MEMORIAL.

To the Members of the Sejiate and
'House of Delegates of Virginia.
The undersigned, citizens of the town of L5'nchburg,
beg leave to present to the senate and house of delegates the accom¬
panying report of a committee of the stockholders of the James river
and Kanawha company, and most respectfullj' to memorialize the ge¬
neral assembly, that they will instruct the proxies who may represent
the state in the approaching meeting of the stockholders of said com¬
pany, to vote for the adoption of the tariff of tolls recommended by
the committee aforesaid ; and your memorialists ask that the report of
that committee, with the tables and documents attached, may be read
with and taken as a part of this their petition.
If your memorialists believed that there was reasonable ground for
apprehending that an3' material diminution in die receipts of the James
river and Kanawha company, even for one j-ear, would be caused by
exacting the modified tariff of tolls proposed by the committee of the
stockholders, they would not make this petition to your honorable
body, but would still longer, without complaint, submit to the ex¬
tremely onerous burthen now imposed upon them ; but they do not
see any reason for entertaining fears that such a result would follow
the adoption of the recommendations of the committee: Therefore,
they most earnestly petition that j'ou will exercise the power you un¬
questionably possess, to control the legislation of a corporation that
has, for fburteen years, by an unwise exercise of ihe power to tax la¬
bor and capital, greatly oppressed a large body of 3-our fellow-citizens.

REPORT
OF
THE COMMITTEE OF STOCKHOLDERS.
The committee of stockholders, appointed to revise the tariff of tolls
of the James river and Kanawha company, met at the office of the
company in the city of Richmond on the 27th of May last, and pro¬
ceeded to discharge the duties assigned to them by the stockholders.
They prepared a tariff of tolls, which was submitted to the president
and directors of the company for advice and approval—adopted a
resolution which requested the directoiy to give to them the necessary
information as to the amount of tolls received by the company on
each particular article of tonnage, and adjourned to meet again on
the l-Sth of October.
On the 8th of October the chairman of the committee receKed a
letter from the president of the company, covering a resolution of the
board of directors, asking that the committee might delay their meet¬
ing until the 27th of October, to enable them to furnish the informa¬
tion required.
The chairman not having time to consult the members of the com¬
mittee, and believing that due respect and courtesy required that they
ought to be consulted, declined compKing with the request of the di¬
rectory ; and the committee met again on the day appointed, reviewed
the tariff of tolls submitted to the president and directors, and ad¬
journed to meet again on 21st November; on which day a m jority
of the members not being present, they adjourned to the 22d, when a
committee being in attendance, the}^ proceeded to examine the table
furnished by the directory, with all the information they could obtain,
and agreed to submit to the stockholders a tariff of tolls, the best they
could form, with a view both to the revenues of the company and the
interests of the stockholders.
In adjusting the tariff of tolls, your committee-have had great diffi¬
culties to encounter : 1st, a large revenue is necessary to pay the in¬
terest of the debt of the company and its annual expenses ; 2dly,
other improvements have entered into, and soon will enter into com¬
petition with this company to transport the produce of the countr}' to
market, and the merchandize to supply its wants; and lastly, public
opinion demands that the tolls, which are higher than any other canal
in the United States, and the cost of transportation greater than it is
generally on railroads, should be reduced.
6
[Doc. No. 25.]
Under all these difficulties, j'our committee have made reductions,
which they believe will not reduce the amount of revenue below that
received the last fiscal year, but give some relief to those interests
which have suffered, under the oppressive burden of taxation heretofore
imposed; and they hope that public opinion will be satisfied that all
has been done which the company can do at the present time, under
its difficulties and pecuniary embarrassments.
Your committee believe that if the tarifl'of tolls which they recom¬
mend be adopted by the stockholders, the revenue of the present
fiscal year will be greater than that of the past year. It is true, that
if only the same amount of freights were transported on the canal,
there would be a considerable reduction, perhaps about 14 per cent. ;
but several causes must produce, a greater amount of tonnage the
present fiscal year, which will continue, with low tolls, to increase for
a long period. 1st. Much larger crops of the two great staples of
Virginia, tobacco and wheat, (which pay about half the tolls received
on the canal,) werè made the present year than have been for several
years past ; for the former is estimated at 50 per cent., and the latter
at 100 per cent, over the crops of the past year, and all the tobacco
and much the larger portion of the wheat and flour were on the 1st of
October to be transported to market ; 2ndly, the canal has been com¬
pleted to the Valle}', and this must greatly increase the revenues of
the company, for by reference to the 3rd vol. of the annual report of
the company, p. 33, it will be seen that an estimate of 54,498 tons
would accrue to the company on the completion of the canal to
Buchanan, though this amount will be greatly diminished by the de¬
pressed condition of the iron manufactories and other causes ; yet if
only the present estimate of the president be realized, 850,000 from
this source alone will be added to the annual receipts of the company.
Again : the Virginia and Tennessee railroad is expected to reach Sa¬
lem early in the spring, from which place the macadamized road will
be finished more than 100 miles ; which macadamized road will act as
a feeder to the railroad, and these improvements must produce an in¬
creased tonnage of at least 15,000 tons. Much higher estimates have
been made of the tonnage which will be produced by the railroad
when completed to Salem ; but if even this estimate be realized, with
the increased tonnage from Buchanan, they will much more than cover
all loss to the revenue by the reduction proposed by this committee.
Lastly, upon all the canals in the United States an increased revenue
(it is believed) has always resulted by the reduction of the tolls, ex¬
cept on this canal on a former occasion ; but this was produced by
the limited extent of the canal, and the short time the reduced rate of
tolls was suffered to exist. The canal at that lime only extended to
Lynchburg, with no feeders except the small boats on the river, and
the produce brought by wagons ; and it might easily have beeti fore¬
seen, that a reduced revenue would be the result of reduced tolls : for
the period whilst low tolls were collected was too short to change the
route to market, forced on farmers and merchants by the previous
high tolls; but with the extended country now accessible to the canal,
and with a railroad as a feeder, your committee believe that conside-
[ Doc. No. 25.]
7
rabie increase will take place in the revenue. In addition to the
above reasons, mercantile gentlemen of great intelligence advised the
reduction on many articles with a view to increased revenue; for it
is known that other routes are selected in consequence of the high tolls
on the canal.
A discrimination in the rates of toll in favor of certain articles, the
growth or manufacture of Virginia, your committee believe is sound
policy to a limited extent, and recommend its adoption b}- the com¬
pany. They find that such a discrimination is made by the Central
railroad company of Virginia, for this company charges on whiskey,
cider and vinegar, passing down the improvement, 65 cents per bar¬
rel, whereas the toll up is 90 cents—domestic goods and cotton yarns
down are charged 22 cents per 100 pounds, and up 35 cents—bar iron
down 20 cents per hundred pounds, and up 30 cents, making a dis¬
crimination in favor of articles the growth or manufacture of the
country near to and west of Charlottesville over those from the east,
of which much the greater portion is from other states or from foreign
countries. On the Georgia railroad, dry goods, the manufacture of
the state, pay 45 cents per hundred pounds, whereas all others pay
$1 10 ; and from Savannah to Chattanooga, Georgia domestics are
charged 95 cents per hundred pounds, and all other dry goods $1 70
per hundred pounds. Salt manufactured in Penns3'lvania pays on
the A. P. railroad l^V cents per ton per mile, and all other salt 2
cents. On the Ohio canal, salt made in Ohio pays 5 mills per mile,
and all other salt 12 mills. The same policy is pursued on the Erie
canal, giving a protection to articles the growth or manufacture of
New lork; and these references are made to shew that it is no new
line of policy which they recommend, and which they believe the in¬
terests of this state and the company require to be adopted.
The Valley of Virginia is probablj" not excelled by any part of the
United States for its adaptation to the growth of haj^, and yet Rich¬
mond relies almost entirely, and Lynchburg partially, on northern hay
for forage. Your canal is now completed to Buchanan in the lieart of
the Valley. If then a sufficient inducement is held out to the farmers
of the Valley, they will grow and prepare hay for the market. The
inducement proposed is low tolls, and this no doubt will stimulate its
production until Lynchburg will first be supplied with Valley haj^ and
in a few years the supply extend to Richmond and the tidewater coun¬
try, to the exclusion of the northern article.
A discrimination in favor of certain articles, the growth or manu¬
facture of Virginia, will have the effect of increasing the tonnage on
the canal, for the farmer will carry his produce to market, and as he
can transport Virginia manufactures cheaper than foreign, he will give
to thetn a preference ; and as he has for sale what the manufacturer
wants, an exchange of commodities will take place, for by this barter
better prices will be obtained, which will cause more transportation
on the canal, increasing its tonnage, and giving life and vigor to tho
infant manufactures of the commonwealth.
Your committee have carefully examined the charges or freights on
the Central railroad, the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
8
[Doc. No. 25.]
railroad, the Petersburg, Greenesville, Roanoke and Gaston railroad,
the Wilmington and Raleigh railroad, the South Carolina railroad from
Charleston to Hamburg, the Georgia Central railroad, the Savannah
and Chattanooga railroad, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Pennsylvania
and New York and Erie railroads, and have prepared with great care
a table marked A, embracing most of the agricultural products, -and
the most important items of tonnage which are transported on canals
and railroads; they have also obtained from the chief engineer of the
Virginia and Tennessee railroad company, the charges which will
probably be made on that improvement on flour, wheat and corn.
The cost of transportation on all these railroads and on the canal of
this company are placed in parallel columns ; and by this table it can
be seen what is the cost of each, which table also shews that the cost
of transportation is much less on all thèse railroads than it is on the
canal, with the exception of the Central and Fredericksburg roads in
Virginia, and Petersburg and Gaston railroad ; and even on these
some articles are transported for less than on the canal. They also
present a table marked B, which shews the cost of transportation on
the Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York canals, compared with the
James river and Kanawha canal, from which it will appear that the
tolls on the former canals are greatly less than those on the latter.
This table was prepared by a member of the committee, (F. B.
Deane, Esq.) It exhibits the tolls charged on each of the canals, and
the excess on every item of tonnage on the Virginia canal.
The reasons your committee have assigned they believe ought to
be sufflcient to induce the stockholders to adopt the tariff of tolls
which they have submitted ; but when they view the subject in all its
aspects—when they see that already the Central railroad has entered
into competition on the north, and that the Southside railroad will
during the next year on the south, and in two years it will reach
Lynchburg, the great depot for the tonnage transported on the canal,
the reduction of tolls will then no longer be a subject of doubtful ex¬
pediency, but of imperious necessity ; and when the latter improve¬
ment shall have been completed, the tolls on the canal must be greatly
below the reduction now i-ecommended. Whether the revenue will
be sufficient to pay the interest and expenses of the canal, will not then
be the subject for consideration, but rates sufficiently low to enter
successfully into competition with the railroad, and secure the trans¬
portation on the canal, of the agricultural and mineral products and
heavy merchandize.
As a misapprehension prevails as to the rates at which railroads
can become the carriers of tonnage, even in high places, your com¬
mittee considered it a duty to investigate this subject with considera¬
ble care, to ascertain at what prices existing railroads were transport¬
ing produce, and what probably would be the charges on the South-
side railroad when completed. Table A shews that wheat is now
transported from Charleston to Hamburg, 140 miles, at 7 cents per
bushel, and flour at 25 cents per barrel, or about 1| cents per ton per
mile, and on this road there is an inclined plane which must add 10
per cent, to the cost of transportation. On the Georgia Central rail-
[ Doc. No. 25.]
9
road from Savannah to Atlanta 290 miles, wheat is transported at a
cost less than the above-mentioned railroad in proportion to distance,
and flour at a fraction over 2 cents per ton per mile, and other South-
em railroads at about the same. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
transports at a cost of 2 cents and 1 mill per ton per mile, and on the
Pennsylvania railroad the tolls are 1 cent and 6 mills per ton per mile.
It is true that other articles pay higher charges, but at the same time
there are other freights which pay less; and flour and,wheat, from
their " weight, bulk and value, are deemed fair representatives of ca¬
nal freights."
As the Southside railroad is constructed with easier grades, it is be¬
lieved, than any of these roads, its highest grade being only 13 feet per
mile, with the exception of one, and that only 63 feet, at which an
extra locomotive can be stationed to assist in overcoming it ; and as
the cost of construction will only be about one-fourth of the Baltimore
and Northern railroads, it appears evident it can transport freight
cheaper than can be done on any of those roads ; the conclusion there¬
fore appears to be irrefutable, that it can transport the principal arti¬
cles of tonnage at less than 2 cents per ton per mile.
The conclusion is strengthened by the opinion of Col. Garnett, the
chief engineer of the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, who estimates
the expense of transportation by that company will not exceed 1 cent
per ton per mile, and further states : " That the experience of our
country has pretty well established the fact that it does not exceed
one cent per ton per mile on well constructed railroads, and in Eng¬
land coal is now carried at one shilling sterling per ton for 100 miles,
which is about one-fourth of one cent per ton per mile and Mr. Al¬
len, from the committee on canals, in a report made to the legislature
of New York on the 13th of March 1851, says; "The cost of trans¬
porting freight upon railroads is shewn, by the report of the state en¬
gineer, to be 8 mills per ton per mile, p. 13, and again on p. 15, he
shews the cost of transporting freight on the following

Again—The Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which cost for construc¬
tion $ 54,383 per mile, (25lb annual report, table P,) with grades per¬
haps the highest of any railroad in the United States, transports coal
from Cumberland to Baltimore, 178 miles, for $2 per ton, equal to
1 cent per ton per mile, and flour at 40 cents per barrel, equal
to 2 iV cents per ton per mile ; yet this road made a clear dividend
of per cent., (25th report, p. 3.) Its receipts, exclusive of passen¬
gers, were $942,477, (25th report, table 0,) and its total expenses,
including the transportation of passengers and mails, including " many
items" of expenditure " found indispensable to incur in view of the
early completion of the road," and " constructing 7 miles of second
track, not less than $25,000," amounted altogether to $ 695,919, leav¬
ing a clear proflt from freights alone of $ 246,508, (25th report, p. 4.)
These facts clearly prove that the opinion which prevails exclusively
that railroads cannot transport freights, except at very high prices, un¬
less sustained by passengers, is erroneous ; and also prove that the
opinion of this committee previously expressed that the Southside rail¬
road, when constructed, can transport freights at an average cost of
2 cents per ton per mile, and make fair dividends to the stockholders,
is well sustained.
Your committee then proceeded to enquire what tolls the James
river and Kanawha company can charge, not only to enter into com¬
petition with the Southside railroad when completed, but to ensure the
carriage of agricultural and mineral productions and heavy merchan¬
dize. To do this satisfactorily to themselves, they considered it ne¬
cessary to ascertain the probable cost of transportation on the railroad
from Lynchburg to Richmond, when completed, and also the tolls
which can be charged on the canal, together with the freights, which
will not exceed the charges on the railroad.
The distance from Lynchburg to Petersburg is estimated at 120
miles, and the same to Richmond.
Then the cost of transportation of one ton of tobacco from
Lynchburg to Richmond, 120 miles, at 2 cents per mile, 2 40
Ön the canal the distance is 146 miles, at 1 cent per ton
per mile, - - - - - 1 46
Freight at 75 cents pr hhd., average weight 1,600 lbs., per
tnq, - - - - " "
$2 39.7
[ Doc. No. 25.]
11
From the above calculation it appears that when the Southside rail¬
road is completed, the tolls on tobacco cannot exceed 1 cent per ton
per mile on the canal—to enter into competition with the railroad, and
to ensure the transportation on the canal, they must be reduced to 8
mills per ton per mile.
It then becomes a question of serious importance, whether it be
better gradually to reduce the tolls as recommended by your commit¬
tee, by doing which a competition may at once be commenced with
the Central railroad for the freights from Staunton and the adjacent
country—encouragement will be given to the farmers to enlarge their
crops, thereby greatly increasing the tonnage on the canal—tonnage
will be drawn from an extensive country on both sides of the canal its
entire length, and at least 50 miles above Buchanan ; Southwestern
Virginia will be induced to grow and transport a large amount of pro¬
ductions on the Virginia and Tennessee railroad to Lynchburg to be
carried on the canal to Richmond, and public opinion will be satisfied
that the stockholders are disposed to remove the excessive burden of
taxation imposed by high tolls, or to wait until the Southside railroad
shall force the reduction above indicated, when all public sympathy
for the canal shall have been destroyed, and the railroad patronized
in all cases of equal expenditure.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

SUBSTITUTE
PROPOSED BY COL. BONDURANT.
As a member of the committee appointed by tbe stockholders at
their last annual meeting, to consider the question of the revision
of the tariff of tolls, I beg leave to state that I was not in attendance
at the meeting of the conjmittee which convened in the city of Rich¬
mond in Maj' last, in consequence of not being advised of said meet¬
ing. I was also prevented from meeting the committee at their ad¬
journed meeting in October for want of timely notice.
Being in attendance upon the meeting of the committee for the first
time on the 21st inst., and the committee then finding itself under the
necessity, for the want of a quorum, of adjourning over to the next
day, but little time was afforded me, before the meeting of the stock¬
holders on this evening, for full and satisfactory consideration of the
matter in hand, further than to satisfy my own mind that I could not
assent to the report prepared and read to the committee by the chair¬
man, and by the committee agreed to be submitted for your approval.
I beg, however, without going into detail, or giving reasons in full,
to submit the following tariff' of tolls for the consideration of the stock¬
holders. In my humble judgment it is that now most in keeping with
the best interests of the company and the state:
All articles now paying four cents per ton per mile, to be charged
at that rate, except the following, which shall be charged at the rate
of cents :
Agricultural implements.
Coffee,
Cotton,
Flax,
Hides and skins, dry and green.
Laid,
Mackerel and other fish,
Metals not otherwise designated,
Mutton,
Steam engines.
Soap,
Sugar,
Venison.
14
[Doc. No. 2.5.]
The following, also now included in the class paying 4 cents per ton
per mile, shall pay, respeciively, viz :
Peas, 2 cents.
Ashes, pot and pearl, 2J.
Tobacco, which now pays 3J cts., to be charged 3 cts.
Articles now paying 3 cenls, hereafter to be charged at that rate,
with the exception of agricultural products not otherwise designated,
and apples and other domestic fruit, green and dry, which shall pay
2J cents per ton, and barley, which shall pay 2 cents.
Flour and wheat, tobacco stems and scraps, which now pay 2J
cents, to be reduced to 2 cents.
Articles paying 2 cents, to be charged at that rate, with the excep¬
tion of the following, which shall pay cents, viz:
Barrels, casks and boxes, empty,
Bran and other mill ofliil,
Oats,
Salt,
Shorts and ship-stuff.
Tar,
Caps, sill and other framing.
Timber of all kinds to be charged at 5 mills per ton.
Hoop poles, at 2¿- mills per ton.
Potatoes, 1 cent per ton.
Table A, herewith communicated, will shew the loss of revenue to
the company on the tonnage of 1850. But there are other causes
more than sufficient to make up the loss of revenue by the proposed
reduction.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
