justice of such a decision I leave to your
selves but it was the order, and had to be
complied with OF the above 46 engines,
- viz Nos. q, 70, 70, Sc, lis, l20, l25,
126, 148, 179. 18I, 2O3, were, by order Of the
Secretary Of War, transferred to other roads
after having been in our possession ten
weeks; and our having expended upon them
1886 o. Both Mr. BURNS and myself re-
monstrated against this act on, but without
avail. On the remaining 81 engines bought
from the Government, we have expended
for repairs SIS, 257 %, being an average Of
l,7l3 A, and this expense is equal to Al
per. cent. Of the gross earnings. We have
also expended 81, 407 81 to convert II en-
gines from wood burners to coal burners, the
average cost of Transformation being
800 So.
The engines belonging to the old organi-
cation were, if anything, in worse condition
than the cars We have been able to use
but nine out Of the lot, twenty-six in all, and
some Of these only in cases of extreme ne
cessity Those that have been made useful
were put in order at an expense of S, S3l II,
average being 81, 092 Al. One of the old
engines has been converted into a coal burn
er. The balance of the old engines, except
Nos. 5, 7, s, 9, y, II, IS, 20 and q, which
can be put in order by heavy expenditure.
1 recommend that, with the old cars, they
be sold for scrap, and, in my opinion, the
sooner it is done the more will be realized
from them. The nine engines made use of
are as follows: Sewer, Tennessee, Pollard,
Jno. P. King Peabody. Trenholm, Soatta,
Lamar and Jourdine. The unserviceable
engines are the Rogers, Colwell, Winchester
Conner, Clay, Webster, Jackson, Polk and
White The four scrap engines are the
Cumberland, Stevenson, Thompson and Watt
terson. The two engines, Moore and Smart
claimed by the McMinneville and Manehes-
ter r. Z. Co., are not mentioned in above
list.
Our engines may be classified as follows:
