Full transcription
The railway between Nuremberg and Fürth is expected to be completed soon. The costs are estimated at 132,557 fl. 42 kr., from which approximately 8,000 fl. are to be deducted for land purchased and once again available for disposal. (Accordingly, a railway between Hall and Innsbruck would cost, in proportion to the distance, roughly 200,000 fl.)
