Decisions of Sec of War

| 1st It seems to me the equitable principle of
settlement in this case would be the value of the iron taken up at the
time of the seizure of the Road for the purpose of removing the track
-- Yet it is even more clear that the price the Government should pay
ought to be reimbursed by the Road to which the Iron was transferred
-- Don't the settlement made with that Road, preclude such reimbursement
in full, 24 Apl '63 |
| 2nd The Q M Genl has been instructed to present such
evidence to the auditor as he can conveniently procure as to the value
of the Iron at the time of its seizure. A reasonable time must be
allowed for the presentation of that evidence -- when the auditor must
settle and report the account -- the auditor may prescribe what he
considers such reasonable time 27 April "63 |
| 3rd The Auditor, if the time which he fixed as
reasonable for the exhibition of proof in the matter of this Rail Road
iron has passed, should proceed on the evidence existing in the case
as offered by the parties, to make up his settlement &
report. 8 May 1863 |
