I ob SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT. Western and Atlantic Rail Road, Atlanta, October 15, 1857. His Excellency, II. V. Johnson— Sir : In obedience to a law of the State, I herewith submit the Report of this Road for fiscal year ending 30th September, 1857. The gross income of which is $900,808 95 Expenses of working and maintaining Road, 435,827 55 Net Earnings, $464,981 40 Amouat piid for equipment and construction, $383,661 04 Total expenditures for year 1857, - 819,488 59 Amount paid into State Treasury since my last report, $100,000 00 The whole cost of Road to Sept. 30, 1857, is 5,901,497 52 Of which amount there has been r aid from the Treasury of the State the sum of. $4,495,652 43 And from the earnings of the Road, 1,405,845 09 $5,901,497 52 Besides the $1,405,845 09 which has been paid from the earnings of the road since 1852, for its legitimate construc- ^ tion and equipment, and thereby become part and parcel of the capital invested, the sum of $293,500 has been paid into the Treasury of the State. These amounts make 4 ^ the aggregate of $1,699,345, which are real-profits of the j, Road, as is evidenced from the fact, that if the portion which has been paid towards the capital of the Road, from the earnings, had not been so applied, it would have been necessary for the Legislature of the State to have appropriated that amount for its proper construc¬ tion It will therefore be seen that the business of the Road has far exceeded the most sanguine expectations, and actually paid an interest of over per cent, per annum for the past five years on the $4,495,652 43, the whole amount advanced towards the capital of the Road from the Treasury of the State. I have deemed it proper to make this statement, showing from what sources the real capital of the Road has been derived, in justice to all concerned. The accompanying tables will fully explain the items of expenditures but it will be necessary here to remark, that the following contracts, for equipment and construction were made by my predecessor, and paid for out of the earnings of the past year, viz : For Equipment, Engines and Machinery, $96,680 46 " " New Cars, 56,199 22 " Depot Buildings and Shops, Wood Sheds, &c., 23,210 12 Construction, Culverts, Grading, Iron Kail, &c., &c., 87,461 67 $2(33,557 47 Amounting to over two hundred and sixty-three thou¬ sand dollars paid for prior contracts. The Road bed and superstructure are in excellent $ condition. Since my last report new warehouses have been erected at Allatoona and Chickamauga; Dalton Depot building has been completed, and the Cass is nearly O^jb o ci os^=^^\C( |l - —. 1| J£ finished. A new passenger shed is in process of erec- A |, tion at Chattanooga; 4 miles of side track have been ,, jj laid; 300 tons of new T rail have been recently receiv- |j 11 ed, and arrangements are progressing for the supply of || 1,000 tons of T rail, to be made at tKe new Rolling Mill jj now being built in Atlanta. The new passenger shed in Chattanooga will be built at the joint expense of roads running into that city. The rolling stock on hand is—53 Locomotives, 15 Passenger Cars, 9 Baggage Cars, 458 Box Cars, 104 Platform Cars, 29 Stock Cars, 27 Coal Cars, 17 Gravel Cars, 30 Repair Cars. The Machine Shop is competent to do all our repairs to machinery, and even build locomotives, if necessary. The Carpenter Shop is complete, and can build our pas¬ senger cars cheaper, of better quality and more durabil¬ ity than can be obtained from Northern shops. It has turned out recently one baggage and two passenger cars that will challenge comparison with any in the State. ITp to 1852, the Road had scarcely any equipment, and was paying other roads for repairs and rent for cars and engines, at high rates, for want of continued sup¬ port from the Legislature to equip and save what had already been expended of appropriations. This state of things continued through a part, of 1852, until Mr. "Wadley partly equipped the Road with the last appropriation made by the Legislature. Since ^ then the business of the Road has increased so rapidly M ■ i i $$ that his views, as to equipment, then considered extrav- ||gr<^-o=r 0„_ 0(V^ - x> Mr 6 w 'a^ agant, have been lost in insignificance, and every year, M °| till this, a serious want of motive power and ears has been experienced. Now the Road may be considered sufficiently equipped iti rolling stock to do a business of one million a year, in gross receipts. The Allatoona Culvert, was placed under contract by my predecessor. Upon my entry into office it had pro¬ gressed considerably above the foundation, and the work had been received by the Engineer then in the employ of the Road, who soon after resigued. The Engineer whom I then employed to examine and oversee the work con¬ demned the character and quality of masonry then in course of construction. The contractor submitted to an arbitration, and the award made by competent engineers of high standing was accepted. Apart of the payment is withheld to make good, defects that may justly be chargeable to the contractor when the embankment is placed upon it. The gross earnings of the year just ended, would have been much greater, were it not for the absolute necessity of reducing the rates of freight, to meet the strong rival¬ ry of competing western lines—a short crop the previous year also reduces the income considerably. The earnings of September, just past, were much re¬ duced by the decline in prices of grain and want of com¬ mercial confidence generally, causing an almost univer¬ sal stoppage of down freight. But, judging from the past, ^ in connection with my short experience on this Road, Ms and its present condition and equipment, I can safely ||jk and do most confidently assert, that with even the same —U . . .U—— amount of business in 1858 that the road has done the 1. Pas^ year, it can and should with proper management, pay into the State Treasury $350,000. The plau I adopted last year of giving increased pay, or a bonus to those running upon trains who abstain entirely from the use of spirituous liquors, is continued and has proved eminently successful. Nearly all the train employees partake of the benefit, and they as well as the communi¬ ty on line of road, are well pleased with the results. I believe I can confidently aver that no road has enjoyed a greater immunity from irregularities and accidents than this, the past year. Litigation between the citizens of Tennessee and the Road has been greatly diminished by the adjustment of suits pending in the law courts. These suits originated in damages alleged to have been sustained several years ago, before this Road had the ability to transport freight promptly when offered. A good feeling has, in a great degree,'4been restored between the Road and citizens of our sister State, and no detention of freight has occurred the past year at Chattanooga: Very few suits have orig¬ inated since I took charge of the Road. I think sound policy requires that the Road should be kept out of liti¬ gation with those who have business transactions with it, so far, at least, as is consistent with its interests. It is no doubt true, that the Road may have cost more than it should, as is generally the case with public SP works, but fortunately lor the State in.this case, the great advantages possessed by its location, in being the great link, by which a number of roads are connected x> — oo^MM ~ --—^~—•°-5^^ if w ^ with the Mississippi Valley, and the South Atlantic 6 States, will necessarily make it one of the best paying || Roads in the South. It is also very clear, that from, the jj various roads now being constructed and connecting !j with it, that its income can never be diminished. The !i most serious rival to it has been considered the line of roads from Memphis, Tennessee, to Washington City, through Tennessee and Virginia, which will soon be completed ; but the effect of this rival line will be to draw j; as much or more travel and freight from South-Atlantic jj States than will be diverted from it. The natural ad- ij vantage of this Road will not only protect it effectually, jj but all railroad interests of Georgia, of many millions of dollars expended by h<"jr patriotic citizens. It is needless for me to say anything in commendation of the wisdom of our State in the construction of this great work. It has been the means of developing her resources to a de¬ gree that procures her the proud appellation of the " Empire State " of the South—cementing the bonds of union between the States South, and giving ampler means of protecting herself against both foreign and do¬ mestic foes. The great difficulty to a correct understanding of this Road, heretofore, has been that the large amount of earnings has been annually expended in permanent con¬ struction and equipment. This has prevented the real earnings from being paid into the Treasury, which ought not to have been expected until the Road had arrived at M a point of completion. It can safely be assumed, that w the period of its completion is so near at hand, that con- 9 struction account can be extinguished in the coming year, and deterioration of rails, new depots and ma¬ chinery be charged to regular expense accounts. In coming to these conclusions, it is only necessa^ to refer to past operations of the Road for facts, to put the mat¬ ter beyond much doubt, that the estimate for payments into the Treasury, the coming fiscal year, may be relied upon. Much has been said of the cost of the ~W. & A. Railroad to the State ; of the unprofitableness of the in¬ vestment through mismanagement on the one hand, and the wastefulness of a lavish expenditure on the other. One disposed to quibble might indulge in reply to these allegations in much plausible special pleading. But no friend of this great State work has any cause to decline an argument on the merits of the case. While no one should ask any indulgence or clemen¬ cy in canvassing the administration of the officers of the Road, it would perhaps puzzle any fair minded man to give a reason why the same natural and adventitious influences, which affect private interests of the same character, should not be allowed for in this. Is it just to speak of casualties of fire and flood, of drought and money panic, and of many other apologies for miscar¬ riage and loss, in other industrial enterprises, while it is demanded, in the most inexorable spirit, that the West¬ ern & Atlantic Railroad " should know no such word as fail?" It is well known that at the inception of the work, grand and almost presumptuous for its magnitude qi? at that day, there were many grave errors committed in its construction. Impartial men are all now pretty well fij® 56,20"- 94 53.913 25 <6,781 19 44.593 34 51,39'i 33 81,568 32 55,9 6 69 48,75*1 30 39,488 95 44.513 35 53.277 01 54,008 59 INCOME FROM PASSENGERS.
