| The above mentioned cars are not in as good
order as when they were impressed, but OM Avert President of the Road
having abandoned all claim for him thereof, have agreed to accept them
as they stand. The prices above given were fixed by the State
Commissioners of Alabama upon appeal from the award of the local
appraisers. In discussing the question before the State Commissioners,
attention was called to the fact that "the local appraisement was
not made by the State Commissioners till 26 April 1864, though delays
interspersed by OM Avery, still the payment should be made in the old
issue, or in the new subject to a reduction of one third." Col.
A. L. Rives Acting Chief of Engineer Bureau at Richmond Va. will pay
the above balance of two hundred and forty four thousand, nine hundred
and forty six & 48/100 dollars to O. M. Avery President Ala &
Fla RRd Co. of Fla. on order, Subject to such reduction in new
currency as he may determine, in view of the above related facts. |
