Sngitieer should HkcM wise be directed to make inqnines into thtB condition of the Boiling Stock, and to state how many Engines, and how many of each class of Car can, at the same time^' , be handed over by the Contractors to your Crovemmeiit * in good working order, for the acceptance of the Gove^- ment of the ^million.

The ar. rangemeut is of courseto be of only a temporary nature f» •-pending the acceptance by the ProvincirfOoverumeaV .^ ofthe Railway from the Con traoton. ^ As ftiUy understood at the interview between us, the Contractors should undertake not to show any favoritism i in the allotment of Cars, but should apportion them a« equitably as possible amongst the various applicants. In the notice which may be issued to the public ad- . ▼ertising this arrangement, I think it Very essential to prevent the position or interests of eljbher the Provincigl or Dominion Governments being prejudiced, that i^ f •peelal character of the wrangemeut should be distincthr ± ptj>rth, so tiiat the public i^ay be fully aware that tlit ^i IjineJinotyetformally opened for r^gulto traffic, but > •imply opened under urgent ciromastancesi to obviato i disapppinlment to shippers of grain, ftc.,who^ have de- a gmded on the anticipated opejectiontothis aifrange-^ f menijxtending^o passengers, thoS^ it,,yi poadhlj mi^> ifllowed jm no^^SeingJivfen^ it^ wo^ be a^«*|ii:oM9irM*; bjit tjie.j^niirel r^eotupon the jertottli pwril wa would be per^ttiiiy the twv#lJSig W||t>lic to wibjeQt4hjp9elve9 to, and upo;i the iie^ponn^ty j #•■ ■fl. / i*H ,^^'1 'fhM 4«i«d Arrange- inent.

I may sUte, fbr the information ot the Government, that the practice in the neighboring Pro* vinces neemt to differ in the mattet-of providing living rooms for the agenU. On thd%/|olili and Shediac line, and the older portions of thr^Ilo#» Sootla Railways, living rooms were, in most oases, prdVlded, but on the former line not always oeoaoied by the station agent. On the Pietoa Branch, K. S.. and the Baropean and North American Bail way, N. B., there are no dwelling apartmenta in the aUtions. It is qmite probable that, as (ht traffic inoreaSM, more fireight sheds will be reqoli^, bat all that were provided for in the contract have been bailt. »th.
