CIRCULAR,

WASHINGTON August /, 1891,
SIR: After consulting many persons interested in the
- principal Railroads in the United States the under
signed propose to establish agencies in this city and in
New York for the purpose of collecting full and authen-
tic Railroad statistics and such other information as will
enable them to persons desiring 10 invest in Rail-
road securities or to procure information of any matters
connected with the construction and administration of
Railroads They also propose, especially to urge upon
Congress modification Of the laws relating to contracts
for carrying the mail, to authorize the Post Office
Department to contract for the perpetual of Railroads.
and instead Of paying quarterly contracts for
four years. TO advance In FIVE per cent bonds Of the United
States chargeable upon the of the Post Office
Department amount the interest upon which per
cent. would equal the payments now made
The Government pays $500 per mile for carrying
the mail on frstclass Railroads This is per cent on
$4,000 The undersigned would urge that instead of pay
ing $500 mile, per annum the Department should de-
liver, on contract in perpetuity, five $1,000 bonds
bearing interest of five per centum At this rate the
charge upon the Department would be reduced from $500
to $3.50 mile, per annum, and the $50 mile saved
would create sinking fund.- which will in a few years
pay off the bonds and give the of such roads forever
thereafter tree Of all charge; thereby effecting vast
saving the present annual expenditures Of the Post
Office Department, and consequent reduction of the
rates of postage.
The effect will be no lcss advantageous to Railroad COM
panies than TO the Government. For instance, such
contract would give to the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad
Company more than S200o00O, which would enable that
company to complete ts road at early day, and greatly
increase It's business aud profits
But to objections and impress the public mind
with proper sense Of the benefits to result from this
will require concert of action and continued
active effort through the press and otherwise The
ersgned tender their services to your company expect
ing reasonable compensation, partly contingent upon
the Of the measured and respectfully suggest the
propriey Of your sending delegates to this
CITY, the first Wednesday in December next to confer
with delegates from other Railroad companies TO the
details of the proposed arrangement the best mode
bringing the subject before Congress.
Should 1t be your pleasure to accept Of services in
this matter will promptly attend to all other business,
which you, your Company, may have with the Post
Office Department, other branch Of the Government
