' in the ngeregatc to $31 ,W11 MK They did j thw need be supplied. , as I informed the chairman. I These are the facts : For the service of good work and received good pay, and eve. ! 1 he chapman has cxn?3erated tbe cost. The contractors allege that ibey can show the work of their construction o have cost the company less, (throning in at, addition al cost of repairs so particularly r( utiontd iu this report,) than any purt of the line, for the chief reasou that their purnhiise of iron was the moit fortunately timed of any other. The next count iu tho chairman's 1 ill of indictment againt nie, is as to the I'Vort contittcts. This may be briefly despatched. All wood contracts of 18.00 and oG as well as previ ously, were made by the engineering corps who were iu charge of construction and of rransportnlioii at earu en'l. i he chief cngl - neer directed and controlled this. As soon as I was able to understand the condition of things along the line of 2'.'.'J miles, I stop ped all contracting for wood ex-eul ut tuch jHiints as Wire deficient in siijiphj and liio more than this 1 lixcd the rale at il.Uo per cord, where formerly Sl'U was paid. One thing, however, I did do which the chairman may censure. I found many cases here large contracts had been promised,! but no w ritten agreement made at the time In all such cases where the persons had pre pared to do the work ou the faith of these promises, I 01 lered the coutracts to be ex-w ecuted.

Iu this way it has paid far above its cost to us.

This second service of passenger trains was commenced in March of ltu7. The rca sous which caused the board to put it in ope ration, were those : The mail train left Charlotte early iu the niorniiiL' and passed throuch the liuebv dav to Goldaboro' iu the cveuiug. The mail train I of the Charlotte aud South Caroliua Rail road, our southern connection, arrived at Charlotte iu the afternoon. As a conse quence, passengers coming through were detained from 4 or 5 o'clock 1'. M. to 6 o'clock A. M., more than 1'-' hours at Char lotte, going; north. The same was the case wheu our train reaches Cbarlotte in the eve ning, aud the passengers bad to wait uitil 8 o clook next moruiug, ot more than VI hours oi.inr. annlh Tin caused Vel'V tr reat 1 dissatiefaction.and asmucbcoinplaintagainst) tho board as the chairman makes, if pos Bible, but it could be remedied. We offered to divide the night ruuuing with the Char lotte aud South Carolina Road, but they were unwilling to subject their people along the liue to this inconvenience to way travel. We bad the same difficulty, and finally, af ter much consultation, both boards agreed to put on an additional service the express train as tho ouly possible meaus of ac commodating the conflicting demands of through aud way travel. Last spring we concluded that it was best to make the most of this second train by rnnniug it on through counectieus of time with the .South-Carolina Road, and the northern trains at Wel don by way of the Raleigh & Gaston Road, Thii rutiniriff. with thronirh connections tier Wr .,i.r,l r.T, .h iih f a,;i lat, and conlinufd totheearlj part of Jan - oary as my report atatcs, when, conhider - it.g the proportion of time allowed me less I one train only, there is required an equip- nient oi seven engines, (lour mail ) and twelve passenger coaches; for both trains we use ten engines and fourteen passenger coaches, with three baggage cars. The actual addi- tional expenditure per month for the second train, does not exceed my statement of fig- ires, which ha refers to. The statement he gives, as that of the master mechanic, was never given by him as its eot, but is tliu chairman s own account made up Ironi erumiie uurniuiua 10 me manier uieciiauiu. ti i . i j ii- J he chairman cannot comprehend, and ibis , 1 : ,.,,, . , .. 1 . , ' , , . iuuii uon nuuuiu : mill tra"'s or' " ro,id ar.e not hhSed to cost j , . .-..... . ...w ,m- i ue mo ecrnccs uuiieu, may no operaiea more economically and with 11 smaller equip- uieut foi both, thau relatively for one. His estimates and comparisons as to the pin-scu'cr trafDo are, in the same manner, wholly erroneous.
