January Is. 1852
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
we commence to-day the publication of the
Report of the Board Ct Public Works of Virginia.
recently transmitted to the Legislature. It is an
important document, every way deserving the pre-.
found consideration of the People of the State
Its author, Gov. FLOYD, has long been regarded
as one of the most enlightened advocates of the
policy of Internal Improvements, within the limits
of the Commonwealth, and the Report nav with
justice be regarded as by far the most powerful
appeal in behalf of that important interest, that
has ever been addressed TO tho People of Viz,
gna
The State has projected magnificent schema
OF internal improvement, and the main object soua!,.
to DO attained by the Report, is to stimulate her
people TO consummate this scheme, and thus aid in
developing the immense resources which now lie
sumbering at their feet.
The Report states that CTS miles of railroads
have been already completed, and that 637 miles
arc now under contract. The capital stock of
the railroad companies amounts to ssI6ll7.l0o
in which the State has an interest of S7,3644s3
80. Besides her railroads. the State has s72
miles OF canals already constructed The Re.
port then proceeds to trace out the various lines
OF improvement completed and projected
the vast benefits which must inevitably flow
from the completion of our gigantic system, and
urges the people to strain every nerve towards
the attainment of an object every way SO dasira-
BILE, every way SO glorious.
The Report represents the credit of the State
in the markets Of the world, to be good
her bonds, as we all know, are now selling
at handsome premum,-but it argues in
favour of creating home demand for State obii-
cations, and proposes to attain this end by maxi
ing them the basis of banking operations-in other
words, it recommends the adoption of the Free
Banking system. The report also directs attention
to the condition of the James River and Kama
wha company; urges the Legislature to take steps
at once to meet the accumulated interest upon
the debt of that company, and concludes by max
ing some illusions to the constitution of the new
Board of Public Works
Again we invoke for this report the careful
perusal and calm reflection Of every citizen who
has the welfare of the State at heart.
