'"' k..i-,-).1 i :, tj OUR RAIL ROAD. At the meeting of tbo Council of State, on the 15th msUnt, the following proceed ing took place in regard to this Raleigh and Gaston' Rail Road: ' v.. ' GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE . to the council of stays of north cako . Una, Your present convocation hat been -ocean sioned, by reason of ihe destruction, ' by fire, on the night of the 20th nit. or the ex tensive Brick building, comprehending the the Machine Shop and Engine House of the Raleigh and Gaston Rsil Road, at the Depot in this City. The Rail Road j being the property of the State, this mis- j fortune, which is .believed to have been purely accidental, produces a public loss, which ts estimated t not lesa than twenty- five thousand dollars 725,000.) Beside the Bui ding and Shop Furniture of various kinds, including a stationary Steam, Engine for the pfopulsiooor Machinery, four of the tr ven Locomotive, 1 elongiiig to the Road, which happened to be in the Engine House at the occurrence of die fire, were subject ed to its ravages: -two of therajbeing total lyroined, and the other, twb Considerably endamaged. - , . With so serious a diminution oi its mo tive power, and the enure loss or materials and means for making repairs, it is obvious that this operations of die Road cannot be continued, to the eiient f the i public Wri- venience and demand, and to realize the customary income, which is necessary for its preservation, unless resources can be obtained, to overcome these difficulties. The powers corferred on the- Board of Commissioners, for the management of the Road, en behalf the Stale, have been examined, with a view to measures of , re lief, under their authority, bul'are found to be inadequate to any effectual? reoit' dy. . ' ' " " jt devolves, tnereiore, on tne executive, to consider what the public interest re quires in this emergency, and I have deem ed it ao occasion of auJEcient moment, W fnofc(9,:the' id rretr-atid assist iifree'KTbrided in the constitution of. yourhonorable body. In communicating with freedom.: tny, re flections on the matter in band, it is hardly needful to premise, that it ia done, with the most perfect deference to tout better judgment, and an earnest imrttafion to a rigid scrutiny or them, ana a Irank uis closore of your own views. Three different eoarees.ef precednre ap pear to me to be open to us namely: . 1st. To abstain from any interference, and leaf llbe Bail llbad d jo "loestruc Uon. ; ir "'"' f' "' i--'-"":" '--I " "indTo convene the Legislature, to prr tect f agaThit tfiii csstialty. - " C ' 3d. To exercise for this end, the power and authority, of the governor and Conn cil, ttnd4r the act of the General Assembly, ratified the qth day of January, 1845, en titled "an act to kothorize ' the foreclosure: of the Mortgage on the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road." ' l 'J ; H V The first, Sri my apprehensions would be an abandonmebt of " public dulyt without 'excuse, or even nretexu Not to speak Of Joe convenience and advantage of this Work, tot the community, which trom dily familliarity are not duly considered, and like the blessing of health, , and the free use of our Jimbs, would be fully ap nreciated, only alter tneir loss, there can be no plea, for supineness or negligence, in us. to vowsrds so larire a portion of -the public property The price and. other circumstances, attending the purchase of this Railroad, by the State are fully known to vou. The report of its Treasurer, for the? first ten months, afier the purchase. submitted to the Legislature, showed its income to have been 5 1,923 43. By, the statement of the same, orucer, (pre- pared under direction of the 'Board of Commissioners, and published in the new papers in analogy to the regulation respect ing the Report of the Comptroller, on the public Finances) for. the year immediately aueceedmg and ending pn tne 1st of. Ko- vember isst.Hh income in this latter peri odwaa the aura of j$08,02 ,57: all which, will more fully appear from copies of both these documents, herewith laid before you Aitnougtt in tne jatter year; no proms were realized from, the Road to the public Trea. sury, .materials were purchased for re pairs, und improvements, on n extensive scale (amonir which may be particularized 180 Tons of New .Rstlroad Iron, bought and paid for since ths adjournment of the Legislature;) and by reason of the addition of a new and 1 snperior Locomotive, and other arrangements sop jested by experience,1 in ma now current year, us prospects were hciier at be' occurrence ' of .lhe' accident, than at any' lime since it bss been wned bj;:htf Stote.;" ; ,S j manifertnoweVei', ih(hi Railroad is valuable only as si wholf and, nof Vrr detsche.ljrr'niqtiiated parts: andbnfets it be kept suflicien y lepfiredand equipped, to carry oj transportion at least o the extent, that a .Jiaa- dope heretofore,., the 'receipts will, soon fill btUw the nreeasary expendi inras; and its operations must cease.,; .The question before us therefore is not between a less, or greater moiin,f tccomodti(r w income, from the Road, but, whs'brr it shall be resigned to dius and waste,, until the aeual session f the. Legislatures 'And in this eonnection.'it must be observed, that ill decay, end tos W the eMaHfishmeni, during this period, rvoold , be ten-fold great er, than the damage of -the fire. ..Prompt and rnergctio action ( being th-n jndispejn i;mi,.i . . -t . t,.' . sibic, we trc limjtedio "yi cbsce' Mf5B the alternatives already stated, 2d. In consideration of the necessity of raising a torn .of money, probably equal in -amount, to the above estimate of loss, as the only effectual means of reliet, I would much prefer, did circumstances favor it, to convoke the Legislature', and leave the prop er course in thepremesis. to be determined by the representatives of the people. But independently of. the inconvenience of sum moning the members from their, homes, at the present season, the expense of a See- sion of the General Assembly, to deliber ate on the. subject, would not probably fall below the amount required fur. the purposes in contemplation. And, expert ence, having demonstrated that the months of spring and summer, are , the season of greatest profit to the Road, even the neces sary delay of an extra session of the Legis lature,, ai Hie carucBi prwitvnuia pcuvu, would be attended with serious loss, in its recoipts, as well as public inconven ience,. .... ... .,v : ,, ., ... 3d. Bv reference to theSth section of the apt of 184a, already quoted, it will be per ceived, that the Governor, with the, advice of the Council of State, has full power to sell the Rail Road, and alt the appendant Dronertr. and to transfer the title. And if offers to purchase are made, it is bis duty to convene the'Countil.and submit the same tothem,'wlthiis '6ilnir'the''iiWftelr; of accepting. In connectipn with the ordi nary dntv of the Executive, to protect the public property from dilapidation or injury, so far as adequate means may be within his control, the power , in tins instance 10 Sell, sd as to realize the highest attainable price, seems reasonable to imply an author ity to make a conditional sab; or Mortgage, with a view of raising money to Keep up its value, and save it from ruin.
