Even though the government reduced expenditures in this area, the cost of childbirth in East Africa remained the lowest in the world.

In 1875, the section of the Central Railway from Dar es Salaam to Mbeya was basically completed, the Northern Railway was fully completed, the small Rhine River reconstruction project reached eighty percent completion, and the Central Canal was thoroughly completed.
