Which leaves $275, ia as the current expenses
for the year 1868, and exhibits difference Of
but $5l7 in favor of the year just closed, instead
of nearly $4,000, as claimed by the report.
But there is another consideration to be taken
into the account in making this comparison be-
tween the two years. "On the 18th of April
last the trains commenced running through the
Blue Ridge Tunnel, consequently rendering the
use of the temporary track over the Blue Ridge
no longer necessary" 1t is thus seen that for
nearly six months of the last year the heavy ex-
pense incurred in running across the mountain
had been dispensed with. In view of these facts
| think it clear that the expenses of 1858 have
been in no degree diminished as compared with
those of 1867.
In regard to the exciting topic of dividends,
about which the Board seem so sensitive, pre-
sumo there will be no dissent from the PROPOSE.
ton, that sound policy, and proper regard to
the Just rights of the creditors of the company,
alike forbid the payment of dividends until the
revenue derived from the road is sufficient to
pay the current expenses, make proper allow
ance for the depreciation of the rolling stock,
&C., pay the interest on the debt, and appropri-
ate to sinking fund an amount annually, that
will liquidate the entire debt at its maturity.
That part of the report which refers to the
subject OF "tariff of charges for passengers and
tonnage" commences with an expression of re.
greet that this subject sis so little understood, u
and that the public have been demanding ''re-
duced rates of transportation" without correct
information" upon this important and abstruse
question. This beginning led me to expect from
the report food of light on this subject tina.
would have forever illumined the darkened un-
derstandngs of the people, and dispersed the
thick clouds of ignorance that have so long en-
veloped "the residents along the line of this
railroad" But in this expectation have been
disappointed.
The extraordinary labor and care from the
Board, with the advice of the Superintendent OF
Transportation, bestowed upon this subject du-
ring the summer, seems to have resulted only IN
the important discovery that in some cases the
charges were about cost and in some actually
below"
But the Stockholders and the residents along
the line" are not informed that at the time this
discovery" was made the average rate OF
charges was double the cost of transportation
And although near two pages of the report are
occupied with this subject, it is yet difficult to
ascertain from it whether or not new tariff Of
