| Sir, |
| Our engines and cars are
becoming disabled by reason of the wearing out of the ?oss boxes of
the trucks of the same. One of our engines is now laid up on this
account. |
| I know of no source other than
the government power which to obtain the material to render help for
supplying our wants in this subject, and I have therefore to ask of
you a requisition on the ordnance officer of this department for two
hundred pounds of block tin to be paid for by this company. |
