| From the Southern Federal Union (Milledgeville, Ga.) |
| |
| December 31, 1861 |
| |
| Report of the Superintendent and Treasurer of the
Western & Atlantic Railroad to His Excellency Joseph E. Brown,
Governor |
| September 30, 1861 |
| |
| Superintendent's Report |
| Office Supt. W. & A. Railroad |
| Atlanta, Ga. |
| Oct. 1st, 1861 |
| |
| His Excellency Joseph E. Brown |
| |
| Sir, |
| Herewith, according to the requirement of
Law, I submit to your Excellency a Statement of the workings of this
Road, for the fiscal year ending 30th of September, 1861. |
| The Gross Income for this time has been |
|
$892,436.96 |
| Working expenses, including repairs of Depot
Buildings, Right
of Way, &c. |
|
345,394.63 |
| Leaving, as Nett Profits |
|
547,041.73 |
| Of this there has been paid into the State
Treasury |
$438,000 |
|
| And for Right of Way, Depot Buildings and
expenses of former Administration |
3,669.16 |
|
| For Bonds redeemed, and Coupons |
23,500.00 |
|
| And there is on hand now, as per Treasurer's
Report |
63,091.30 |
|
| The above amount of Working Expenses, includes
the amount paid for new Railroad Iron, Spikes, &c. |
|
$32,469.01 |
| There is also due from old U. S. Government for
transportation of Mail |
$9,138.59 |
|
| And from Confederate States for transportation |
12,592.38 |
|
| And same, for transportation of Mail |
4,328.30 |
|
|
| As the workings of one fiscal year,
necessarily runs into the next, they cannot be other than
approximately shown by each Annual Report; for instance, as will be
seen by the accompanying "Financial Table." The balance due
last year by connecting roads, was $45,768.19; and this year
72,556.23. These balances are often difficult of adjustment on account
of over and under charges on Bills of Lading over the different roads,
and require much time to adjust them. I trust, at any rate, that the
State will be satisfied with the exhibit, and especially so, as most
of our freights have consisted of heavy freights from the West, most
of which have been done at a low rate, while our trains have had, to a
great extent, to go back West empty, as there have been but few goods
to freight. And I may add that this has been the case for the most of
the time from the commencement of your Administration until now. I
deem it unnecessary to make further comment, but submit it to the
public. |
| It may not be amiss that I should
state, that during your Administration there has been
forty-nine miles (over one-third of the length of the Road) of
heavy new T-Rail laid down, worth with labor of putting down
cross ties, clamps and spikes, $4,500 per mile (a low
estimate) making the sum total of |
$220,050 |
| There have been 12 very heavy
arches of fine mechanical construction, put up by Mr. Wm G
Grambling, our Master Carpenter, in the inside of the high
Bridge over the Chattahoochee river, worth, with the heavy
additional Iron put in, at least $400 per arch; making |
4,800 |
| Also, a new Bridge over Allatoona
Creek, worth |
3,000 |
| Work on the high Bridge, over
Etowah River, in re-covering, additional heavy Irons, and
other repairs |
2,000 |
| New Howe Truss Bridge, over
Pettit's Creek |
3,000 |
| New Bridge over the rapid stream of
Two Run, of heavy stone work piers, with stringers fastened
down to them, planned by Martin, H. Dooley, the Road
Supervisor, and, as I think, the cheapest and best Railroad
Crossing, for small streams of rapid current, I have anywhere
seen -- worth |
2,000 |
| A similar Bridge near Adairsville |
1,200 |
| A new Trestle Bridge over the
Oothcaloga Creek |
400 |
| Also, 220 feet new Trestle Work at
the approach of the Bridge over Oostanala River, with repairs
on Bridge itself |
1,800 |
| New Depot at Tilton, and longsiding
the Passenger Depot at Chattanooga, cost about $40,000 which
was paid by this Road. But we have sold two of the four
tracks, and have been, and will be remunerated $20,000 of
this, having paid for and owned by this road |
20,000 |
| In addition to this, there have
been large additional sidings, and additional transfer
platform at Chattanooga, a siding built at Rogers, near half a
mile long. Villages built on land bought at different points
on line of road, on which are built over 40 comfortable
cottages, for track hands and their families, worth
altogether, fully, with land |
6,000 |
| Making an aggregate of |
$265,050 |
|
| These figures are all, I think, very low.
The Road bed is in fine condition, and will so be found on
examination: so is the principal part of the machinery, both Engines
and Cars. I should, if called upon to fix a value on this great State
work, feel wholly incompetent to do it; but would always be ready to
give it, as my opinion, that the State should never part with it at
any price. |
| With the men connected with the road, I
part with regret; the most of us have been co-laborers for a length of
time, and have done a good deal of hard service; and what of success
has been the result of our joint labors is attributable much more to
them than to me. |
| It is, I think due, that I should say
something in this report, which closes my labor of this Road, in
regard to our Engineers, or "runners." There are some of
these who have been on the Road for a long time, and steady, competent
sober-minded, faithful men. These, in my opinion, deserve and ought to
receive, more pay than untried men. There are some itinerating runners
for whom I have (to say the least of it) a feeling amounting to horror
-- incompatible, reckless, and devoid of the feeling of moral
responsibility; they are unfit to be put in charge of life and
property. No road should give employment to Engineers (as runners)
without a good recommendation, and then be put on probationary
wages. Further than this, it would be good policy for all the Southern
roads, to take in young men of good moral character, learn them,
first, to be machinists, and then give them charge of Engines on the
road -- such a training would identify them with the road and its
interests. Of the future of the road, I will only say, that the
present prospect is very gloomy, as to its making much money; Rail
Road supplies are enormously high, and still advancing and difficult
to get at all. Labor is high; trade and commerce nearly destroyed by
our political troubles, so that it would be expecting too much of the
road to suppose that its income should even be kept at what it has
been, or now is. |
