views, Of course we 10 MI intend 10 come in
conflict with the opinions ofthe frsl Engineers"
u the country. We consider their opinions en-
tiile TO great wsigit upon question. Of this kind,
when the whole subject is before them. With
ihis remark, TO prevent misconceI,ion. We re-
specially submit The following considerations in
behalf of this place in The location of The princi-
pal workshops ofihe Company:
I. If as the srst Engineers of the country"
assert, ITO miles is the creates, distance q Loco
motive should travel without being overhauled,
is il erpedient to locale the workshops al point
which makes i necessary for the locomotive 10
run the extreme distance al every trip,
Axis expected that the North Carolina Road
will be extended west from some point al or near
Salisbury. 4 shop Of some kind, in that event,
will be necessary at Salisbury. the paint q di-
,ergcnce. With q repair shop, then, Of salishu-
r., and one At Goidsto,ough, il j. evident that
lIillshorough. as the intermediate point be,wccrI
the two, would be the most suitable place to|
laeaie he principal workshops. Without any
increase in the number of the workshops. aud
consequently without additional expense. the loj
comoiives instead Of being pushed 10 the est-cnf
Of ITO miles. would make two stages Of 81 mileA
each, and one Of 20; al each Of which they may
he overhauIed. q
3. The site wkich the town Of Hillsboroush
offers to convey to the Company. is very elgi-
HE one. II Isl mistake 10 say that il Is very rough
and would require heavy expense in grading. Wc
have examined into the matter, and find that a
large cmbansmert will have to be made at this
point, to provide for double track at the Depot,
large psn Of the earth Cor which must he Dor.
rowcd. III dwelling lie site for the workshops
The earth for The cmhankmcnt would be furnished
whereby the Company would no, only he reliev-
ed from extra expense, but be benefited by It.
4. llillsborough is entitled to some consdera.
ton by The friends of this work; and il benefit
can be conferred upon her citizens without inju
~ 10 the Company. il should give pleasure Il
the Directors to conSrit. The citizens OF Hills
bGol,l. it will be remembered subscrih ID m o
Tor the road, in proportion to their means, thar
those Of any other community; aud in fact, SC
cured the charter FIR the Rad.
To sum up: BY placing the principal work
shops at Hillshorough, and the repair shops a
Salisbury aud Gollshorough, the locomotive
will, in no case, be required to run the ertrem
distance of 10 miles without being overloaded
The trips will be pretty equally disided--fror
Goidsborough 10 Hllshorough, being 81 niles
from Hillsborough to Salisbury, about 81 miles
aud from Salisbury To Charlotte. and back, abou
20 miles an eligible site al this place has bee
offered TO the Company free Of expense, the grad
ing Of which would not be attended with niue
cost to the Company; and the benefits Of the L
cation will be conferred upon people who hav
done much for the Road, and who will conlinu
to be its fast friends.
We respectfully submit these views for III
4 consideration of the Directors. They are, W
\ think, worthy Of notice, If they may not be r.
g,rded as conclusive upon the point involved
