ORR 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 will
enable them persons desiring to invest in Rail-
road securities, 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 as to authorize the Post ONCE
Department to contract for the perpetual use OF Railroads
and instead of paying now quarterly contracts for
four years. advance in per cent bonds of the United
States chargeable upon the of the Post Office
Department an amount interest upon which at per
cent would equal the payments now made
The Government now pays $500 per mile for carrying
the mail ON frstclass Railroads. This is per cent
$4,000 The undersigned would urge that instead of
ing $500 mile, per annum the Department should de-
liver, contract in perpetuity, hye $lOOo bonds
bearing an interest Of FIVE per cenum At this rate the
charge upon the Department would be reduced from $500
to $3.50 mile, per annum, and the 500 mile saved
would create sinking fund, which will, in few years,
pay Oft the bonds and give the of such roads forever
thereafter free of all charge; thereby eecting vast
saving the present annual expenditures Of the Post
Office Department, and consequent reduction of the
The effect will be no less to Railroad
panies than to the Government For instance, such
contract would give 10 the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad
Company more than 100000, which would enable that
company to complete its road at early day. and greatly
increase its business and profits.
But to meet objections and impress the public mind
with proper sense OF the benefits to result from this
active effort through the press and otherwise. The
dersgued tender their services to your company expect
ing reasonable compensation, partly contingent upon
the of the measure and respectfully suggest the
propriety Of your sending delegates TO this
city, on the first Wednesday in December next to confer
with delegates from other Railroad companies, to the
details of the proposed arrangement and the best mode
bringing the subject before Congress.
Should IL be your pleasure to accept Of services in
this matter will promptly attepdto all other business
