SIR AFTER consulting many persons interested IN
the principal Rail Roads in the United States the
undersigned prcpose to establish agencies in this
city and in New York, for the purpose of collect
ing full and authentic Railroad statistics and
such other information as will enable them to serve
persons desiring 10 invest in Railroad securities,
or 10 procure information ofany mattersconnected
with the construction and administration OF Raj.
Roads. They also propose, especially, TO urge
upon Congress modification of the laws relat.
ing to contracts for carrying the mail, so as to
thorize the Post Office Department 10 contract foi
the perpetual use of Rail Roads, and. instead ci
paying, as now, quarterly on contracts for foui
years, 10 advance in five per cent. bonds of the
United States, chargeable upon the revenues Of
the Post Office Departmental amount, the int
rest upon which at per cent. would equal II 2
payments now made.
The government now pays 5000 per mile for
carrying the mail on first class Ra-Roads. This
is 6 per cent. on $1,000. The undersigned would
urge that, instead OF paying $500 mile, per an
mum, the Department should deliver, on aeontract
n perpetuity, five 81 900 bonds, bearing an int
rest 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 per mile
saved would create sinking fund which will, in a
fewyears pay otthe Bonds, and give theuse ofauch
roads forever thereafter free of all charge there
by eifecting a vast saving on the present annual
expenditures of the Pc Office Department, and
u consequent reduction of the rates of postage.
The effect will be no less advantageous TO Rail
Road Companies than to the government. For
instance, such contract would give to the Bati-
more and Ohio Railroad Company more than
81, 900 900, which would enable that complete its
road at early day. and greatly increase its BUSH
ness and profits.
But to meet objections and impress the public
mind with proper sense of the benefits to result
from this measure will require concert OF action
and continued active effort, through the press and
otherwise. The undersigned tender their services
to your Company, expecting reasonable COM
pensaton, partly contingent upon the success OF
the measure and respectfully suggest the pro-
priety of your sending more delegates to
this city, on the first "Wednesday in December
next, to confer with delegates from other Rail
Road Companies, as to the details Of the propos-
ed arrangement and the best mode ofbringing the
subject before Congress
Hoping to hear from you at your earliest con.
venience, we are, respectfully, your ob't serv't.
