I that woald rank as tirst class, and wouid be ( as permanent as is consistent with the mi* ; lure of railroad work. The repairs then j : might be greatly reduced. Although the 1 : amount expended in the last five years upon } construction is large, tlie JSoard is satisticd j : tliat the work lias not progressed faster than was nnecessary. Tlic new bridges i | should all be covered arid closed in. A ' bridge exposed to tho weather cannot be j relied on for longer than six or seven years, i i Olio covered will last for twenty years, and I perhaps for n much longer lime, It is believed that the income of the Kond : will increase, Certainly it will do so when i the Jllue Ridge Koad is opened up. Hut : I j the lioard feel it their duty to say, that the ' i i income of the lload, whilst it may be snllj- j t , eient lo defray all the expenses of working ' t it, and lo pay the iulcrcsi on the bonds, ! ( and leave a surplus, yet that it will riot he j } suHicienl to meet the heavy expenses of the ! , works of construction now commenced and rccoiniucnded to be done. If the Company determines to continue tneso works or improvement, it will be necessary to provide P the money to psiy for (hem. The Hoard ft therefore recommends h further issue of ( Bonds to the amount of two hundred and t fifty thousand dullard, if so much should bo n necessary. n Hy y?ur resolution, passed at the last annnal meeting, tho BoanJ qf Directors was f. authorised to issue $100,000 in memorandum [8 cheeks for on^ two and three dollars. Tho e Board, ypon consultation upon the subject, 3f eamo to lUe conclusion Dial it was not lawr. ful for us to issue paper resembling bank bills; an J as it seemed to ba your desire p. that these checks should pass as smnil bills, )? and as they would not do so unless they rescinbled paper money, none wore issued. * I : At your la>t meeting you also authorized ! lite 1 Minnl to take Stork in tlie llluo llidjje J |{;ii!ro,i.| Company. to the amount of twenty- | five thou>au<l dollars, to he |>:ii< 1 hv trails- | pollution of materials to lie used in the J huildintr of their roa?l.
